Title: McDonald's Clone Wars Happy Meal Toys
Post by: Phrubruh on July 11, 2008, 02:42 PM
Here is a picture of the new McDonalds Clone Wars toys. To me none of these make sense. Are the characters driving the ship or is there just a huge bobble head stuck to their antenna?

If you look at Anakin on the right hand side of the sheet, it looks like we see a glimpse of the deco on his Clone Wars Delta-7 JSF

They're just like little versions of Gentle Giant's smash hit Customz.  No, really, big sellers.  Or yeah, the bobblehead on a stick theory works too.

Thanks for posting.  I will continue to avoid McDonald's.  :P

The Vader one looks a lot like the Funko Wacky Wobbler I have...  Other than that, these look like crap.

If they are bobble head people riding vehicles then what is the Stormtrooper doing to that AT-AT?

Well atleast we know what animated OT figures could look like, in terms of likeness. ::)

Well, they're stupid. I will also continue to avoid McDonald's.

Ill probably get them all only because I get free stuff when doing the overnight shifts anyways ::)
Besides it will add some diversity to my collection.

Perhaps Burger King saw these toys and that's why they decided not to continue their contract?  I'm definitely not as excited about these as 2005's toys.

But you're still required to get the Vader one right Jesse?

I like the Chewbacca one.

Post by: David on July 13, 2008, 11:19 AM
Yeah, I'm thinking if I get one of these it'll probably be Chewie's head popping out of the AT-ST. That one's pretty cool.

WOW!

These are stunningly awful. 

I wonder if you could pop off the heads and just have the vehicles???

These toys are not next in line at mcdonalds for distribution. I was talking to my manager and apperently we are getting spy gear toys next. So I can see these coming maybe after that...unless the states has a different line up then canada.

I can't decide if these are just really really bad or if they are the worst happy meal premiums ever.  Pass.

They are not the worst. Trust me. The pirates stuff was horrible (dead mans chest) the micky d I worked at still had a box, no other stores would take it and no kids wanted it. We tried to give it away at a birthday party and the next week we found the majority of the kids brought them back to trade for other toys lol. Besides these seem to have a lot more detail then most of the toys we used to get.

If you were a two year old, they would be AWESOME.  In my small focus group of 2-year olds this weekend (n=3), 100% of those in the group loved them.  ;)

I haven't actually seen these in person, but from the pictures I've seen I like them. And off of what Jeff was saying, as crazy as it sounds, I think Happy Meals are meant for little children and not 30+ year olds.

They are goofy enough to match up well with my collection of Taco Bell and Burger King ones.  Yeah, they are for kids

They have something called a customer satsifaction case.  It has multiples of all 18.  The first McDonald's I went to was very accommodating.  The manager went back, grabbed the case, and pulled all 18 toys for me - 15 minutes of work for her that she did not have to do.  I was able to buy all of them a la carte.

No they dont...Its called on the days we do brower(restock) we get all the toys seperated in their own case. usually 2/3 different types in a box. So that BS of we only have so and so is a lie. They are all in the back room however we do usually have strict rules about which are allowed to open but if a customer insists we simply go to the back with manager permision and take a knife to each box to make a big enough hole to grab 1 of each toy. We may have had those cases way back when but no longer. Each box just has a nubmer on them in which we have to follow order.

Jango Tat - I am not sure how it works where you are; all I can say is what I witnessed with my two eyes.  The manager brought out a sealed case with the words "Star Wars Customer Satisfaction case" printed on the side.  She opened it in front of me and pulled out each and every figure from the box, sorting through them to make sure I got all 18.  So - no lie, just a very customer friendly manager.  And she did this at lunch time.

I completely forgot about this until just now, but I got a call from my sister over the weekend about these toys.  She works for the company that handles the distribution of McDonald's Happy Meal promotions and called to let me know that she got me two full sets of these, one for each of my sons.  So with absolutely no effort whatsoever on my part, I got 36 of these for free!
