Here are some “Cars” movie toys

The About.com Web site has details about Mattel toys coming from Pixar Animation Studios‘ Route 66 film, “Cars,” to be released June 9.

Below are some character assortment toys. FYI: The sheriff’s car is voiced by Michael Wallis, who wrote “Route 66: The Mother Road” and is technical adviser for the film.

This is the Fast-Talkin’ Lightning McQueen toy, which has animated eyes, a moving mouth, can be programmed for 15 tricks and can say more than 30 phrases.

Here are Zip Sticks Racers.

ziptoys.jpgThis is a Later Mater game, in which players must race the clock to put the rickety Mater tow truck back together.

Finally, here is the Mountain Challenge Playset: “Kids will have fun recreating all of the excitement from the Disney/Pixar movie set by making it past the wagon wheel that spins randomly from this moving playset. They have to control the lever to make it past and over the bridge without getting thrown off the ‘mountain.’ Kids will love loading several favorite CARS character cars onto the mountain and watch it shake with crazy action. Look out for that wacky spin-out curve, every time the cars go around, something different happens. The Mountain Challenge playset comes with one ‘Willy’s Butte’ deco Lightning McQueen die-cast car.”

That mountain, by the way, will remind many Route 66ers of Oatman Road in western Arizona.

  1. the wrecker looks like my old homemade suzie a 56 JIMMI i made years ago, yes it ws a classic and worked like a mule for years , never did quit on me, sold it and it still would do the job, hauled thousands of junkers with suzie, sold to Ben Campo a old friend. In charlotte NC.

  2. Some of the toys will be making their way your usual big-box stores this month. Others won’t be on sale until May or June, shortly before the movie comes out.

    When I last checked, bigbadtoystore.com and 3000toys.com both were taking orders on several “Cars” toys.

  3. Lightning McQueen is the hottest! And it’s no wonder why! He’s voiced by Mr. Hottie himself, Owen Wilson. Mmmm, yeah!

  4. The toys should be in regular retail stores like Wal-Mart and Toys-R-Us right now. They’ve been trickling into stores in the past couple weeks.

  5. we got all of the mattel toys at target for 9.99 except the firetruck, lizzy and snot rod pack. we are still looking. also I found these same toys in Publics our local food store.

  6. Hier in Nederland, moet je stad en land afrijden om de 12 verschillende auto-tjes te bemachtigen. In de meeste winkels staan niet meer dan 3 exemplaren. Zo wordt verzamelen wel erg lastig.
    Bedankt Blokker en Bart Smit (en bestellen kunnen ze ze ook niet, omdat je niet kan opgeven welke je wilt hebben?)

  7. Hola!
    Mi hijo tiene la coleccion de “cars”, pero solo le falta a lizzie y chick.
    Por favor si alguien me puede decir donde puedo encontrarlos pork ya los he buscado y no los encuentro.

  8. Does anyone have any suggestions on where i can look online and get cars the movie toys for a non expensive price so far I have Mater, Lightning McQueen, DJ, Ramone, and Flo in 1:55 scale diecast.
    There is a website called http://www.allaboardtoys.com and all the cars toys are sold out I can understand why. They were going for cheep prices. Also there is another site called http://www.toywiz.com with nothing sold out but beware expensive. Does anyone know about the playsets for the little metal Cars the movie cars. The four playsets are Luigi’s Casa Della Tires, Flo’s V8 Cafe, Lizzie’s Curio Shop, & Ramone’s Body Shop. Well anyway at toywiz.com they have Flo’s V8 Cafe for FIFTY BUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When I could get it at toys r us for 25.00.

  9. Rumor has it that the Mattel Disney CARS will be discontinued after the November release of the movie so that the new CARS (Buzz & Woody & Hamm, Mike & Sully, young Doc Hudson Hornet, Yellow Ramone, plain McQueen, Red Ferrari, Guido & Luigi in Ferrari gear and Young Mater) can be released. I don’t know if this is true but would appreciate any information. The new cars can be seen @ Toywiz.com and are expected to release in January 2007.

