A big subset of the Cars making their debut at Comic Con this year was all the new Piston Cup Racers Mattel had on display. I suspect a lot of these are just repaints, so in a way it’s not that surprising. Update: After doing a little research, I learned that most of these are repaints of Nitroade and Leakless, and the majority are repaints of Nitroade.
Here is my list by car number.
- 8 (Dale Jr.)
- 61
- 117
- 35
- 123 (red)
- 123 (orange)
- 70
- 51
- 80
- 84 (Apple Car)
- 78
- 36
- 101
- 63
- 73
- 82
- 92
- 76
- 93
- 79
- 90
- 4
- 33
I just hope Mattel makes these widely available to collectors. Given their bad distribution record in the past, that doesn’t seem likely. Here is a link to a photo gallery on Michael Crawford’s web site and on figures.com of the Mattel Cars display at SDCC.
