Just a couple months back, Disney/Pixar and Mattel released this unique 1:55 scale "RS Team Lightning Mcqueen" - only available at Target stores. This is an absolutely fantastic collector's item, meant for adult collectors such as myself, and I couldn't be happier with it!
This version of Lightning Mcqueen features a metallic paintjob/finish and is housed in a quality special edition acrylic display case "for safely storing and proudly displaying." It retails for $14.00.
The display case easily pops right out of the cardboard packaging. Simply snip the plastic band on the top holding it in place with some scissors and you're good to go; no need to destroy the outer box if you're wanting to keep it intact.
The top portion of the case also comes off easily (just give it a decent tug), however, Mcqueen is screwed into the base of the display case. A screwdriver is required if you're looking to take him out of the case completely. For me, I'm just going to keep him in the case as is, since I got this for display purposes only.
If one was to take out Mcqueen for play, he does function just as a standard Mattel diecast (rolling wheels, same size, same weight, etc.).
When this was released, I honestly had no idea about it. My good friends T.J. and Julie (from over at PixarPost.com) sent me a message one day asking me if I wanted them to pick one up for me and, once I saw it, I couldn't resist! I was really surprised that I had no idea about it. Once again, a very big thanks to them for always being so incredibly thoughtful towards me and for being so supportive of my collection.
While they found this at their local Target store, I have yet to see it show up at mine after all this time. I did some digging and found out this is technically an online exclusive and is "not sold in stores" (according to Target.com), so it's indeed interesting that they found it at there's. Keep a look out though as it just might show up in stores for you as it did for them.
