Disney planes

[Cars4josh]

Anybody have an idea when the planes merchandise is going to hit stores?!! My wife constantly is on my case about buying all these cars and going out "hunting" all the time so I swore I'd get maybe a few and that's that. Well she just send me two trailers of the movie and is showing me pics from google and actually is talking about cars ( well really planes) with me and seems all about it. That's great news for me maybe ill have a " hunting partner" and the boys wins too....... I wasn't going to but I guess I am now time will tell!!!

Arturo and his Pitty are getting released, as well as Ishani and her Pitty. Have not heard about Skipper and Sparky, though.

odisn - I have only seen a Ripslinger Tent and Ishani Tent set on Take 5 - Haven't seen Skipper but I so would love sparky!

It's buy one, get the 2nd half price on all 'Planes' toys in Toys R Us UK.

I've searched, to no avail, but does anyone know any of the upcoming tent/pitty sets? I'm holding off on Skipper as a single, because I'm hoping Sparky & him get released as a set. Sparky & Dottie are the only pitties that my kids have actively asked for.

toys are 3 for 2 in argos, so at 5.59 each that aint bad, was tempted but didnt bite
went round til disney, they had the bulldog/isani twin pack, very nice too and much better than the mattel versions, was very tempted , but again didnt bite, but it was a close run thing

Doing some moseying earlier about Planes and came across a couple of interesting snippets, not sure if anyone here were aware, apologies if you did.

The Planes sequel, Planes 2: Fire and Rescue, is slated for release in July 2014.

There seems that there will be 2 Blimp Characters, Colin Cowling and Lofty Crofty, at least Al Oft will get some company now

Echo and Bravo, voiced by former Top Gun Duo, Val Kilmer (Iceman) and Anthony Edwards (Goose), have identical helmets to their former film, the only difference being that, on thier helmets, instead of their callsigns in Topgun, they have Bravo and Echo respectively, nice lil touch i thought.

Thanks Enzo! It does seem odd they do not want to do the Acrylic cases over the pond and only here in the States ... I just don't get that ... but then again, there are a lot of things I just don't get about Disney ... or Mattel for that matter

I could have sworn you were about to say...."a lot of things I just don't get about the UK"

It is odd but also frustrating as not only do we not get those lovely collector stackable boxes (which cost more than cheap crappy blister packs) but we have to suffer the curse of the 2-pack when invariably you only want one of the pair.

And they often switch round pairs with no logic between series, which is a massive pain. The only packs that I can recall being really great value were Rod/Ivan, Flo/Ramone and Metallic Rescue Mater/Matte Sheriff. Although HRH Queen/Wheeliam has been reissued again which is nice.

Seems to be the same curse with Planes too. However, if they produce Bravo & Echo as a 2-pack (far too logical) I think I'll faint with shock harder than Luigi meeting Schumacher.

Very nice 2 pack! Are they the same size as the ones in the Plastic Cases?? Do they appear to be metal or plastic?? I am REALLY ready for some planes to start hitting the pegs near me ... getting that itch to reach for my wallet lol

Jeff, exactly as with DS Cars, these Planes will be identical to the US releases (metal diecast at larger scale than Mattel) just packaged in 2-pack (cheap) blisters as opposed to singles in acrylic boxes.

I was only going to collect the Mattel versions for the pure reason that they are smaller and easier to store. But I saw these in the Disney Store for the first time today and couldn't resist!! The selection on offer was: Bulldog & Ishani, El Chupacabra & Rochelle, Dustycrophopper & Skipper and these guys, Racing Dusty & Ripslinger.

skipper is a must have for me
the rest I will have to see what they look like in person

[cac1959]

I like... I like both the Mattel version and the Disney Store version... I won't collect every character in both Mattel and Disney Store... maybe a few of them.

Many thanks for sharing your photos, DaFickser!