  10. Steve,
    I just picked up Yellow Ramone, Radiator Springs McQueen, The Fabulous Hudson Hornet and Sally & Cruisin McQueen through Ebay at lower prices than ToyWhiz. As for the other rare ones, i have no idea. Brand New Mater or young Mater like some people say is really hard to find and is selling on Ebay for $40. There are plenty of fake ones so please be carefull when looking at them. I have already figured out which ones are fake. ToyWhiz doesn’t even have a picture of Red Ferrari and Hamm. I think it’s just Buzz & Woody.

  11. Where do you get them????
    IM LIVE IN GUADALAJARA, JALISCO, IN MEXICO, I COULD LIKE TO BUY THE MOVIE MOMENT THE BOOST AND SNOT ROD AND LIZZIE

  12. My son is chomping at the bit for Frank the combine and Bessie too. I am waiting for the japanese news reporter, she’s so cute! If there is a waiting list or pre-orders, that would be great.

  13. We live in Indianapolis and at the walmart on the East side they had all the movie moments (excluding monster trucks mike and sully)! Check on line at walmart! I would love to see the RVs from the race track too along with Frank, Bessie and all!

  14. Frank, the mad combine has only been spotted so far in a game called Tractor Tipping or something like that. It’s a board game. It’s tiny, but it was a great surprise to find him in there. If I find the exact name, I’ll post it tomorrow.

    Mack, the truck does exist. Look on ebay. Lots available.

    Red is on ebay and at Walmart too.

    Of course, my 2 year old would fall in love with Mater, Frank the mad combine, Red and Mack, all trucks in a movie called “Cars”. And I thought none of them existed except Mater until yesterday!

  15. Does anyone know where to find the diecast cars for under $4? I know Wal-mart and others have them for about $3.50 but I’m looking for DJ and don’t want to pay $12 and up for it.

  16. The only NEW cars in circulation are the mike and sulley movie moments and the Luigi and Guido Ferrari Fan movie moments. The only one (Reported anyway) that should be out sometime mid to late Feb is the Ferrari.

  17. Every kid I know of wants Frank more than any of the other character. Seems like Mattel is missinng the boat on this one.

  18. Thanks Ron, my son and I watched the movie at least 50 times, and didn’t see the closing credits too many times. My wife bought when she saw them them because we have every car available from the show, and several of many of them and all the playsets…. The new ones will be great. I wonder if they will make Frank..or Henry?

    Ian

  19. My son would be in seventh heaven with a die case Frank or Mack. I can’t believe they’ve made Buzz and Woody before they made Frank and Mack! Right now we’re making do with a 1:32 die cast/plastic SIKU 4251 red Massey Ferguson combine! He calls it Frank, and thats really all that matters 🙂

  20. I’m not sure. But I grew up on a farm, Eliza, and the red color makes it look like an International Harvester or a Massey-Ferguson.

  21. Those who are interested in a “make do” Frank. Google “siku 4251” and check it out. It is a 1:32 scale, die cast and plastic, RED, massey ferguson combine harvester with the grass cutter head on it. Not terribly cheap, and of course it doesn’t have eyes (maybe you could glue some on?) but it works well in every other regard. My 3 year old son *loves* this “Frank”.

  22. i am looking for bessie. i have 2 boys that have almos all of the cars with the exception of mike and sully.. now we want bessie.. will one be coming out

  23. on our website – http://www.vankleyfarmtoys.com – newest toy link – we have the Case-IH 7010 combine – stock #14556 – that people are buying from us and customizing in to Frank the combine to sell on ebay – they sell for $12.95 plus shipping – you can customize one for yourself –

  24. Has anyone tried contacting Mattel to get the inside scoop? Might be an idea if you can get to the right person.

  25. bessie is coming out as part of a playset. There is only one website in the entire web that states this. She will be part of a new series that is released in may or june 2007. Frank is not part of this group unfortunately. i did see a custommade Frank on Ebay that looked very good. You just have to search for it. Hope this helps some.

