Rarity & Significance
Common. This was a mass-produced item for toddlers and young children. While the 'Cars' franchise is highly collectible, the 'Shake 'N Go' sub-line is generally less desirable to adult collectors than the 1:55 scale die-cast line, especially when showing heavy play wear.
Special Features
Internal motion sensors, battery-operated motor, rubberized wheels for traction, and character-specific sound effects.
Notable Variations
This character was released in numerous colors (green, yellow, red, blue) reflecting his appearance in the film. This specific purple version represents his classic 'body art' look.
