About Cars

The Cars 2 figures are not minifigures but the cars themselves, small vehicles built around printed windscreen eyes and mouths so each car has its face from the film. Lightning McQueen and Mater appear in several versions, Mater with a parachute or a headset, and the spy story of the film brought Finn McMissile with his water skis and wings. The racers include Francesco Bernoulli and Jeff Gorvette, and the villains are Professor Zundapp, Grem, Acer and Petrov Trunkov. Luigi and Guido from the pit crew, the fire truck Red, the Queen and the ships and cranes of the oil rig fill out the cast.