  26. I looove cars and i looove route 66 ! I have nearly all the guys and i would love Frank too ! Can anyone help ?

  27. My 2 yr old son loves the movie and Frank!! Really hoping that “Frank” will be out soon! I have only heard a rumor that it will happen.

  28. My son was so terribly afraid of Frank the first time he saw this movie… but now it’s his favorite character.

    Frank is the Boba Fett of the Pixar universe- only on the screen for a very limited time, but his following is huge!

    MAKE A FRANK, ALREADY!!!

  29. uuuuuum, hi ther me and my friend tutati like Lightningmcqueen. and we want all of the toys in this page.

  30. My husband and I loved the movie CARS. So, for Christmas 2006, I bought him all the usual die-cast CARS guys (and gals) in sets — except Frank or Bessie, sorry — before Christmas, on the Disney Shopping Website disneyshopping.com and they were ON SALE! Since this was a Disney/Pixar film, why hasn’t anybody else thought to look to Disney for these cars? Yes, I know Disney can be expensive, but there is also a Disney Outlet Website and they often have big sales (up to 75% off) on both Websites. Also, if you buy over a certain amount, you can often get free shipping. I did ALL my Christmas shopping there for 2006, and got free shipping on most of it (and saved the cost of gas driving around — and the holiday crowds, etc.). Sorry I didn’t write any of this information sooner, but just came across this site as I was planning our Route 66 vacation for fall 2007. I don’t know if Disney still has CARS cars, but they may. Good hunting!

  31. LOOKING FOR DISNEY CARS WE HAVE THEM. FROM SERIES 1CHICK HICKS TO CUSTOM FRANKS. MY WIFE AND I HAVE BEEN SELLING DISNEY CARS SINCE NOVEMBER. WE PRIDE OURSELVES ON CUSTOMER SATIFACTION. WE ONLY SHIP PRIORITY MAIL. WE ALSO SHIP INTERNATIONAL.

    HOW ABOUT A MACK TRUCK TRANSPORTER (includes 3 cars)
    HAMM BLUE MATER KING CHICK NITROAD DJ WINGO FILMORE LIZZIE
    WE HAVE ALOT email us susan.cunningham.7@verizon.net

  32. I talked to Mattel this morning. Apparently a “tractor tippin” set was made in February that included a “Frank”, the customer service rep said that they should be hitting the stores soon but she didnt know what name it would be under. It will be a 3 pack of cars. The Mattel product number is L2559. Hope it helps! If anyone finds them please email me, my son is obsessed with Frank!

  33. Hi Camaryn’s Grandma –

    If you read the last several messages, you’ll see that this thread is now about people trying to find a Frank toy, not the rest of the gang. He’s hard to find because no one makes him, including Disney. The messages way up the page about people looking for the other cars are from early/mid 2006 when the movie was just being released.

  34. Vicki – SCORE! Thanks for sharing that fantastic info! I’m going to bookmark a few toy sites and start checking them daily. One day in the next couple of months hopefully Mr Frank will pop up. It is so encouraging that you even got a product number.. that means he’s not just a “maybe will be produced” but “HAS been produced”!

    I’ll post if/when I see any of these sets show up. If anyone else finds them, please do post too 🙂

  35. BOOOO – i found the tractor tipping set at target today. frank is only picture in the cardboard wrapping. No Frank.

  36. I am so disappointed about the tractor tipping set >:(

    However, I see on Ebay, there are some ‘authentic’ mini (2″) PVC Frank’s.. not custom made. They look great, but I’ll have a hard time paying $25 for a 2″ plastic toy, sigh. Anyone know where people are getting these from? There are about 8-10 auctions right now, from several sellers.

    https://cgi.ebay.com/Disney-Pixar-CARs-FRANK-The-Combine-not-a-custom-car_W0QQitemZ160099644102QQcmdZViewItemQQssPageNameZRSS:B:SRCH:US:101

  37. The Frank from the Tractor Tippin’ game doesn’t look much like the ones they are selling on eBay, Jennie. And I seriously doubt Mattel made this, as I’ve found no such product on Mattel’s or other toys Web sites. The workmanship is a tad too shoddy (example: someone messed up the paint job on one of the eyes).

