Last week, Disney unveiled their new Cars 2 toy line at the American International Toy Fair in New York City. Disney will release over 300 items in 2011, ranging from die-cast cars to track sets to RC vehicles to games from manufacturers that include Mattel, LEGO and Hasbro.
Actors Michael Caine and Emily Mortimer, who voice British super spies Finn McMissile and Holley Shiftwell in Cars 2, were on hand to show off some new toys and talk about their work on the film:
Mattel demoed Lightning McQueen Alive, a 1:55 scale car that uses touch sensors and micro technology to emulate the look, sounds and actions of its on-screen character, a new concept for a toy of such small size (video courtesy Disney Living):
Lightning McQueen Alive will be released this fall.
