Disney Pixar Cars Collection

Each band comes in four different colors. The colors for this pack include orange, green, blue, and red. The pack includes five shapes of characters in the first movie. The following provides a description for each of the five characters.

McQueen

It is only fitting the lead character of the popular movie Cars has his own Character Bandz. Lighting McQueen is the easiest and most familiar shape to identify. The shape is a side view of the car and is in the racing car shape of Lighting McQueen.

Wingo

Wingo is part of the crew of cars that serenades Mac to sleep on the highway. It is the green car in the movie with the tall spoiler on the rear of the car. The shape of this Character Bandz is easy to recognize because of the tall rear spoiler.

Snot Rod

Snot Rod has the car engine raised out of the hood of the car. This makes an unusual shape for a Silly Bandz, but once you realize what you are looking at you can see the car in the shape.

Boost

Boost is a gray and purple car in the move with a wide spoiler on the rear of the car. The Silly Bandz looks as though Boost has a jet engine mounted to the rear of the car.

D.J.

D.J. is the blue boxy car in the movie. This is an easier Silly Bandz to recognize because it is shorter than the rest of the Disney Cars Character Bandz.

The best way to collect Silly Bandz is to buy the ones you like, keeping the colors you like, and trading away the leftovers. Do you have any suggestions for Silly Bandz collecting? Which one is your favorite?