    I can only surmise that someone is custom-making these Franks, which explains the $25 price. When you combine making a toy out of scratch in relatively small quantities and high demand, the prices will be steep.

    For more about the Franks (and lack thereof), go here:

    https://www.route66news.com/2007/02/21/wheres-frank/

  38. They are just taking them out of the Tractor tippin game. They are official disney pixar products but you can get the game for 20 dollars so I wouldn’t pay more then that for it. And it isn’t to the 1:55 scale.

  39. Don’t buy Frank on Ebay!!! My husband purchased a “custom made Frank” and it was a rip-off, broke within minutes of being in my sons hands… then he ordered the 2″ plastic toy and I’m pretty sure its the Frank from the game, it’s small with minimal details and plastic. My son keeps saying that we need to make him bigger!

  40. Disney & Pixar’s Cars – The Toys
    I make an updated Entire Collection Checklist that is very accurate and easy to use. If someone want to have it email me at jeffrey@bijow.com and i’ll send the file.

  41. On the hunt for Bessie and Frank to make my 4yr olds day. Everyday he asks if we can go find Frank. I am glad to see I am not the only parent out there with the Frank dilema…..I keep telling him they don’t make him….he keeps insisting they do, so maybe the toy companies should take heed to what the kiddies all want! 🙂

  42. we are on the hunt for tex! our son has 27 “guys” we saw fred tonight on line and cant wait to find him! We didnt know about Bessie!
    And what about the bull, frank? And bug face McQueen

  43. I want more Filmore stuff! i cant find t-shirts, stuffed animals,… an air freshner would do!

  44. I cannot find the mattel toy Mack any where!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can you show him on-line, please?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

  45. I went in target when it open and found one of each RPM, Nitroade and Dinoco Tex. I have all the basic cars from the movie but still a long way from having them all. Lookin mainly for Bob Cutless, Darrell Cartrip, Dale Jr., Fred and Mario. My kids loves the movie and the cars and I have become addicted to finding for him and no one for my self.

  46. I have seen the RPM car, Tex, Bling McQueen, Crusin Ramone & Tongue McQueen on E-bay. However I have not seen any in the stores. I’m in the stores in the morning and also asking the employees to bring out boxes. All are the same cars we have or seen. Has anyone purchased these in the stores yet?
    Thanks

  47. Last week when I went to toys r us and got the Bling McQueen and the Tongue McQueen. I think they are making it so you will have to keep searching for them by making a limited amount of the hard to find cars.

  48. I went to toy r us last night and found the dinco helicopter w/ mater. Not other diecast cars though. I’m just gald I found one new thing.

  49. Keep your eyes open this Fall. There is new cars being released come fall. 4 packs and 2 packs. I don’t know who they are planning to release, but I hear there are some new ones.

  50. Did Frank come out yet? Has anyone found Yeti? My son has been asking for these for months? I am very upset Mattel is not making these toys for the children.

  51. I just wish that mattel would get the product onto the store shelves.

    i need seven of the single packs to complete my collection.

    i heard they are making a dusty and rusty plus a king and mrs. king movie moment set.

    if anybody can confirm this please put up a post.

  52. This
    seems to be a great source for Cars toys. I’m sure they will update their inventory. You might want to bookmark?

