Here are the 5 top-pick categories that have been the hottest selling and most asked for by Cars 2 kids in the U.S.
Favorite Cars 2 Movie Characters
Beating the competition by a car-length, Ol' Mater wins the most-wanted Cars 2 character, kids love his personality, and the range of Ol' Mater toys goes from beat-up jalopy to souped-up tow truck. Second place is held by Lightning McQueen, the sleek and fast race car with an attitude that kids love to mimic. Finishing as the third most favorite character, but only by a bumper, is Finn McMissle, a suave gadget loaded James Bond-type who saves the day more than once.
Die-Cast Cars and Trucks - The Top Cars 2 Toy Category
Die-cast car and truck toys are by far the most popular Cars 2 toys among all but the youngest kids. The standard 1:55 scale is the most popular, with the Mack Hauler Carry case being the ultimate Christmas gift for a Cars 2 kid, but some of the larger 1:24 scale toys are top-picks also.
