Thanks Sergio (Carsinitaly) for the heads up and photos. Presumably coming to the US soon – looks fun and cool. Mahalo Fillmore (a natural) Grass Hurt Mater Surfer Dude McQueen. okay, I made up the names … but look for them soon.

Here’s a nice look-overview of all the Next Gen releases plus most of the variants. (I didn’t bother with Jackson Storm or Cruz as most everyone has its variants … also Noah Gocek is missing, sorry). I don’t consider the silver metallic ones part of the mainline but color metallics are.

Thanks, “Samuel K.”  for the nice photos. Harvey Rodcap’s single version (correct version) has the back window support and slightly different eyeline … The multi-pack version contains the non-window support version and different eyeline.

I can’t remember if I ran this link but it’s probably been a while so if you missed, you can check it out and check it out.  This is what the Mattel Design Center looks like … (CARS is on the other side of the left wall) A fun look at the design process HERE.

As expected, Nicky B. shows up in the retro scene … More pics of the diecast HERE. One more for CARS 1 collectors.
