McDonalds Releases Ice Age 3 Toys Happy Meal Toys 2009

McDonalds, New Zealand current happy meal toy promotion is Ice Age 3 Dawn of the Dinosaurs. This toy release is yet another global campaign by McDonalds and is part of a movie tie-in deal.

McDonalds Ice Age 3 Dawn of the Dinosaurs New Zealand Toy Release 2009
McDonalds Releases Ice Age 3 Toys Happy Meal Toys 2009
The New Zealand and Australian toy release includes 8 key characters from the movie. The toys are similar to their US counterparts but there are small differences mainly the green leaf on the side of the toy. When the leaf is rubbed with a fore finger a couple of times it reveals a hidden icon. It is a shame that none of the toys in the New Zealand and Australian version talk as in the North American release (Manny, Sid and Buck speak).

Manny (Flick a switch on Manny's back to see his head move side to side) differs from North American toy release where Manny says, "Whoa!" and "You know I can hear with these things")

Diego (Push down on his hind legs for pouncing action)

Mamma Dino (Her head rotates for different facial expressions)

Buck (Buck wears a leafy sash. His head rotates 360 degrees, and all his arms and legs move) differs from North American release where his right arm activates the thumbs up and he yells out "Nobody Move!")

McDonalds Ice Age 3 Dawn of the Dinosaurs New Zealand Toy Release 2009 - Buck - arms, legs and head rotates

Scrat (Push the button to launch an acorn)

Sid (Throws a bundle in the air and catches it) differs from North American release which has Sid saying "Way to go Momzilla!" and "Everybody loves Sid!" activated by arm movement)

Burger King Star Trek Toys 2009 - 16 Movie Inspired Toys

Burger King have excelled themselves again with the release of the Star Trek Kids Meal Toys. These toys are a great collectable and seem to be popular with new and seasoned collectors alike. The Star Trek movie has been pretty successful here in New Zealand even with non Trekkies so there are plenty of eager fans new and old queuing up to beam all 16 toys to their collection.

Burger King Star Trek Toys 2009 - Complete Set of 16 Toys

Personally I like these toys from Burger King. While they are not super detailed the likenesses are good. The toys also display well which in my book is a definite plus. The characters have oversized heads but are not bobble-headed like many of the recent releases. If you recall Burger King's Thunderbirds were bobble-headed as were the Clone Wars happy meal toys from McDonalds last year.

There are 16 toys in this global promotion from Burger King which are being released 4 at a time over 4 weeks. That's a lot of burgers for fans and collectors to chomp their way through in a month. Are you up to the challenge?

The Star Trek toys feature characters, spaceships, vehicles and equipment from the Star Trek movie. Each toy has its own sound effect. The packaging of the New Zealand set varies from the US set. As is typical here toys are distributed in a clear plastic wrapper with a paper insert as opposed to labelling on the plastic bag. This style of wrapping has advantages and disadvantages. On the plus side it is easy to see the toy. On the down side there is no indication of the name of the toy or the set it belongs to which can be annoying if you are trying to identify a particular toy.

The Star Trek set of 16 kids meal toys includes the following toys:

8 Star Trek Characters Figures:
Captain Kirk, Bones Chekov, Sulu, Scotty, Uhura, Spock and Spock Prime (original Spock)

2 Star Trek Equipement Toys:

Bones - “I’m a doctor, not a physicist”
Scotty - “I’m giving it all she’s got, Captain”
Uhura - “Captain, we’re being hailed”
Chekov - “Ensign Chekov Pavel Andreivich, sir”
Sulu - “Warp 3, sir”
Spock Prime (Original Spock) - “Live long and prosper”

Sadly No Glasses Included in Promotion
Unlike the US and Canadian franchises Burger King New Zealand has not released the Star Trek collectable glasses. This is a real shame as they look like a nice set and to be very high quality to me.


Summary
Burger King have released 16 Star Trek movie tie-in toys in New Zealand. The set includes 8 character figures: Kirk, Young Spock, Spock Prime, Scotty, Sulu, Bones, Chekov, Uhura, 5 Spaceships: Shuttle, Enterprise, Kelvin, Warbird, Jellyfish, a tricorder, a communicator and a hoverbike. The set is identical to the US set apart from the packaging. No collectable glasses are being promoted. Live long and prosper Trekkies!!!

