Favorite Kids Meal Promotions

Thinking back, there were quite a lot of fast food toys that I really loved, with plenty of play value, detailed sculpts/paint jobs, & enjoyable action features. These are some of the ones that stand out in my memory after all these years.

BK's Universal Monsters. Such dope sculpts, & they had neon green LED's in them, very rad.

BK's Jackie Chan Adventures figures. I absolutely adored this show, but as far as I know, it never had any actual toys. These filled that gap in my collection just fine. I played the sh*t out of them, seriously.

BK's Men In Black line. They did two separate waves, but the one I liked most included this thing, it's a spinning top UFO. You'd blow into it & set it down, then it'd whistle & whir about. There were two, the one pictured below, & the one I had (which is harder to find a picture of) that was grey with a light green creature inside, one that resembled the more traditional "grey" aliendesign. They had slimed agents, memory wiping devices, various inter-dimensional beasts, cool stuff.

BK's Pokemon series, my all time favorite of theirs. I had most of what you see pictured here, including the vac-metal chrome Pokeballs with gold plated cards. This stuff was badass. I used most of these pieces with my regular Tomy collection, some of the figures they included with their kids meals were of a more accurate scale to the otherwise awkwardly sized official stuff.

Taco Bell's Crash Bandicoot/Spyro The Dragon set. I had Crash Bandicoot figures, but they were so top heavy & flimsy that they'd never stand up & broke after a week or two. So it was nice to have a solid mini figure of the Playstation mascot that I didn't have to worry about. Spyro was a favorite of mine as well, I really dug these.

McDonald's Dinosaurs. Absolutely fantastic sculpt work on these. This was another show that to my knowledge didn't have toys (if it did, they weren't on my radar) so it was a great set to have. Pretty comprehensive, too!

McDonald's Halloween Chicken Nuggets. No list of this nature would be complete without them. This particular wave was my favorite, or at least, the neon-green haired dude was my #1 & as such I remember these best of all.

Of course, let's not forgot that the BK Kid's Club had TMNT tapes. Those may be the greatest of all.

I guess I have a bias towards their goods, ultimately. I ate there more than most other places in the mid to late 90's, & they no doubt had the best toys, at least I think so.
