      I wondered about that, too, so I googled it. Never heard of Cactus Buddy. Here's what it says::

      Each meal comes with either a Big Mac or 10-piece McNuggets, as well as fries and a drink. Inside the box, customers will also find one of four figurines — including Grimace, Hamburglar and Birdie — each created in the image of Cactus Buddy, the four-eyed smiley-face mascot for Cactus Plant Flea Market. Cactus Buddy, too, is among the four available figurines.

        The characters look a bit different, however, and bear more resemblance to Cactus Buddy — the four-eyed, smiling mascot for Cactus Plant Flea Market. The box has also been redesigned in the brand’s “signature style,” alongside McDonald’s Golden Arches, according to the release.

          All these "art" things going on with classic mascots is leaving me cold, like the Monster Cereals. I think they either overestimate the popularity of the artists, or the vin diagram of crossover between old fanboys who care about old McDonald characters and monster cerals and "hip" stuff like this is pretty limited.

          Or maybe I'm just grumpy this morning.

            After looking at high rez images I think the extra set of eyes can be scrapped off and maybe repainted. When my McD gets them in I will see what can be done. I am just surprised that there is no Ronald McDonald figure.

              Yeah, I'm not feeling that. The extra set of eyes kills them for me. And I agree on the Monster Cereals boxes. You look forward to them all year and then the classic art is just ruined on them. What a bummer.

              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...

                Grumpy two. I didn't have any idea what Cactus Plant Flea Market was until I G'd it. Did not interest or impress me at all.

                I haven't seen any of the monster cereals yet this year, what did they do to them?

                    I try not to be that old "get off my lawn" dude, but I just looked at the updated Monster Cereals and they looked kind of stupid. To me. Which I am sure these are not for anyway. Same with the McDonald's figurines because when I saw them, I just didn't understand. And now that I know what they are and based off, I still don't understand.

                          Ok I went to a McDonalds today and the meals are around $10 but here is the kicker, the toys are in blind bags and if you open them they will not take them back. The store I was at got feed-up with a customer who keep trying to feel the difference even though she bought 4 meals. The figures themself are big but made of hollow plastic so if you managed to scrape the extras set of eyes off you probably ruined the figure.

                          I still want a set but I will wait till the fever on ebay goes away and the prices go way down. If I miss out oh well.

                            The Monster Cereal art and these new McD figurines seem to be of a parcel. It is sort of like the artists said "I can't do original art so I'm just going to trace an existing piece and then...I don't know...crap on it." I don't get the really crappy crossbones on the Monster heads but that is that guys ...thing. and the really sketchy looking outlines...

                              I don't know who this is for, but it's not for me. From my perspective, they've overestimated the popularity of this "Cactus Plant Flea Market". But who knows, maybe it's hugely popular, and I'm more out of touch than I even realize.

                              If it's for an audience out there that digs it, more power to you. No harm, no foul.
