Spotted the Pizza Planet truck in “B-Movie.” He seems to be an unused prop on the bottom shelf behind McQueen and Mater at the “WARDROBE” department. You can also see him in the title card for the episode. Has anyone spotted him in the other episodes?
My favorites were “Lights Out,” “Salt Fever,” and “Road Rumblers.”
I was a little disappointed that so many of the cars are just repainted, reformed ones from the movie series. Was hoping for completely new cars. But I suppose it would be cost-prohibitive to have all new cars. I do hope some of the newer ones that were made for this series join the diecast lineup.
Griswold, the “Truckster” wagon from The Legend episode has been released, and one of the salt flat racers is also out, a VW conversion.
Kay Pillar (circus host), Royce Revsley, Datz Jammin and the two crackpot pitty from Salt Flat as well 😉
Found another typical Mattel error. Kay Pillar-Durey is the name given on the card for the Circus Velocitas MC (the other is Mae Pillar-Durey). But the end credits for the episode list their names as Durev — with a V, not a Y. Ooops.
Never mind, upon closer inspection the typeface looks like a Y, but it is a V … so she is Kay Pillar-Durev ….
I spotted Pizza Planet in Trucks and Salt Fever… watch them again, I am sure you will see him! 🙂
Wanted to mention, I found the new Mater diecast with balloon. On the blue balloon is a spewing volcano logo and the words “Kersploosh Mountain.” You can see the same volcano logo on the map diagram on the new card. Wondering if the segment was dropped due to some legal issues with Nintendo, as they have a downloadable 3DS game “Kersploosh!” It’s a well where you drop things, like a rock, and you guide it past obstacles to get to the water at the bottom. Was there originally going to be ten episodes?
The original Cars 2 Mater with Balloon – the balloon also said Kersploosh Mountain. Good catch seeing that logo on the map
Enjoying the new series too! I went back and also watched Monster Truck Mater, think I’ll revisit all of the Cars Toons!
Another thing that surprised me was that all the episodes were released at one time. I expected them to be released one episode per week, like the Monsters At Work series. But I suppose since the the episodes were shorter, they decided to do it all at once
They’re all really fun! But I agree with you Quercy, Trucks was my least favorite. I wish we could’ve seen Mater’s mother and father!
The truck story wasn’t good and the trucks was all brand new (no dirt, scratches or rust) and none was having any logo or any identity… I do not see how these haulers can become exciting collectible items…
I watched them 3 times already and on the 3rd time I tried to count how many cars they could possibly do and that vary from 8 to over 30 different characters per episode that is without considering Mater and McQueen possible expression/scene. So overall, I would would say over a hundred but my guess is Mattel will release less than half of them over the next 8-12 months which would be pretty good considering the lack of new cars in the last year or two.
They’re all pretty darn fun. Watched them all twice now. Sooooo many ideas for new diecasts, but I wonder if we’ll see many of them?
I’m on the west coast and watched them all this morning.
My favorites are Dino Park, Salt Fever and Road Rumblers. My less favorite is Trucks.
