Tonight I'm taking a look at another Cars 3 1:55 scale diecast from Mattel...Hot Rod Junior Moon! This brand new release just hit shelves a few weeks back and even sports the clean new "blue desert" 2020 packaging. It is part of the "Ramone's Body Shop" sub-series.
Despite what you might think when initially seeing this release, this diecast is actually canon! At first I thought it was totally made up my Mattel, but then realized that Junior Moon IS actually seen with this "hot rod" paint job in Cars 3—during the end credits as shown in the screenshot above. Pretty cool and very subtle! A "hot rod" Smokey was also released in this same case (seen HERE), however that design was never seen in the film and therefore is not canon.
You can find Hot Rod Junior Moon currently at your local Walmart, Target or Amazon using the link below. As usual, happy hunting and let me know your thoughts down in the comments! My question for you is, could a "hot rod" Louise Nash and River Scott be on the way?
