Mattel Disney Cars Color Changers: Cryptid Buster Lightning McQueen (HMD70) – Water-Activated Color Change

Two Color Stories in One Water-Activated Disney Cars Toy

Meet Cryptid Buster Lightning McQueen, a 1:55 scale racer from Mattel inspired by Disney and Pixar’s Cars. This toy car adds a second paint finish that comes to life when you dip it in water, letting kids watch colors shift before their eyes.

Warm water reveals a bold new shade, while cold water returns the surface to the original look. The transformation happens quickly, turning ordinary play into a mini-mystery scene where colors react to touch, water temperature, and motion. The car is designed for simple, hands-on interaction and durability for daily adventures.
