We knew this was going to happen, but sharp-eyed reader Jennifer pointed out in this comment that a slew of new die-cast toys from last summer’s Disney-Pixar hit, “Cars,” is coming out soon.
RPMdiecast.com is taking pre-orders for these “Cars” characters, a few of which are shipping in June or July; others have no release date listed except for “coming soon 2007”:
- No. 64 race car

- Cruisin’ McQueen (this is the Radiator Springs-repainted Lightning McQueen with whitewall tires)
- Dale Earnhart Jr. car
- Dinoco-colored Chick Hicks
- Dinoco Tex
- The Ferrari F430
- The rusty Fred truck
- Hydraulic Ramone

- Mario Andretti
- Red and white Ramone

- Yeti
- Change-up McQueen (give Lightning McQueen your own Radiator Springs makeover)
- Dinoco helicopter

No Frank the combine, however.
The streamlined locomotive that almost hit McQueen would sure be nice to have in diecast.
It would be great to have a minichure lit-up version of ratiator springs, wouldnt it?
