“It’s Halloween in Radiator Springs! Dad Gum!………………Tow Mater has gotten dressed up as his
favorite villain Darth Vader but has changed his name to Darth Mater! His Light Saber is fashioned
from an old fluorescent light bulb and it rotates and makes cool sounds as well. His one good
headlight flickers off and on and his side car battery and front plate also flicker off and on.
His entire body also shakes to show that he’s so scary, he’s actually scared his own self !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Darth
Mater finish is different shades of black, and Glossy and Matte. Larry the Cable guy did some very funny
sayings that Darth Mater says when you bring him to life.
He is sitting on a base that looks the floor of the Death Star, the entire base lights up with it’s very own light
show!
This is the only prototype of this kind in the world and it will also come with the signatures of George Lucas
and John Lasseter. He is 19" long, 10" high, by 7" wide. His base is made of Black Acrylic, 22" wide, 19"
deep, by 19".
The original is about 1:12 scale? Built by had by CARS lead designer, Martin Arriola.
For the theme park Star Wars Disney Days event/fan fest, they offered a full lineup of 25 die cast "CAR WARS" including their version of "Darth Mater." They called it 1:43 scale but they were really 1:55 scale ... you can find them all in the last pages of our annual checklist.
They also released Mater as "Darth Vader Death Star Battle."
