Mattel Disney Pixar CARS: Tokyo Mater Diecasts Still MIA
We got a lot of fun Tokyo mater diecasts during the Toon era but there are a ton still missing in our collection …
We got some geisha CARS from CARS 2 but nt these with color tires ..
White & Green tire “Mia & Tia.”
We got KOMODO, one of the coolest CARS diecast (center) but the “Hearts” on (our) right has not … SUKI, the (our) left was released (thanks Quercy).
This is one of the few solo frame CAR without a release …
The Green, Yellow & Red “light” CARS.
We also don’t have the one on our left or Mater with Flag … Ichigo (on our right was released as a CHASE, thanks “RCcars5”)
The cool crowd scene at the end …
And once listed … “Moderfied” Mater …

the one pictured under this caption “ This is one of the few solo frame CAR without a release …” is MANJI and was released as a die cast.

KAA REESU was also released and looks similar.
(MET: You are right in that they’re similar but the car in the short has no spoiler but most likely it’s because he’s not all the interesting but I noticed he was the only one clearly seen in a full frame without a release).
manji has a wing in the aerial shot. the car is facing away from the camera. the lack of a wing in the one shot is a mistake. you can see the sun looking decal on the hood that identifies that one as manji. by the way, manji is a drifting technique wherein you slide the car down a straightaway alternating drifts in a zig zag pattern.
Two of the ones you have pictured appeared in ‘Cars 2’ and were released: Ichigo and Harumi.
(MET; Thanks, updated).
Which one was Ichigo?
Oh! I found her. I noticed she’s also in the crowd scene at the end.
Has anyone else noticed that the fin on “Hearts” almost looks like blonde hair? 🙂
Moderfied Mater… would be so easy for them to do and sooooo profitable adding only couple plastic pieces… Hey Mattel! we are waiting this one for 10 years now…

I agree! We need Moderfied Mater!
Someone needs to tag Mattel in this post!
Speaking of Toon… with the arrival of Corporal Josh Coolant we may see also Andy Gearsdale which was seen as backdoor years ago (got one myself) and why not some other cool ones like on the last picture from that article below, the rocket launcher on the far right or Tia Mia on the previous pic…

Any new Toons would not survive very long on shelves…
Additional, I’m pretty sure the black and red plaid one flanking Yokoza was released, maybe both of them — I’d have to go look at my collection.
Yes, that was CHISAKI and on the other side is HARUMI.
(MET: Oops, thanks, will update).
The one on the left of Komodo I believe is SUKI ?
(MET: Yep, missed it, thanks).
In the crowd scene, notice the van painted in the colors of the “Catbus” from “My Neighbor Totoro”.