  53. I had the Cars emblem plate that came on a gift bag that my daughters bought for me on my 45th birthday. The bag was filled with some of my new Hot Wheels that I collect. Well I took my new Cars emblem to my office and a few days later it was gone. Some came into my office and took it. Where can I get a new emblem just by itself. Thanks Stan

  54. Who knows if the playsets (Flo’s, Curio shop, Casa Della Tires,Ramones) might be rereleased?!?

  55. Found Bug faced McQueen at my local Toys R Us. I seem to have the most luck there. I also got the dinco helicopter and red wheels Doc. and the new Mack play set.

    Message to James…..I’m not sure if they are bringing back out Flo’s, Ramones, etc playsets. But I have a brand new Flo’s Cafe in the box…never opened it. I paid $25 for it. You can have it from $15 if are interested.

    E-mail me at starlight022181@aol.com

  56. They just released Yeti, Tex, Bling Bling and a few others… I found them at Target. You just need to keep checking I think.

  57. idk if i have dj or wingo or boost but i have sarge and sally and
    mater if somebody wants to come and get em while there
    gone !!!!!!!

  58. Tongue McQueen is now available at Toys R Us in a two pack with the original Lightning McQueen (new Toys R Us Exclusive item called “Movie Doubles”). Both are in a really cool package and the item is only available at Toys R Us. If you go to the toysrus.com website and type in “CARS” and hit “Search” you will find it. The full assortment includes: Tongue McQueen/Lightning McQueen, Old Mater/New Mater, Red Ramone/Purple Ramone, and Doc Hudson/Hudson Hornet. They are very hard to find in stores because they are moving quick. But, you can pre-order them now on the site.

  59. Anyone else having there local stores pull all of the diecast cars off the shelf because of the recall? I know it is only Sarge, but Target & Toys R Us as pulled all of them off the shelves. Even the new double packs. They told me they sent everything back to Mattel!
    Now I’m having to spend more $$ for them online. Anyone else having this problem?

  60. The Toys R Us is by me is stocked full. If they are out, ask the store if they have more in the back room. They usually have a lot of inventory in the back room. They just sell so fast they have a hard time filling the shelves. I just saw new Ramones, race cars, Wingo, and even DJ.

  61. Tampa, FL – All of the stores have pulled the toys down here. Target, Wal-Mart, Toys-R-Us, you name it. The single packs can no longer be found.

  62. Hi Anonymous…..I’m in Tampa also. I just went to the Super Wal Mart on Bruce B Downs on Friday (9/7) We found the 2 packs with Mrs the King and the King and the Mia and Tia pack. Also found Bling McQueen , Bug McQueen, Cruisin Ramone & Tex. Try there!
    (Also remember the double packs were hanging up near the bikes-they did not have them hanging up with the other car stuff (atleast they did not when I was there) Good Luck!

  63. Slowly starting to see the single packs back on the shelves at various Wal-Marts and Targets here in Minneapolis. The reason (or at least I was told) that they had to pull all of them instead of just Sarge was that all of the single pack cars have the same SKU. They had no way of flagging just the Sarge car at the register so they pulled them all to be safe.

  64. Hey! For anyone in the Tampa Bay area of Florida just found the 4 new walmart exclusives at the Land O Lakes (in Toy Dept.) & the Bruce B Downs Walmart (up front). Good Luck!

  65. I agree about making Frank the combine. My 5 year old grandson is nuts about the movie plus farm equipment. Why isn’t it in the interest of the toy makers to make Frank……….can’t they see the dollar signs that parent and/or grandparents will pay. Please…..put Frank in production.

  66. Hello, I am from the Netherlands and my 3 year old son is also a huge Cars fan just like me (his mum). We have already collected lots of items, but just like the most of you we are desperately looking for Frank and Bessie. I don’t know why but the kids just seem nuts about these 2. I tried to buy a Frank on e-bay but I am glad that I read these messages before I did. I have a contact here in the Netherlands that gets the cars directly from the USA. I just got the first 4 Walmart exclusives (Ghostlight Ramone, Cactus Mc Queen, Lightyear Blimp and the best according to my son: TJ Hummer). The next 3 or 4 (Tori Kurbowitz, Barney Stormin and Bruiser Bukowski) will be here soon. So they should also be in the Walmart stores in the USA. He also told me that Frank is on release for 2008, so there is still hope for all of us…..

