Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Turbo Chunk is the hardest to find of the 8 Hot Wheels Toy Story 3 character cars and therefore due to supply and demand the most expensive to obtain from online auctions and sellers. I'm guessing there's only one or two of these in a shipment box sent to stores with obviously the majority being for the more popular characters Wheelin' Woody, Rex Rider and Blastin Buzz. When you see the Turbo Chunk vehicle in the flesh (well metal) you can sort of understand why Mattel didn't have confidence to take the gamble of producing a lot of these things and hoping people would buy them. It's pretty much just a light orange semi truck without a trailer.
The only thing that links it at all to the toy character in the movie, besides the colour I guess, is the stalagmite type bumps on the roof of the cab. That's it nothing else. They could have at the very least put the stomach face thing from the character on the front grill of the truck. All that's there is a shiny reflective rectangle that's the same material they put in the windshield and side windows and what they made the engine out of. His arms with the distinctive hands could have extended backwards behind the cab maybe palms open where the rear wheel is. Really there's a lot of things that could have happened in the design faze. It's almost like they had decided and designed the other seven vehicles and then someone said, well you know we really should have eight vehicles and with no time left to design anything someone just grabbed a truck, said "Let's just paint it orange and put some triangles on the roof and pass it off as this character".
With nothing really identifying this vehicle as the character you've pretty much got to leave it in the packaging so people know what it is. The packaging isn't designed to be able to be opened without being destroyed, which is another negative for this item. Unless you absolutely have to collect every car in the series, I'd give this one a miss, especially if you can't get it for more than a few dollars.
