Thanks, “Mark T.” for the nice photos. The 2021 version of Fabulous Lightning McQueen is out, slightly different from the last version … On the right, different tampo decals, slightly more orange, slightly different eye position. All tampo decals in slightly different positions. The more yellow older version actually seems more accurate (card screenshot plus […]
