Disney Pixar Cars - Over Sized, Mega Sized, What's, What?

What's bigger...Super Sized? Mega Sized? Over Sized? Value Sized? Up Sized? Holey Cow, stop, stop, my head hurts! If you haven't noticed, Mattel has released the "Mainline" die cast Cars, then Over sized Cars, and now Mega Sized Cars. What is the difference between an Over Sized and a Mega Sized Car? Which is larger?

I naturally think a Mega Sized Car is bigger than an Over Sized Car. Mega connotes very huge! In fact, it is 10 to the power of 6, which means one million. Over Sized means...being of more than standard or ordinary size. My logic is correct, but in the world of toys and packaging, my assumption is wrong. The Over Sized is larger than the Mega Sized. Does this make sense?!

I had a little talk with Mr Cars himself, Martin Arriola. Martin told me that Marketing makes the calls that Packaging's copywriter follows for package design and copy. He also mentioned that Design is responsible for the product and giving Marketing an accurate description asap. Then, Packaging can start their process. In this case, maybe they never saw the prototypes. Maybe they don't know the difference between Mega and Over Sized! Maybe they missed the memo.

When you compare, you see that Al Oft the Lightyear Blimp (Over Sized), is pretty close in size to Dustin Mellows (Mega Sized). Before seeing the two in person, I expected Dustin Mellows to be much larger in size. So, you'd think that Dustin would be Over Sized and Al would be Mega Sized. Guess it is better to just say they are BIG! It worked for Tom Hanks!! ;-) I think I'll go to Mc Donalds and get a Super Sized fry. Wait, they did away with that. Instead, I'll go to Chick Fil A and get an Up Sized Sweet Iced Tea!
