Mattel Disney and Pixar Cars Toys, Color Changers 3-Pack Vehicles with Lightning McQueen, Mater & Jackson Storm Toy Cars

Seldom have I seen a toy so loved and played with as these color-changing Cars.My 3 year old, who loves Disney Cars, received the green-purple color changing Mater as a Christmas gift. The rest of the world ceased to exist for him as he sat blissfully at the table, watching it change color as he dipped it alternately in cups of hot and cold water. Tragically, in the chaos of all the family and Christmas activities, the Mater was lost. My son was devastated. There were no more to be found in the stores, except for those that were way over priced online.Enter this 3 pack, which not only has the original Mater that he lost, but a lightning McQueen, always a hit, and my personal favorite, the impressive blue to black Jackson Storm. They go everywhere with my son, in the car, in the bath, in bed.If you have a Cars loving child, I highly recommend these toys that provide hours of entertainment. These are inexpensive toys that bring endless joy, and make great gifts.8/5/24 Updating to add:My son now has 6 color changers and they remain some of his favorite toys. With time, however, these do appear to stop working, partially or almost fully. From other reviews it seems that some don’t work right out of the package, but that seems to be a rarity. 3 cars (all purchased at different times) all suspiciously stopped working as well as they did when first opened. The color change effect to hot wouldn’t go all the way, and when just at room temperature, take on this “in between” color. Cold seemed to work, just not the hot color. For example, one of the ones this happened to was Jackson storm. When cold, he turns black. When hot, blue. At room temperature, he now remains a grayish blue. My theory is that these cars’ color changing ability is damaged if exposed to too much heat. Left out in the sun, or if dipped in water that’s just a bit too hot. I suspect the latter was what happened here. For this reason, keep water below 110F to keep these cars changing better for longer.

The media could not be loaded. My son loves it with this fun color changing technology. Never get tired of playing! It likes the first day every time! So recommended

Great quality. It clearly says on the packaging that to avoid items losing their ability to change their colors you should avoid using extreme temperatures. Initially I thought their color was the “cold” color, so I applied really hot water, not boiling but so warm that felt uncomfortable to soak my fingers. Nothing happened, then I took the second look on the packaging and realized that actually I should apply cold at this stage. Just tap water with some ice cubes added did the wonder.Use lukewarm water for warm, and ice water for cold, even rubbing an ice cube on the surface works.

Excelente articulo le encantan a mi hijo

My son is car/truck/any vehicle obsessed and has recently discovered color changing vehicles. He loves playing with these! I set him up with a bowl of each warm and cold water w/ ice cubes and that will keep him busy for at least 45 minutes or so! Also the colors on these change so instantly! Which he loves, sometimes the other brands don’t change as easily or dramatically.

These cars are cute and my grandson loves them because the are the car’s characters however once they changed color in hot water they never changed back to original color. Thought it would be fun for him to watch change back and forth but nope.

Bought this set for my son's 3rd birthday because he loves Cars. I thought they would be fun for bath times and they definitely make it easy to coax him in for a bath. He plays with them wet and dry and puts them to the test. They are holding up well with some small scratches and scuffs that I world expect to see. They color change just like the product pictures... you need REALLY cold water for one end of spectrum and warm will do it for the other. They will stay the color you dip them in (warm or cold) until you dip them in the opposite temperature, or you can partial dip or "finger paint" patterns. You can even just hold them in your hand for awhile to warm them to change color. We have alot of fun with them at bath time, he loves them. Great gift, glad I purchased it. Will be buying the firetruck stunt set with lightning McQueen too... it changes different colors than the one in this set.

My kids LOVE to play with water and these cars are perfect for that. The water doesn't need to be too hot or cold for the cars to change. It's the perfect activity to keep them occupied and happy for a long time! We will be expanding our collection very soon!
