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???

The Monster Jam trucks in the 2009 promotion, which target boys in the 6 to 12 age group, come with every BK Kids Club Meal sold. They are rugged, have all-wheel pivot steering and interchangeable tops. The six piece Monster Jam set includes:

• Grave Digger (black, green body)


• Maximum Destruction (red)


• Scarlet Bandit (pink)

McDonalds Toys 2008 List Australia and New Zealand

In this post you will find a round up of all the McDonalds toys 2008 promoted in happy meals in Australia and New Zealand along with a discussion of some of the best happy meal toys promotions for the year of 2008.

McDonalds Madagascar 2 Toys 2008 Australia and New Zealand

McDonalds Madagascar Escape 2 Africa 2008 toys are the latest happy meal toy promotion at McDonalds in New Zealand and Australia. The toys which were released on Monday 22 December 2008 coincide with the new animated Madagascar 2 movie from the Dreamworks stable. McDonalds have made a smart move with this marketing campaign as the Madagascar 2 promotion is the largest global release since the Shrek 3 happy meal promotion last year. Unfortunately the McDonalds New Zealand release is a bit behind the rest of the world so we've had to wait quite a few extra weeks to get our hands on these toys.

KFC Kids Meals Spinjas Toys 2008

KFC, New Zealand are currently giving away one KFC Spinjas toy with every KFC kids meal. These toys are identical to those promoted in Australia and possibly the rest of the world although I would welcome confirmation from anyone who has the lowdown on these fast food premiums.

McDonalds Endangered Animals Happy Meal Toys 2008

The current promotion at McDonalds Australia and New Zealand is the Endangered Animals happy meal toys 2008. This cute set of 10 plush toys is being released in partnership with Australia Zoo in Queensland and includes endangered animals from around the world.
