Real cool idea. But mostly 90s toys, sadly. I'm guessing probably because of safety law changes. I would have loved to have seen some of their popular 80s promotions like Smurfs or Astrosniks.

Happy Meal 40th anniversary retro toys Nov 7-Nov 11.
You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...Tags: None -
Hmm...interesting mix. Maybe it's because my kids have outgrown them, but I don't feel like Happy Meal toys are nearly as well-made or elaborate as they were from the late 80s through a decade or so ago.
And I didn't see a Ronald there. Has McDonald's backed off of his use due to the pervasive "evil clown" stigma?

That does stink they couldn't have doing something with STTMP. That was their first big promotion, after all. The whole thing is really disappointing to be honest. So many popular and iconic promotions were over looked.You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion.

One of my happiest memories is going to see ST TMP around the holidays at Great Oaks Twin Cinema with Dad, near the grocery where he was a dept. manager. And going to McDonald's before the show to get that Happy Meal. I got a sort of wrist communicator IIRC.WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.Comment

I don't remember TMP, but I clearly recall having to go to Taco Bell for Search For Spock glasses.
Nothing will ever beat Burger King Star Wars. The artwork for those glasses are untouchable.
I'm with Hedji the BK Universal Monsters are the best. Jack In The Box has done Universal Monsters at least twice. One was a variant of the BK line, the other was from 02!
This is a great pic. I had never seen the display before.Attached FilesComment

Thank you for posting the Jack in the Box sets, i did not know of the second one and now I need the Phantom in his gondola. The seated version is a kazoo IIRC, I have that one.WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.Comment

Actually, the best fast food kids meal toy award goes to Burger King for their Universal Monsters figures of the late 90s. Sorry, Ronald.

i have a loose Drac missing his cape and a loose werewolf, no coffin and no...shed? Outhouse? Moving crate? And one bagged Creature left. Drac currently has a Kenner style black vinyl cape with armholes which is how I remember the Remco mini monster being made too. Top notch figures.Comment
