Just released from Mattel, here we have their newest collection of 1:55 scale plastic Disney·Pixar Cars characters..."Wheel Action Drivers"! With the press of a button, watch as each car has a unique "popping action" movement; a fun way to bring even more life and imaginative play to your Cars collection.
Here I have Lightning Mcqueen and Ramone, but there are a bunch of other characters out there to collect as well! Doc Hudson, Sarge, Sheriff, Mater, Red and Mack, as well as a "Race and Win" playset", are also available (some seen on the back of the packaging below).
Each car essentially has "two actions in one." For example, press down on his back and Ramone's body lifts at the same time his front wheels pop out on either side. As far as Mcqueen, he sticks out his tongue and has a similar simultaneous wheel popping movement.
This is a fun collection that especially young Cars fans/collectors will enjoy! It reminds me a lot Mattel's line of "Quick Changer" plastic cars that was introduced a few years back with Cars 2. You can find these currently at Walmart, Toys R Us, Target, Amazon (direct links below) or wherever Disney·Pixar Cars toys are sold (retail is around $5.99).
Last but not least, a huge thanks to Mattel for sending these over to review! Really fun stuff. Look for more right here soon, including a brief video of these in action.
Stay tuned and happy hunting!
UPDATE 10/11/16-
I just added the "Wheel Action Driver" Mater to my collection! Though I tried to resist (since I hardly need yet another Mater), I couldn't help but snag this one. I can't have the Wheel Action Mcqueen without his best bud to bump tires with! I just really like the "wheel popping" action and how they move just like in the films. Now they can practice their best friend handshake (or...tireshake?) as seen in Cars 2.
Once again, this Mater has two simultaneous actions in one when you press down on his back. In addition to Mater's popping tires, his engine swivels as well. I like it!
