this whole article just summons what I thought in my mind, I even put my Emmanuel behind my Mater and sadly frowned. http://www.takefiveaday.com/2014/03/...-versus-metal/

No. I'm happy with him. He scales fine with the Double Decker bus and he needed to be that size to still be able to sell at that price point.

He may scale well with the Double Decker bus, but not with Mater who was directly next to Emmanuel in the movie. So I wish Emmanuel was bigger since in the movie he is HUGE compared to Mater, but on the die-cast Mater is about the same height as Emmanuel.RBCars77 check out my YouTube Channel @ RCcars5

And for those of you who are relatively new to collecting, prices on a lot of the Cars items have increased over the years... For example, launchers that originally cost $6.99 are now $12.99... Haulers that were originally $11.99 are $14.99 (but were higher at certain stores)... a Deluxe that's the size of a hauler for $15 isn't as bad as a Deluxe Mater with a tray (Waiter Mater) at $8.99.

When he was first being sold by backdoors, I thought he'd be in a Target 4-pack, Emmanuel, Mater, Holley, And some random throw-in.

I have a hard time being too critical of this one. Emmanuel just looks too good and I think that the perspective on his scene in Cars 2 makes him appear a little larger than he is. I'm guessing he should probably be about 1 1/2 maters tall, but the scene's angle makes it look like he's twice as tall. I have a harder time with Mach's Matsuo's scale. For some reason the cars that are too big bug me more than the ones that are too small.
