“It contains a model of Mater in one of the disguises he tried out in Cars 2. Ivan is the personal tow-truck to the head lemon, Professor Zündapp who is kidnapped by Holley Shiftwell and then impersonated by Mater so he may get in to the lemon crime meeting.”

“It’s a decent impulse if you were one of the people that liked Cars 2, or your kids really have a hankering for Mater (though from what I’ve seen, Cars is all about Lightning, which is why Cars 2 under-performed). Â It’s simple and cheap. If you thought Classic Mater was... More worth $7, Ivan Mater probably is too. And unlike the classic, this version isn’t stuck into half the sets.”
