bmxbandit 03-16-2007 09:21 PM

Jester 03-16-2007 09:23 PM

Um, I'm still getting the Robo-pets and My Little Pony.

discordiatookie 03-16-2007 09:34 PM

Holy crap them's some weird ass lookin plastrons!!!

VaughnMichael 03-16-2007 11:12 PM

ok I stand corrected all those times I said 2k3 toys where as bad as happymeal toys...I didn't think some things could get worse but they did..
good lord:o I'm adding my vote for these as the ugliest tmnt promotional toys ever!

Raph's Girl 03-16-2007 11:30 PM

I am unsure if those are available at any of the McDonald's near me...but I'm gonna make a full day of TMNT shopping on the 23rd so I'll be going to a couple McDonald's in the area. The one at the Tacoma Mall I get a discount on cuz Im a member of the mall's kid's club thing. I just show my kids club card and I get a hamburger happymeal for only 99 cents! :evilgrin:

Wildcat 03-16-2007 11:59 PM

Hmmm...guess I'm the only one who likes them.......for a happy meal toy they sure do have a good likeness of there movie-counterparts....youd think they would be cheap badly colored pieces of plastic....but they look good,surprisingly.

I'll be sure to get them.....well the ones with posable arms.

Katie 03-17-2007 08:20 AM

Those "praying ones" (i know they aren't praying...but that's the closest word I have to describe that) look wierd...but the action ones don't look that bad :)

God...that means I have to choke down a McD's burger :dead: or my pooch will anyway :P

Or you can do the smart thing and buy the toy without having to buy a happy meal. They allow you to do that.

Jo Dawn 03-17-2007 09:06 AM

I wants them! Unfortunately, I never eat McDonalds, and now I literally can't, sooo...

Man, I wish I knew someone that worked there, like I used to.

hmmm...did not know that.


Well...my puppy likes going out in the car....and she loves getting a plain (just meat and bun) burger.....so I suppose I can buy a happy meal for my "kid"

installerray 03-17-2007 03:02 PM

you can always get the nuggets instead of the burger. they are the only good thing at mcdonalds anyway. in the begining when the movie was 1st announced i was praying that wendys would have the toys. Wendys is with out a doubt the best fast food.

Wendys???!!!..........why would they even get the toys in the first place.......we all know that McDonalds get the best and top of the line franchises for thier happy meals.......Burger King is second.

JohnnyFoxDarko 03-17-2007 07:02 PM

I wanna get the first 4. I don't get the point to having the other four (with launching...things.)
I like how they explained them as "-slimmer and more action packed" turtles.

why this may be true and mcdonalds is a much better base for marketing, im simply saying that wendys has the best fast food.

Cascadia 03-17-2007 08:52 PM

Oh well...my closest McDonalds is 30 miles away.

Roseangelo 03-17-2007 09:08 PM

I got the Leonardo (with sword) today at the movie premiere - it's VERY nice and worth a trip to McDonalds. The other ones (without weapons) look weird and apparently the shell opens up (as I observed from a distance).

OH...well I myself like McDonalds,Burger King and Jack in the Box.......I don't have a Wendys in my town....so thats why I never eat it,I don't have a Jack in the Box either...but when I go out of town I ususally pick "Jack".

Kunoichi_Haruko 03-17-2007 09:52 PM

I worked at Wendy's a few years ago. Their nuggets pwned all back then, and the Junior Bacon Cheeseburger = YUM.

However, McD's has definitely improved their nuggets; I daresay they give ol' Wendy a run for her money...

Masked Ninja 03-17-2007 10:05 PM

Haharr. I may have to find a Mickey D's.

Not bad for McDonald's toys... looks like they're even different colors of green! I'd be liable to get one, just 'cuz. I wonder how long this promotion will go...

And yeah, they started selling the toys by themselves during that Teenie Beanie craze, I think. You remember how insane that was? It was to stop people from buying 20 happy meals, taking the toys out, and pitching the food. Because lots of people were idiots. :tpizza:

Raph's Girl 03-17-2007 10:21 PM

Well I think the reason Mcdonald's got the movie toys is cuz they were the ones who got the movie toys for the previous films. Heck I still have a Donatello pin I got in a Happy Meal from 1990! :lol: And yes Im wearing it on the 23rd... actually wore it today at work as my St. Patrick's Day green. :P

Roseangelo 03-18-2007 12:15 AM

Actually, McDonald's has never had the TMNT toys in the past. Not in the US, at least. Within the last year there was a 2K3 promo in the UK.

Ra 03-18-2007 12:21 AM

Same here in Australia. We had some girl/boy happy meal with something like "My Little Pony" or these cool looking TMNT toys that flipped or something like that. It looked cool, but I'm kinda off McDonalds now ever since I found out that Hungry Jacks (ie Burger King) is much better in terms of burgers and products.

Wildcat 03-18-2007 12:48 AM

Burger King had TMNT toys back when the 2K3 series started........but they were nothing like these.....they were cheap mostly,there was a nice one of Raph on a motorcycle but it was painted very badly,the rest were just cheap plastic doo-dads and what-nots........needless to say I never got any of them.

Thats good...from what I remember of it,it didn't have alot of detail....plus it didn't really do anything special.......what does it do?

METALHEAD 03-20-2007 04:46 PM

I LIKE THEM! they remind me of the burger king tmnt toys---thank god i can chose mcnuggets! i'm pretty much got it covered----theyre gonna be m ine! woot!:D

It's a wind up type thing. You move it backwards and the back wheel cranks up, then you let it fly.... the back wheel also lights up.

CudleyCowlick 03-20-2007 06:27 PM

They don't look great to me, but I won't really be able to tell until I've actually seen one, last I checked we still had those robo-things here near the east coast. I don't know what they are but they look a lot cooler in the commercials than what I've seen about the TMNT toys so far.

JetsAndHeels 03-20-2007 06:30 PM

I haven't seen them around here yet, but I check daily. Hopefully it will be anyday now since the movie is about to hit.

Here's one of the Leo toys:

Oh, shush. You will anger the rabid fan girl inside of me :P

Seriously though, that katana of his isn't really thin. Heck, it looks more like a knight's sword than a ninja sword. Other than that, the colors look okay, though the green is a little to bright. The anatomy looks pretty spot on, too.

lol I'm a fan of kingdome hearts and well the sword does look more like it was based off of a butter knife than anything :lol:

guys on ebay have the complete sets already. cheapest is 17 total. so lets do the math ... happy meal is about $4 ( not exactly sure ) times 8 to get all of them ( if your lucky ) is 32 bucks and you have all that sh*tty food. ebay seems like the way to go

Nah....I'm going with McDonalds....I like there food....and apperntly millions others do to:P ...besides I managed to get every peice if Inspector Gadget's body back in '99. 4 turtles shouldn't be that hard.

Roseangelo 03-21-2007 09:11 PM

I plan on buying a Happy Meal and asking to buy whatever additional toys they have individually. Shouldn't cost too much.
