Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is one of the most well done of all the 1/64 (standard Matchbox, Hot Wheels, Johnny Lightning sized) Disney Racers. The vehicle represents Donald, well a mean looking Donald well. A lot of the Disney Racers don't resemble their character that much at all, but with this one the designers did a good job.
The vehicle is basically gold coloured on the sides and front to represent Donald's beak. For some reason they decided to put fog lights on the front., maybe Donald's supposed to have a cold. The top is white to represent his feathered face. For some reason they put a blue rectangle in between his eyes, car probably would have looked better without it. Definitely would have looked better without the number 2 in a yellow circle on the bonnet (hood). The Mickey Mouse car has a 1 on it so that why Donald is 2. Don't know what they were thinking adding that, except maybe it fits under the Disney Racer brand and in cartoons racing cars usually have numbers on them, but thankfully they discontinued that for the other 56 remaining cars in the series and didn't do it all for the Star Wars ones. The car has silver triangles on the sides to represent Donald's eyes, I would have gone with light blue like on the image on the front of the blister pack. The packaging by the way is your usual blister pack with a cardboard backing and clear blister glued onto the front. You can see it in my customer imagery. You do have to destroy the packaging to get the car out. On the cardboard the Disneyland and Disneyworld logos are present along with a large Disney Racers with chequered flags logo. The rear of the car is blue and there is a blue spoiler outlined in yellow which maybe represents a shirt collar. I would have turned it around and made it his hat like the image on the blister pack. the undercarriage is black along with the wheels which have silver hubcaps. Although I did outline some criticisms above, I do think it is a pretty cool looking vehicle and a must for any TV/Movie die-cast vehicle collector.
You can't actually buy the Disney Racer cars in retail stores where you find Matchbox and the other brands of cars (except second hand merchandise stores). They are designed and made by a company called Disney Theme Park Merchandise, so you find them in their theme parks around the world along with other must visit the park to get merchandise. You can find a few in their theme park's online gift shop store, here on Amazon and on online auction sites if you're not planning on visiting one of the parks. Obviously due to the fact you can't get them in physical stores results in the online prices being pretty expensive online compared to similar cars such as the Hot Wheels or Matchbox's various creature cars from their mass produced range, Hot Wheels various Toy Story character vehicles or Johnny Lightning's Creepsters. However if your patient they do come up at affordable prices online every now and then.
