Monster Truck Mater

The new Cars Toon “Monster Truck Mater” will premiere on the Disney Channel on July 30th at 9:30 PM (via Pixar Planet.) It is directed by John Lasseter himself. Here is the official synopsis.

Mater is a professional wrestler who works his way up the ranks from amateur to World Champion Monster Truck Wrestler, wrestling all kinds of characters along the way. When faced with his biggest opponent yet, Mater tags in his “tag team partner,” Frightening McMean.

Set your DVR’s now because this is sure to be another hilarious short! Also, there are toys on the way, which you knew there would be. Watch the rest of the Cars Toons on the official Disney Cars YouTube Channel.

Artie looks a lot like, could it be, Snot Rod maybe? More reuse. Something we will continue to see as Mattel finishes up the line.

Artie is #149. Here is Artie’s bio from the Pixar Wiki.

Artie started covering local sporting events back in Wilmington, Delaware, but caught the attention of Racing Sports Network executives with his ability to not just cover the race, but the story of the race as well. Artie likes to say, “If there’s a story out there, I’m just trying to cover it.

Good news, Final Lap Artie is part of the most recent series which is showing up at Targets in the US now. Click here to search for Artie on eBay.

Final Lap Bert

Here is a look at the upcoming Final Lap Bert carded.

Notice the reuse here. Final Lap Bert appears to have the same sculpt as Final Lap Marty.

Bert is #147. Here is Bert’s bio from the Pixar Wiki.

Someday, when Bert finds a gallery that understands his abstract motion-blur photography, he’ll be recognized as the true artist he really is. In the meantime though, it’s his job as paparazzo that pays the bills. And yes paparazzo is the singular use for paparazzi, and yes it means oversize mosquito in Italian.

Good news, Final Lap Bert is part of the most recent series which is showing up at Targets in the US now. Click here to search for Bert on eBay.

Mathew “True Blue” McCrew has been a King fan from the first time he came off the production line. In fact, everything in Mathew’s house is painted King Blue, including the light bulbs. Because for Mathew, being a King fan isn’t reserved for race day, it’s a way of life.

Marty is #151. Here is Marty’s bio from the Pixar Wiki.

Marty doesn’t feel alive unless he’s got something to worry about. Whether it’s his receding tire treads, politics, the teenagers next door, fossil fuel running out one day, or the general state of the world, Marty is only truly happy when he’s miserable.

Final Lap Marty is only out overseas but presumably will be in the US shortly. Click here to search for this on eBay.

Final Lap Marlon “Clutches” McKay

Update: I just realized that this is the 300th post on Cars Toys Blog. This is a huge milestone, and I just want to say thanks to the readers! You guys are the reason the site exists, and I just want to thank each and every one of you for making it possible. Thanks!

Here is a look at the upcoming Final Lap Marlon “Clutches” McKay.

Final Lap Marlon Clutches McKay

Here is Marlon’s bio from the Pixar Wiki.

When you’re cornered by a mob of fierce paparazzi, there’s none better to call than Marlon “Clutches” McKay. A twenty year service veteran whose time was spent largely as an armored troop carrier, Marlon traded in his bulletproof glass to pursue his dream of becoming a Motor Speedway of the South Security Team Leader. He loves nothing better than locking grilles with nosy camera sidecars and personally showing them the exit.

Marlon with moving eyes is out now, but the Final Lap version is out overseas and presumably will be in the US shortly. Click here to search for this on eBay.

Kmart Cars Collector Event 2010 Update

As you may already know, the Kmart Cars Collector Event 2010 is being held in Kmarts across the US on June 12th at 11 AM. Yesterday, I posted about the Kmart.com pre-sale and the details of the case that will be offered. Here is a recap for those of you planning on going to the event.

There will be 8 Piston Cup racers featuring the synthetic rubber tires. There are 24 Cars in the case. The rest of the assortment will be lenticular Cars. The case breakdown is available on the previous post as well.

The way previous Kmart events have gone is there is a line formed where each person gets to come up and open a case and get what they want out of it. Then the next person has a turn until all the cases have been opened. There hasn’t been enough attendance at any of the events I have been to, to cause any sort of a problem at all. But your mileage may vary.

Here is a flyer for the event.
