Another Cars character I don't remember. Fred looks like an offspring of Mater 😃
A curious fact: according to
this blog post and the
Pixar Wiki, the original die cast version of him was found to be oversized compared to his film counterpart; they later released a smaller version (presumably the 2016 one), but customers/collectors claimed even that wasn't good for them. Wonder if this new one fixed the issue for good since it looks to be another new mould.
The 2022 version is resized to be in the middle thats why i got this version also the smaller version was issued sometime in the early 2010's and this version is more accurate to the film.