McDonalds Spider-man and Hello Kitty Toys Happy Meal Toys 2009

McDonalds Spider-man toys for boys and Hello Kitty watches for girls are the current happy meal promotion at McDonalds for March 2009. These McDonalds toys will have you eating burgers by the boxful.

McDonalds Spider-man Toys 2009

Spectacular Spider-man Animated series toys are being given away with every happy meal sold at McDonalds over four weeks in March 2009. The toy promotion, based on Marvel’s Spectacular Spider-man series (Peter Parker battles Super Villians while struggling to conceal his web-slinging identity), is being rolled out in over 25,000 McDonald’s restaurants around the world throughout the US, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East, Australia and New Zealand.


McDonalds Spectacular Spiderman Promotional Toy 2009 - Spider-man Suction Cup
McDonalds Spiderman Suction Cup Toy 2009

As is common with Australian and New Zealand releases McDonalds is limiting the set to four toys instead of the eight toys released in most sets around the world including the McDonalds Spiderman US set. The happy meal toys that have been omitted are Spiderman Launcher (Web Shooter), Doctor Octopus, Sandman, Spiderman Swinging. This is frustrating for downunder collectors as we would have loved to get our hands on the full set of these super heroes and super villians. I wish McDonalds would change its policy around this.

Unpacked the Spider-man toys are solid and durable enough to sustain the kind of action you would expect any superhero ready to endure. Don’t expect to develop super powers overnight though! Still fans and collectors will love posing these happy meal toys as they look great on display. Included in the set are:

  • Spiderman suction cup

  • The Green Goblin - pull back roll action

  • Venom - water squirter

  • Spiderman Crawling - floor crawler

McDonalds Hello Kitty Happy Meal Watches

Hello Kitty fans and collectors will be pleased with the McDonalds Hello Kitty Sanrio watches that are being given away with every McDonalds happy meal during March 2009. Designed for girls these toys will have the little girl in your household begging to get her hands on one of these little kitties. Unfortunately for Australian and New Zealand collectors this promotion is limited to four of the eight toys released overseas and does not include Hello Kitty Green Apple, My Melody, Chococat, and Little Twin Stars as pictured below.

McDonalds Hello Kitty Watches Promotion Set of 8

The Hello Kitty watches included in this New Zealand McDonalds happy meal promotion are:

Please Note: This promotion differs from the US promotion which includes Spider-man and Littlest Pet Shop toys instead of Hello Kitty watches.

With this promotion McDonalds can expect the number of happy meals to soar as kids persuade their parents that nothing will satisfy them other than to get their laughing gear around a McDonalds happy meal.


Summary

Four Hello Kitty watches and four Spectacular Spider-man toys are being given away by McDonalds with every happy meal sold in March 2009 in Australia and New Zealand. In the US promotion McDonalds Spectacular Spiderman toys included more toys and is paired with Littlest Pet Shop rather Hello Kitty.

Burger King Cabbage Patch and Monster Jam Kids Meal Toys 2009

Burger King have two great Kids Club Meal toy promotions in New Zealand this month: Cabbage Patch Kids and Monster Jam trucks. Meanwhile in Australia the same promotion is running concurrently but is being distributed by Hungry Jacks restaurants. Both sets of these collectible Cabbage Patch dolls and Monster Jam vehicles are identical to the current promotion in the USA, Europe and more than 30 countries around the world.

Burger King Cabbage Patch Kids Toys

This release follows on from the successful 2008 promotion by Burger King of Cabbage Patch Kids Minis commemorating 25 years of Cabbage Patch Kids.

The current Burger King promotional set includes 6 different Cabbage Patch dolls each nicely styled and coming with its own sticker accessory for dressing up the mini. Included in this Burger King / Hungry Jacks set of Cabbage Patch minis are the following figures:

Burger King Monster Jam Trucks

The latest 2009 Monster Jam truck premiums from Burger King are similar to the popular Burger King Monster Jam 2008 promotion (2006 in the US) in that they have the oversized tyres and their tops pop off. This time round, however, there are only six trucks instead of the eight that were in the earlier promotion. For some reason which I can’t fathom Burger King have chosen to repeat Grave Digger. Go figure???
