MC: It is! I like how he’s an elaborate, old style type of car. It’s fitting. and Omg, I love her (I was going to say earmuffs)… “mirrormuffs”? Anyway, they’re cute. And the pin-striping on her side also.
I asked for her for Christmas! Along with Lightning and Holley.
I’d been hoping to get a Mater that didn’t have the “Team McQueen” logo on him, but it looks like I’d have to order it online. Which I’d rather not do. So I may just go ahead and get one with the logo.
Let’s see… so far, my Cars diecast collection consists of what I call the “Cars 2 Power of Four”: Lightning, Mater, Finn, and Holley. I’ve been interested in collection Cars diecast models ever since I saw the first movie in December 2008, but at the time, they were only selling lenticulars, and I prefer the ones with fixed eyes. I started last year when I wanted to have a Cars birthday cake, and I was totally unimpressed by the Wal-Mart cake figurines, so I decided I’d be better off getting the actual diecast models to decorate my cake. I won’t go into all the details of how long it took for me to find a Holley Shiftwell model, so here’s my list.
Sally, Sheriff, Ramone (the Cars 2 Chase “Radiator Springs” variant), Flo, Fillmore, Sarge, Luigi, Guido, Mack, and Valerie Veate (According to my Meet The Cars book, Valerie, who only gets a cameo during the epilogue, is head of the RS city expansion council. I liked the idea of getting a lesser-known Radiator Springs resident!)
Oh, and I hope so badly that they’ll make Otis!
I’m debating on getting some of the characters, but my goal is to basically find a Flo’s V8 Cafe playset and use it to display my Cars characters and give them a place to hang out. I’ll have to make a list of my considerations here sometime. I love this hobby…
