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 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).

Scrat - McDonalds Ice Age 3 Happy Meal Toy

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!")



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)



Rudy (Move his arm for jaw chomping action)

Scrat (Press down on the acorn to see it hide and reappear)

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)

Bones - Burger King Star Trek Toys 2009

6 Star Trek Spaceship and Vehicle Toys:
USS Enterprise, USS Kelvin, Warbird, Spock's Ship (the Jellyfish), Shuttle, Hover Bike

USS Enterprise - Burger King Star Trek Toys 2009

2 Star Trek Equipement Toys:
Tricorder, Communicator

Tricorder - Burger King Star Trek Kids Meal Toy Promotion 2009

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”

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 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 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

4 Different MeDonalds Hello Kitty Watches 2009

McDonalds Hello Kitty Watch 2009 - Starry Princess Watch

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 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???
