Kimura Kaizo is an all-around great diecast. He is in scale, solid metal, heavy and full of great details. Believe it or not, the purple body and his entire black “skirt” area is actually all one piece of metal – it’s NOT plastic! While his “hair” is plastic, it’s a solid, shiny and nicely done […]

MattyCollector posted a tiny graphic showing off the next Kmart CARS Day diecasts and it is missing “the one,” that might cause you to rip something something a new one since we’re not getting a new one called RIP. So, the good news is that everyone will have a shot at getting the NOW EXCLUSIVE […]

Around the country, Walmart is opening up “Neighborhood Market’s” which are mostly food grocery stores and a smaller footprint.

The returning (CARS 1) oversized deluxe are here. The NEW CARS oversized deluxe are … Count Mater Francesco Fan Mater Materhosen … Ivan Mater Ivan (Ivan has the higher hood). Kabuki Mater and Mater Waiter. The returning CARS 1 oversized deluxe list is here.  

Yep, lenticulars are back but so far, it only looks like CARS 1 diecasts. Outside of Vern, there are some surprises. No Marlon Clutches McKay,  🙂 No Lightning McQueen and … And no distribution to the Big Four (Walmart, Target, Toys R Us and Kmart). It is an “exclusive” for EM Channels which means Kohl’s, […]

Another upgrade! Even Mama Topolino gets the upgrade or l’aggiornamento in Italian! The 2-pack Movie Moments that have arrived in EU have the unibody Mama Topolino. My Goodness! (or Mamma Mia!)
