Lightning McQueen Alive

This is a very exciting toy release for toy enthusiasts like ourselves because it features innovation like we’ve never seen before in the 1:55 scale! Watch this video so that you can really appreciate what Lightning McQueen Alive is all about.

Description: With a simple touch sensor, everyone‟s favorite Cars racer comes to life with Lightning McQueen Alive. Featuring never before seen innovation in 1:55 scale, Lightning McQueen Alive packs big personality in a small package utilizing cutting-edge micro technology. Ready to interact with kids and collectors, Lightning McQueen can drive around all by himself, both forwards backwards and complete 360s. He can move his eyes, shrug his shoulders and his lifelike moving mouth captures all the on-screen magic as Lightning McQueen Alive says his signature phrases. When Lightning McQueen needs to refuel after a long day‟s play, simply place him back on the included gas station charger to refresh his batteries.

What do you think? We bet you would like to know when this will be available right? Not until Fall of 2011!!!
