Chick Hicks Fan Blog

Here is another blog started dedicated to Chick Hicks information, trailers, toys, etc.
Check it out. Recently I read an article in which the person felt that Chick Hicks was not as popular (in terms of toys, merchandise, etc) as some of the other Cars characters. They based this observation on the fact that McDonald's Happy Meal Cars Toys Promotion did not include a Chick Hicks model. However, Chick Hicks is one of the more popular searches done on ebay for sure. I think that perhaps this lack of Chick Hicks merchandise might actually result in it becoming more desirable. Perhaps people are interesting in collecting the Chick Hicks merchandise because there is less of it. I mean you can find just about anything and everything with Lightning McQueen - from bedding, to clothes, wallpaper, party favors, etc. But there is something fun about collecting an "underdog character" in the merchandising world. One thing for sure is that Chick Hicks merchandise is selling strong on ebay.

Chick Hicks #86 Cars Trivia

* Chick's number (86) refers to the year of release of Pixar's first short, Luxo Jr..
* According to Cars director John Lasseter, the number also refers to "86-ing" someone, as in throwing them out.[4]
* His primary sponsor is the "Hostile Takeover Bank".
* In a nightmare that Lightning had after his first encounter with Frank the Combine Harvester, Chick gets shredded by Frank, who wins the race.
* When he hears Chick's voice on the radio outside Lizzie's, Lightning has a nightmarish daydream in which a triumphant Chick wins the Piston Cup and Dinoco sponsorship.
* Chick's driving style is believed by some to be similar to that of the late Dale Earnhardt, however, it is closer to current NASCAR driver Tony Stewart, who is known for aggressive driving and a tendency to lose his temper on and off the track.
* Certain merchandising text (most notably that for the "Piston Cup Track Set" from Mattel) refers to Chick as "Chick Murphy". It is unclear whether this was the character's original name, or if it was simply a mistake.
