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 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???

  • Grave Digger (black, green body)
