When I read ToyFare #133 this month, I was surprised to see almost a full page dedicated to new Cars. The article contains pictures of White Wall Lightning McQueen, Kathy Copter, Leroy Traffik, Roman Dunes (No Stall Crew Chief) and Petrol Pulaski.
White Wall Lightning McQueen
Leroy Traffik
It lists a release date of August. Here’s what the article says about the upcoming Cars.
Mattel’s releasing another line of die-cast Cars characters, including a bumper sticker-covered Lightning McQueen, Kathy Copter, Leroy Traffik, Petrol Pulaski, Roman Dunes, Tar Covered Lightning and Stacy with Leak Less accessories.
That’s right, in addition to everything else, the article mentions a bumper sticker-covered Lightning McQueen, although I’m not sure whether this is the same as the White Wall McQueen pictured or not. I had previously heard rumors of the bumper sticker McQueen, but it has been said that this is supposed to be a chase variant. Here’s hoping that it is not. I’m not sure whether or not Mattel has officially commented on it yet.
Roman Dunes, Leroy Traffik and Lightning McQueen are all scheduled in the upcoming case R, which will be for sale at San Diego Comic Con along with case P.
