Oh man those Burger King toys
Literally the only time I ever wanted to go to Burger King in my life
Shit man, I remember getting one of the Raichu toys when I was holidaying in Wales many years ago. I think it musta been lost before I headed back to England...
i remember buying one of these gold slabs of crap and treating it like treasure

I still have all 6 of those sitting on my shelf next to me after all these years.
It feels good.
Oh shit, now people wont stare at me (as much) when I buy Happy Meals!
But why do the toys from like, 10 years ago look so much better than the new ones?
Aren't those just paper cutouts of pokemon on a fancy stand?

"That very same year, the toys were recalled. Two infants suffocated to death when half of the outer portion of the Poké Ball covered their mouth and nose cutting off their air supply.[2] This led to Hasbro putting air holes in their Poké Ball toys."

???[/QUOTE]That incident didn't actually effect the toys themselves, though. All they did was stop packaging the BK 'mons with the "Pokeballs" they came with up until that point.
I think he's more getting at how the old BK toys were stuff like an articulated Mewtwo figure with light up eyes, while the Mewtwo here is [i]literally[/i] a cardboard cutout on a stand.
Remember, Happy Meals/Kids Meals in general have taken a lot of flack over recent years because as it was claimed "they were using toys to sell poison to kids". Also, off the top of my head Happy Meal prizes have been books as of recently. They couldn't do a flashy prize like the BK one even if they wanted to.

Lucky you, I got four or five of 'em.
Fan-favorite pokemon, and no sight of Gardevoir?
I can smell the lies all over this article.

When I was in scouts, there was this little derby thing with model cars you'd construct. AKA, my parents went ahead and did it for me without me.
[I]They used one of those things as a fucking weight.[/I]
Painted it, and glued it to the underside of it. Didn't even ask me. Just took it from my random toys and used it. Mother fuck.

I got a whole box of ten or so somewhere int the storage room. So fucking disappointed when I found they were gold plated.

Literally the only fast food toy I remember from my childhood.
Actually I take that back there was the Inspector Gadget thing.

Iffin it were my choice theyd've all been Cubone.
Just Cubone wearing different hats and with a different names. Like one is Sigmund, one is Timmy, etc. etc.
McDonalds, if you're listening, I am ready to become a master toy smith.
I had Jigglypuff Gold, and I forgot the other. But I had so many of the toys. Shame how kids meal toys and novelties have degraded over the years.
