The latest Mater’s Tall Tales Cars Toon short to air on the Disney Channel is Heavy Metal Mater. Somehow I missed that it first aired on Friday night. But if you missed it like I did, it is airing again on the Disney Channel on Sunday night at 9:50 PM ET and Monday night at 7:55 PM ET. That is for my area only, so be sure and check your local listings.
Here is our gallery of Heavy Metal Mater toys from Comic Con.
Here are all the details I have right now. It seems they have leaked because the Kmart Cars are showing up overseas. The next Kmart Cars Collector Day is on October 23rd, 2010. Kmart will continue to sell the rubber tire Piston Cup racers with one lenticular Chase Car. Here is the list.

Gask-Its

Faux Wheel Drive

I will post when I have more details.
Did you know that El Materdor is the only Cars short that does not have single carded diecast released yet? Strange that it is one of the first 3 to air and that the Cars Toon shorts that have recently aired already have diecast released. Even stranger that we first saw prototypes over a year ago at Comic Con in 2009. Here is the gallery to refresh your memory.
El Materdor
El Materdor Bulldozer Chuy
El Materdor Padre
I have seen a carded El Materdor recently on eBay, but I don’t think they have been released in the US. I thought I saw Padre carded on eBay before, but that may not have been in the US either.
Does anyone know if these have been released overseas and if they are coming to the US or why they were held back?
Here is a quick round up of new Cars you may already be seeing or will soon be seeing in your area. I, of course, have not seen any of these Cars myself, except for Lightning McQueen with Shovel. There seem to be lots of new Cars Toon Cars showing up, but definitely not in my area.
Tokyo Mater
Unidentified Flying Mater
Monster Truck Mater
Mega Size
Final Lap
We all hoped for this, and now it is finally coming. On November 2, 2010, Disney will release Mater’s Tall Tales on DVD. It will be available as a two disc Blu-Ray/DVD Combo pack, but I would imagine it will probably be on DVD by itself, as well. Retail on the Blu-ray Combo pack is $29.99, but Amazon has it available for pre-order for $19.99.
Cars Toon: Mater's Tall Tales
In addition to having all the shorts, including Heavy Metal Mater which may or may not have aired before then, there are 2 yet-to-be-aired shorts available, Mater Private Eye and Moon Mater. Here is the description.
Rev up your engines for this unforgettable collection of Cars Toons starring Mater, the lovable and hilarious tow truck from the hit movie Cars. From the creative minds of Disney/Pixar come nine highly entertaining “Tall Tales” involving bullfights, drag races, rock concerts, monster truck showdowns and even UFOs – plus, check out the new, exclusive, never-before-seen Cars Toons Mater Private Eye and Moon Mater.
Wrapping up the Comic Con coverage from this year is another upcoming Cars Toon, Heavy Metal Mater. I think it is safe to say Mattel is going to push these pretty hard. Let’s hope they can actually make it to stores, as many of the others from this line haven’t seen great distribution.