  67. You can find the CARS Mega Mack playset with 3 cars on toysrus.com (currently on sale $5 off). They also have another CARS Mack playset which is a smaller version. Both are fun sets to play with but my son loves the Mega Mack.

    They also have the Piston Cup with 4 Cars, Mountain Challenge and the hard to find CARS Flo’s V8, which are all exclusively sold only at Toys R Us.

    I can’t wait to get Frank the combine either!

  68. We are also on the hunt for the new ones. I have some extra TJ, Blimp, Ghostlight Ramone, Bob Cutlass, Kori Turbowitz, Airplane, Piston cup Pace car. We are in search of #8, Mrs. & Mrs. the King, Mia & Tia. I’d be willing to trade anyone who finds those.

  69. Hi All,

    This is my first post. First saw the CARS diecast playsets [4 part set] and thought I might like that for a Christmas trainset, turned back around months later and wondered where they went? So, the hunt began. Thank God I found 3 of the 4 pretty quickly but I am wondering why I have no clue where the 4th could be? And I’m thinking maybe I am not hip to an “exclusive” ??? So, I might be looking in the wrong place.

    I have FLO’S, RAMONE’S, and LUIGI’S. But have yet to see TILLY’S Curio Shop anywhere. Is it an exclusive?

    Thanks,

    Mark

  70. Hi! Guys, I’m from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and have been a Cars collector, type Opener. Glad that they are so many people who like Cars.

    Its not easy for me to get Cars in Malaysia, especially release like WalMart exclusive (we have no Walmarts here). Thank to Ebay I am still able to catch up with all the cars being released.

    However it’s shocked/surprised to know about the Blu-Ray Lightning Dinoco McQueen. Looks like I need to pay more than $40 (about RM140, price of 120 cans of coke) to get it.

    Anyway, Cars is indeed a great collections to own, despite some of the disappointments like the out-of-scale dinoco helicopter, blimps and biplane..

  71. I made an updated Entire Collection Checklist that is very accurate and easy to use. This is the original Cars checklist: “The Checklist” by Jeffrey Seda. If someone want to have it email me at jeffrey@bijow.com and i’ll send the file.

  72. i just heard about this place i had no idea that this many people liked cars it is just so amazing.I seeking for fred, sheriff and lizzy

    i just need to get those 3 soon.

  73. just spoke to matell – no plans to make frank yet – maybe if people start calling – and calling and calling some more…

  74. never saw cars the movie till about a month ago. now my son has all the die cast cars except for FRANK and BESSIE…i gotta laugh that i am not the only wacko parent searching for these two…lol…i am so happy i am not alone…

  75. my little cousin has nearly all of the figures the only one he doesnt has is the combine harvester (frank) does any one know where i can gewt a hold of one for him

  76. Anyone know where to get Frank or the Tip-n-Toot tractor in New Zealand? Also a Cars colouring book with Frank and the tractors in it.

    Thank you.

  77. I am looking for Frank. I can not find him anywhere. I 4 yr old loves him and he is really wanting him. Has anyone found one yet?

  78. I am looking for a Bessie to complete my sons mack playtown (it has been lost!) any ideas where I could buy this without buying the entire playtown?

  79. My grandson and I love “Cars” and we are addicted. He is 4and 1/2 and he wants a Frank sooooooo bad, he even doesn’t care if he is a ;real Frank’. Why don’t the manufactures put these out at a resonable price?

  80. Where’s Bessie? Anyone know if they’ve come out with a Bessie without buying the whole Playtown? I’ve heard the Playtown is a junk toy. If I could find a Bessie for my grandson, I’d be Papa of the Year!

    1. George, Bessie was made as a separate toy, like the others. However, Mattel didn’t make many of them, and they are rare. I would suggest buying from eBay.
