The original Mack playset was a plastic toy of Mack released by Mattel in 2006 and one month before the film was released,https://www.ebay.de/itm/166743030667?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D1110006%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D266916%26meid%3D8f935dc0654a474aa982702c63113ada%26pid%3D10187 or 2005 according to some sources.https://www.walmart.com/ip/Disney-Cars-Movie-Mack-Truck-Lightning-McQueen-2005-Mattel-Toy-Car-Playset/980303301 This seems to be the first-ever merchandise toy of Mack to ever be produced. They stopped being produced sometime after Cars 2. 
== Overview ==
The model involves Mack himself with a removable trailer that Lightning McQueen can notably be stored inside. The iconic feature is that the trailer can be opened up from the sides and the user can see a full playset of features with those being: 
* A rocking lounger moved via the round button located at the entrance
* A game station and a big screen TV featuring a pressable game controller
* Car wash with removable accessories
* A washroom with a sink, toothbrush and mirror
* Weight machine
* A gas tank and a drink tank
* Car lift and some tires
* A kitchen with an openable fridge with a bottle inside under the name of ''Energy'' and three bottle molds being Nitroade, Transberry Juice and Shiny Wax.
* Two removable molds being a calling radio and a trophy case. 
* The trailer's backdoor can also open and could in addition be inserted between two lines seen on both sides and can be secured from opening easily when the two sides are closed.
== Other variations ==
A version replaces his covered trailer with a gray car transporter type with a flip down ramp which of course, never appeared in the films that have many variations in releases such as including three Cars characters randomly which package one gets. Another version released exclusively at Walmart makes Mack speak by pushing his hat.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlPfwhknzks&list=PL8SlwcJuVWR1L3lXaJveSyFOi1p6qmwYa&index=1 Another difference is that his eye decals are facing a bit away from each other. A black variant release of the trailer also exists.
A version for Cars 2 was released replacing his Cars decals with the ones seen in the former.

== Trivia ==
* So far, this is the closest model of Mack in accuracy to the films due to the trailer's size, etc. with also including content seen inside the trailer.
* There are differences with the prototypes of this model that are absent in the public release:
** The prototype seen on the front of the box depicts McQueen with his gaping mouth expression artwork instead of the accurate one on it seen in the films. On the sticker decals, the window line is even visible.
** One shows the interior of his trailer a lot more detailed with painting and slightly different molds alongside color variations.https://www.amazon.com/Mattel-L4069-Cars-Truck-Playset/dp/B000M1ERM4
** The one seen on the front of the box includes Mack with a mold of white teeth on his mouth alongside visible eyelids and his eyes facing upwards.
** Some prototype shots such as the back of the box shows an obscure model of McQueen that was never released to the public (though it could possibly be also a prototype of his diecast). Some units of the latter also depict him with silver rims on his wheels as opposed to the correct color of red.
* While the original release doesn't include McQueen, some box releases do.https://www.ebay.de/itm/225952177402
* The boxes of the transporter variants show the covered trailer version prototype for some reason.
