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.

Rip Clutchgoneski Die Cast Car Disney Pixar Cars 2 Diecast


Rip Clutchgoneski is from the fictional country of The Republic of Rearendia. Rip Clutchgoneski's World Grand Prix racing number is #10. In Disney Pixar's Cars 2 Rip Clutchgoneski was in third place behind Lightning McQueen and Francesco Bernoulli, when the Lemons Acer and Grem blew up his engine. Rip Clutchgoneski's terrific performance in the Tokyo, Japan race was ruined by those dreaded lemons. The Cars 2 race car, Rip Clutchgoneski, has a similar body to Francesco Bernoulli, which is very similar to a Formula One car, but he does have small fenders above his wheels. Where Francesco Bernoulli has, as Sally says it "open wheels" and "open tires."

I bought this Rip Clutchgoneski on eBay for only $10, I couldn't believe it. The die-cast Rip Clutchgoneski has been sold on eBay and Amazon for around $30-50!!! Yikes. Rip Clutchgoneski is part of the new release 2013 Disney Pixar Cars and Cars 2 diecast toys. You can find the new 2013 Mattel 1:55 scale cars at Target, Wal-Mart, K-Mart and so on, but they are EXTREMELY hard to find right now. So for Rip Clutchgoneski, I'd just suggest buying him online, save your gas. In this video I compare the Mattel 1:55 scale Rip Clutchgoneski to the Disney Store 1:43 scale Rip Clutchgoneski. I also compare Mattel Rip Clutchgoneski diecast to the Mattel Francesco Bernoulli die-cast toys. Later this week I'll make a video of a Rip Clutchgoneski turntable.

Rip's design is reminiscent of Formula One-like production cars, like the Caparo T1. However, he resembles most the little-known New-Zealand super-car Hulme CanAm, of which he bears characteristics elements like its distinctive air dams, wheel covers and boat shaped central body. Hulme's developers reportedly saw this in an unfavorable light and found Rip so similar to their car they considered making a legal action against Disney. However, Rip does differ from the Hulme CanAm by several design elements (F1-like cockpit, different rear end, side vents), and some Caparo T1-derived elements can be spotted. Rip has the Hulme's characteristic orange color (although the Caparo too is frequently presented in orange), and furthermore, concept art reveals he was first designed with black wheel covers, exactly like the Hulme car.
