Retro_Link Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 (edited) Buzz Lightyear is left behind at a fast food restaurant when a kids' meal toy version of Buzz takes his place. While Bonnie's toys are stuck with the annoying three-inch-tall Buzz impersonator, the real Buzz is trapped in therestaurant at a support group for discarded toys. As Woody and the gang devise a way to rescue their friend, Buzz tries to escape the toy psychotherapy meeting. I love how they've perfectly captured the crappyness, yet at the same time awesomeness [when you're younger] feel of fast food toys! --- And on the subject of Fast Food toys... which were your favs from back in the day? I always remember these Burger King TMHT toys as a Classic! Edited November 23, 2011 by Retro_Link
Paj! Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 I LOVED McDonald's toys when I was little. All the Disney ones were *fainting smilie if there were one* And I loved the rare Batman ones they did. Eventually BK got the rights I think, I remember Batman Beyond toys being at BK, which we never went to at the time.
Retro_Link Posted November 23, 2011 Author Posted November 23, 2011 (edited) It's really difficult trying to remember what toys/series/tye-ins they brought out... but when you were little it was so fun! :p Going into McDonalds/Burger King and seeing what the new series of Toys was in that little perspex cabinet! *do they still have these/do this?* Edited November 23, 2011 by Retro_Link

I hate these toys. McDonalds wasn't a thing in my area (country even?) when I was a child so I don't have a good memory of the toys from then, and now I just hate seeing them round the house. Awful, awful toys.
Sméagol Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 (edited) With my crap internet I didn’t watch the video, and then it isn’t clear that this is a new short which will be shown before the new Muppets film. Anyway, now I know. I have a bunch of these toys, used to love ’m. Don't think I’ll get rid of them, they’re part of the nostalgia.. My memories of the good times. Going to the new Disney with the family, going to McDonalds afterwards to get one of the corresponding toys.. Maybe I can be arsed to make a picture later. I believe if you have quite the collection, you can actually make a bit of money by selling them on Ebay.. Unfortunately my collection is far from complete. Edit: Looking at Ebay, I may have been too optimistic about the money. Edited November 23, 2011 by Sméagol
jayseven Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 I remember those cars which slotted together -- may've been burger king... or wacky races... Man my memory sucks.

What country is that?
Mr_Odwin Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 England/UK. My first exposure to a McDonalds was a friends 10th/11th birthday. Not sure what it was like round the rest of the country.
arnold Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 My First that I do remember, the Mario 3 figures the best? The Mcformers All I remember having were the Milkshake, Fries and some of the burgers, they were awesome though.
EEVILMURRAY Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 The McDonalds Transformers and the Batman bike stuff was the memorable shit for me. Ah, the good old days, kitting your bike with a Joker horn, Batmobile water bottle and a little compartment for the handlebars. I think there was a light too.
Retro_Link Posted November 23, 2011 Author Posted November 23, 2011 (edited) the best? The Mcformers All I remember having were the Milkshake, Fries and some of the burgers, they were awesome though. Oh YES! I had one of the chips, one of the milkshakes and possibly the hotcakes! Edited November 24, 2011 by Retro_Link
Iun Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 the best? The Mcformers All I remember having were the Milkshake, Fries and some of the burgers, they were awesome though. Yes! I so wanted those, but at that time we weren't going to Canterbury (the nearest viable shopping town with a McDonalds) so I didn't even get ONE However, going to McDonald's was a test of will for me even as a five year-old: I hated the food SO EFFIN' MUCH, but there were toys... so I had to scarf down these horrible, dry Chicken McNuggets and those salty, glistening tubes of grease posing as chips just to get some crappy pull-back car. It was never, ever worth it.
Jimbob Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 I recall Batman toys they had in McDonalds when i was younger. Can't really remember what else i had in my old Happy meals. Had a few McDonald characters as well. Honestly, i can't remember. So many years ago indeed.
