New Disney Store "Pixar Cars Artist Series collection" - Updated

The official Disney Store Instagram just posted this great photo of a highly detailed version of Cars star, Lightning McQueen. According to the post, this will be a new series (Cars Artist Series Collection) of releases designed under the guidance of Pixar Animation Studio. In fact, this first series was designed by Cars veteran, Pixar artist and creator of the Motorama car show at Pixar's studio.

The detail in Lightning's engine is fantastic and the burnt ends of the exhaust pipes is a great little detail as well - we can't wait to see more.

So, here's what we know:

• The series will be released online and in "select" Disney stores starting on Monday, June 16 (though some stores have them on shelves already).
• The cars are Die-cast

• Limited edition or broad release
• Cost is unknown yet
• Physical size of the cars
• Will the cars have working lights
