Sarge is the army veteran and surplus shop owner of Radiator Springs in the Disney Pixar Cars film franchise, voiced by Paul Dooley. The character is a 1942 Willys Army Jeep, first appearing in the 2006 Pixar Cars movie. Mattel has released Sarge as a die-cast collectible across multiple film eras and product lines since 2006.
Mattel has produced 62 Sarge die-cast variants in the Pixar Cars line since 2006. The full Sarge lineup spans 20+ years of releases and includes mainline cards, exclusive series, packaging variations, and movie-specific paint schemes. Each variant has its own Mattel number, assortment code, and release window.
Sarge releases break down across 4 distinct Pixar Cars film eras: Cars (2006 film): 22 variants; Cars 2 era (2011-2016): 16 variants; Cars 3 era (2017-2021): 13 variants; Modern releases (2022+): 11 variants. Each era brought new sculpts, paint variations, and packaging treatments. Collectors building the full Sarge subset typically work era by era to track which variants they own and which are still missing.
Among the most collectible Sarge die-cast variants are Saluting Sarge (2009), Pit Crew Member Sarge (2010), and Sarge (2010). These releases command higher collector value due to limited production, exclusive retailer status, or strong demand from collectors completing the Pixar Cars set.

Sarge die-cast collector value depends on year, packaging condition, rarity tier, and secondary-market demand. Common mainline Sarge releases trade close to their original retail price. Rare and Chase Sarge variants from earlier production runs can command significant premiums on the secondary market.
