Upcoming Pixar reader Brinke has sent in a picture of matchbox models of the Cars characters he has collected.
Pretty neat little collection there. I myself bought a Doc Hudson diecast matchbox model.
I think these diecast models are one of the best pieces of merchandise from the movie. However I have been reluctant to buy a Mater diecast, because as much as I love him, the diecast looks very un-metal like. I was very impressed also to see a 1:24 scale diecast model of Lightning McQueen. Looks very cool!
Brinke also points out that he found this on the Japenese Disney Story…
Also, check out Brinke’s blog. He’s got some cool photos of the life-size Sally and Lightning cars, as well as photos of the 1:24 scale McQueen diecast and follow these links for pics of his collection of Pixar toys…

Yo! I found a cool Disney pin that was available on the opening day of Cars. Look through this:

Pretty cool, eh?
Woah! That Lightning in Dinoco blue is VERY SWEET! How rare would that be!!
Patton Oswalt is confirmed to playing Ratatouille. Just look at Ratatouille’s IMDB profile.
I tend not to trust IMDB that often: I see alot of errors when it concerns television. But so many people are mention Oswalt that it’s obvious that he’s legit – I think.
I actually saw the Mater Matchbox and I thought he looked great, at least for a toy car anyway . . .
To the stuff about the pin and Dinoco blue McQueen:
I have no idea. I haven’t seen much merchandising for Cars in stores (except the ones my family buys me. 😉 ) so I have no idea how rare they are. I’m guessing it’s pretty hard to find. But it could be the least rare. You never know.
i have looked twice at all the Cars gear that has sprouted up about the place.. I ALMOST bought the lunchtin (my most prized King Kong thing) but I decided no. Plus if I wait long enough it will go on sale I know it!
As for IMDB – never trust anythign that can be updated by the general public who at different times think they know everything because their mother’s brother’s dog walker told them…
There’s now a blue MATER, too.
In what, Dinoco blue? 🙂 I think that it is the Mater before he became rusty and all redneckish. You know what? I like him rusty and redneckish.
Mater looks funny in his baby blue. Especially with his hood.
We just waiting for the new one from McD, now my boy had 6 of the CARS.

Anyone know who the Actual Manufacturer of these plastics cars from McDonalds is? I have a new novelty item and need to source cars that are similar in design but smaller. The weight of these cars in a smaller form factor would be perfect.
