We knew this was going to happen, but sharp-eyed reader Jennifer pointed out in this comment that a slew of new die-cast toys from last summer’s Disney-Pixar hit, “Cars,” is coming out soon.

RPMdiecast.com is taking pre-orders for these “Cars” characters, a few of which are shipping in June or July; others have no release date listed except for “coming soon 2007″:

• No. 64 race car
• Bob Cutlass (the announcer voiced by Bob Costas)
• Darrell Cartrip (the color announcer voiced by Darrel Waltrip)
• Cruisin’ McQueen (this is the Radiator Springs-repainted Lightning McQueen with whitewall tires)
• Dale Earnhart Jr. car
• Dinoco-colored Chick Hicks
• Dinoco Tex

No Frank the combine, however.
