Brand new for 2015, here we have this fantastic Mattel 1:55 scale 3-pack featuring Mater (with Allinol Cans), Edamame Tsashimi and Daisu Tsashimi! This release are part of this year's "Tokyo Party" sub-series (#s 7&8 / 10).
As shown in the screen shot above, Mater appears this way in Cars 2 (excited expression, back full of Allinol cans) during the Tokyo party scene when he ventures off to find some free food. He comes across some sushi chefs- Edamame and Daisu Tsashimi- when he pleads for a big scoop of wasabi (mistaking it for pistachio ice cream). A hilarious scene!
I have been looking forward to (well, hoping for) the Mattel release of these sushi chefs for a long time. It's such a memorable scene in the film, so I knew these pitties would be coming around eventually! They turned out great too. I love the film accurate details such as their bandanas, facial expressions, knives and the little bowl of wasabi that Daisu is holding.
I honestly never thought of releasing a Mater with a back full of Allinol cans before, but it's actually a perfect addition to this pack! It's a fun new version of Mater with great detail and a film accurate expression. Now you can create the whole scene accurately with your diecasts.
Here's to hoping a "Wasabi Tongue" diecast Mater gets a single pack release soon!
I found these at my local Target just a week or two ago, so be sure to check your local stores for availability. If you'd rather just snag this release online, check out eBay HERE
