Is it like the Taco Bell thing where you enter instantly? Or it it just a drawing at the end.

Remember that special Mew card you got for watching the movie?

Yep, at the theater we got the mew and three promo cards. My sister got Pikachu, Mewtwo and whatever the other one was. I got three Dragonites, hated Dragonite ever since.

Of course, once Silver rolled around...

Fuck Dragonite.

If you don't want the happy meal, I think you can buy the toy alone for cheaper.

Usually it's something like 99c/99p for the toy with a purchase of something else.

I hate McD's, but gotta get these.

Usually it's something like 99c/99p for the toy with a purchase of something else.

Most every store should also sell them entirely separately from anything, usually from $1.00-$2.00 although it might be just worth it at that point to get the happy meal. If ya'll don't want the food you can get apple slices and go-gurt in the meals now.


They look kind of cheap compared to some of the Pokemon toys McD did in the last few years and of course they aren't anywhere near what they were in the 90s but hey, they're cool.

I think Nintendo did a MK8 one last year (or two years ago?) And previously did some with Burger King, although Nintendo has done stuff with McD in Japan before/usually.

Kind of neat, excited to pick some up

Good stuff, but not as good as the GOAT:

I never did get that Parakoopa. Oh well.

Oh my GOD. I had forgotten about this completely until right now. :O

 

[Yarbskoo]

i'm-a lovin' it.

Anyone who says amiibo look like happy meal toys is full of shit.

 

[7DollarHagane]

Got 4 of them, my 3 year old has been having fun with them. Pretty high quality for 99 cents

 

[Apoleptica]

You can get these for free with a happy meal and yet people are out there paying $20 for amiibo lol

 

[Kastrioti]

the odds of winning one LMFAO. it's a great way to sell you mcdonald but i'm not doing this. you are better off just paying for one.

You may not get a Switch but you'll get a cheeseburger, delicious fries and a soda for lunch

 

[Tripon]

Note, these are the same toys that McDonalds Japan had last year.

The real question is what was the special toy for kids under 3?

 

[MissCauthon]

This in Canada?

nothing will ever match

My dad worked at Taco Bell back then, so I think I got each one. I need to find them; they were very cool!

I spent a good several hours with the Mario Maze one.

Last weekend we bought my 3 year-old son a happy meal before heading to a party. About 30 minutes after eating it, he started crying in his car seat, then vomited. He seemed alright for a few minutes, then started crying again and, yep, vomit again.

By this time we got to the party, and he seemed like he was recovering. 10 minutes later, he starts crying and my wife grabs him and runs towards the bathroom, but he vomits the clear remnants of chicken mcnugguts all over the kitchen floor. We rinse him off, change his clothes and then he was fine.

Moral of the story: a toy that cost 10 cents to manufacture isn't worth it.

I loathe McDonald's but my coworker showed me her Yoshi this morning (not an euphemism) so I know where I'm going for lunch today. She said it's about $1.70 to just buy the toy.

Why is there a DK toy

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

Why is there a DK toy

...because Donkey Kong is a Nintendo character?

 

[SoldierOfLight]

Why is there a DK toy

Ha, I remember having that DK toy.

Man, if I had all those Mario toys from my childhood....

 

[Zubz]

Why is there a DK toy

This was back in 96-97, so they were still riding that DKC high. It may have been their 2nd most popular series at the time, since Pokemon wasn't out here yet.

 

[SatoAilDarko]

I have 5 as of today, only missing Peach, Luigi and Red Shell.

 

[sixteen-bit]

I've never seen folks happier to unbox happy meal toys

Holy shit.

That green MK64 toy, I"ve had it since I was 3 but I never knew where it came from.

Thank you, for explaining a piece of my childhood.
