different TMNT toys in fastfood chain in Belgium

Yesterday I saw a commerial for the fastfood chain Quick (similar to McDonalds). There have TMNT toys there now. I don't know how long this is going on because their website is not up to date. There are some differences:

1. there are only 4 toys, not 8
2. Mikey and Raph have different positions AND have weapons

I'll going to try to go to the quick, but that won't be until tuesday I'm afraid. I hope they will still have these figures by then. If I find a picture I'll post it here.

Dudette!
Thanks for the info, Buffy... I hadn't heard about that.
I think I'll be able to check a Quick restaurant today. I'll keep you informed!

Fixer out

I was able to buy them al yesterday. Although the mikey and raph figures were not available, the manager gave me the ones that where stored in the glass case there This was already the second week that they had these toys in the Quick. On their website they are still showing toys that they had in March. Bad advertising once again!
The toys themselves are not fantastic: paint spatters over their body and they are also very fragile: I already broke one arm of Leo off But these are different figures then the American versions in the McDonalds.
I'll try to post images soon.

So you got the ones from the glass case... Lucky girl!

We went to a Quick today and we got two Raphs. He's pretty cool though...
If you press the button on his shell, HE KICKS!

One strange thing though... Our Raphs both have painted eyeballs. Don't think they were supposed to have them. They don't have them on the promo posters...

Anyway... Unless we try to pursuade them to get the dislpay figures from the glass case next time, we're gonna have to order the kiddy 'Magic Box' three more times

Here's the official Quick promo ad. Featuring perfect paintjobs of course...



By the way Buffy, do Leo, Mikey and Don have any action features (like Raph's legendary Ninja Kick action )?

Too bad you don't have Don and Leo: I saw that they where handing those out to the kids in Leuven. I noticed when I look at your promo ad that Leo's arm has a different position than my Leo. No wonder that arm came off :p
Leo's action: he can slash with both arms
Don's action: he can push his bo-staff away
Mikey's action: he swings with his nunchucs
very cool

They were HANDING Don and Leo to kids in Leuven? Coooool!
Although slightly less cool that I wasn't among them

Oh- and thanks for the action features on the other Turtles, Buffy!
Can't wait to try them out!

I've also noted that this thread's been awfully quiet expect for our posts...
We're the only ones here!
Looks like it's been more like a private conversation

Hey I'll chime in, these are cool! If either of you would hook me up I'd pay cost + shipping or if you don't have the American McDonald's figures we could trade. If not it's cool, these are some neat toys, I like the sculpting of the McDonald's ones more, but the action features and weapons look far better here.

Sorry, I wrote this down wrong. What I meant was: the kids who bought the happy meals mostly got Leo's or Don's with their meals. I'm really bad at explaining stuff :p It's a work in progress :p

You're welcome fixer

Your ad looks really cool: nice scan! I'm not really good at that stuff I'm afraid.

Maybe we could trade? Those McDonald toys look really cool. This evening and thursday evening I could drive to the Quick and see if I can obtain all the figures. It's no problem at all.
