At first, it wasn’t so bad. My son loved the Pixar Cars movie, so when they came out with a nice little Lightning McQueen diecast, and a nice little Tow Mater diecast, it made sense to grab ‘em.
He carried those two cars around everywhere; clutched tightly in his little hands. He loved them. So we didn’t think twice when they came out with the menacing Chick Hicks, or the Doc Hudson car. I mean, he was so into them, he had to have the whole set, right?
Whoa. The King. Red the fire truck. Fillmore. Sally. They sure were doing a good job covering the main characters. He could have a 1:60th-scale recreation of the most memorable scenes in the movie.
No, we don’t need that one—we’ve already got Lightning McQueen. Wait—that McQueen looks like he’s been on the dirt track. And that one is painted blue like in the dream sequence in the movie. And that one has its tongue sticking out. And that one has googly eyes.
