Okuni & Shigeko, the geisha girls from CARS 2 has been upgraded. They have always had the eyelid line but now Okuni & Shigeko are unibody, they had segmented face in their original release.

Yep, the Finish Line McQueen in the 11-pack is a segmented Lightning McQueen, the 1st in a long time … But it makes sense as the tongue is tougher to attach to metal … But maybe I never noticed before (my old Finish Line McQueen is in a box) but they actually angled the front […]

Thanks, “Tim L.” for the heads up & nice photos. The 2021 CARS Advent Calendar is pretty cute … Nice attention to details, notice the “snowman” in CARS World is really a “snow-car,” as why would they base a packed snow creature resembling a “huu-man,” who does not exist in CARS World.
