Color Changers Cars

Color Changers are 1:55 scale Disney Pixar Cars toys made by Mattel. Color Changers are model cars of popular characters from the Cars and Cars 2 movies. These color shifting cars are plastic and change colors when placed in hot or cold water. Mattel no longer is making Color Changers and thus they are very hard to find. The Cars 2 Color Changers were sold at Toys R' Us exclusively and were pronounced End of Life / End of Line in summer 2011. Where can you buy Cars Color Changers now? The best place for used and new Color Changers is eBay. You can also buy new Color Changers on Amazon. Mattel released several Color Changers Cars in individual packages, 2 packs and in play sets. For both Cars and Cars 2 Pixar and Mattel released Ramone's House of Body Art Color Changers playset. The playset included a replica of Ramone's paint shop and a Ramone Color Changer. For Cars 2 they released Color Changers Color Splash Speedway which included the play set and a color changer Finn McMissile. The Color Changers cars are very fun to play with because they have 2 paint jobs in 1 car!!! All you need is water to play with them as well. Disney Pixar Cars that were made into Color Changers cars include: Lightning McQueen, Mater, Snot Rod, DJ, Boost, Wingo, Dinoco Chick Hicks, Dinoco Lightning McQueen, Darrel Cartrip, Doc Hudson, Radiator Springs Lightning McQueen, Ramone, Red, Sarge, Sheriff, Finn McMissile, Raoul Caroule and Francesco Bernulli.

Tex Dinoco Color Changers Car and My Entire Color Changers Cars Collection


Here is my son's new in box, Tex Dinoco Color Changers car. I bought this car on eBay for a good price. These color changers are no longer being produced and are in high demand. I have contacted Mattel to see if they will make a new line of color changers cars or if they will be sending any additional color changers to the stores, but they said the color shifting cars are end of the line. Bummer! They can't release news about new cars though, so I just hope in the next few years they realize that there is high demand for the colour changers cars and bring them back. :-) This color changer Tex Dinoco is from the original Disney Pixar Cars movie. Disney Pixar and Mattel also made and sold color changers for cars 2. I forgot to add my color changer Sarge and color changer Wingo for this movie. I do have them, I just forgot to grab them for the movie.

I am so amazed at how expensive these color changers now are on Amazon. They originally sold in stores for about $5-7. Now on Amazon they are between $10-55 each. Wow! However, you can get the Ramone's House of Body Art playset by Matel on Amazon for $15-17. I found my set at Ross for $10. You can also get the Ramone's set for about $15-20 at ToysRUs. This is a HUGE lot of color changers. My son has played with all of these cars accept Dinoco Tex, so all of his color changers are used. Since color changers are hard to find used or new, you can also buy Hot Wheels Color Shifters, they are much cheaper than the Disney Cars Color Changers.

Mattel's Ramone's Color Change Playset did not get the best of reviews on Amazon.com. However, I personally love the set and so does my 2.5 year old son. We always get it out when he has friends over and it keeps the toddlers busy for hours. Plus, the Disney color changers helped him learn his colors when he was just 18 months old. It was easy for him to see the colors change right in front of him and I think the action of putting the cars from warm water to cold water really helped him understand the color concept. Mattel made color shifting cars for both the original Cars movie and for Cars 2. I just saw last weekend that Toysrus was clearing out their Disney color changing cars. My store was selling the color changer Finn McMissile for about $5.
