Disney Pixar Cars 2 Rod Torque Redline Delta Police Variant Appraisal

Disney Pixar Cars 2 Rod 'Torque' Redline - Delta Police Variant

This is a die-cast toy vehicle character from the Disney Pixar 'Cars' franchise, specifically identified as Rod 'Torque' Redline disguised in his blue police officer undercover uniform. The item is constructed primarily of die-cast metal with plastic components, including a translucent plastic emergency light bar on the roof, side-mounted spotlights, and a front push bumper (bull bar). The primary color is a vibrant blue with white roof accents and black trim. The character's 'eyes' are visible on the windshield, which is a hallmark of the franchise's design. This model appears to be approximately 1:55 scale, typical for Mattel's collectors' line. Regarding condition, the piece shows significant play-wear and surface fatigue. There is visible paint chipping and loss along the front hood leading edge, the front fender corners, and the edges of the roof. Dust accumulation is present on the surface, and the plastic front bumper shows minor scuffing. While functionally intact, the item is in 'well-loved' or 'fair' condition rather than 'mint'. These models were primarily manufactured between 2011 and 2013 following the release of Cars 2. The craftsmanship features the standard robust assembly of Mattel's die-cast line, designed for both durability during play and accurate cinematic representation.
