    Thought I would share some vintage McDonaldland love... I have the originals carded and loose (and the play set included for them):

      great collection. I always just miss on getting the playset.
      Fresh, not from concentrate.

        Out of curiosity, how much did these figures and the playset retail for when they were new? I was born in 1980 and remember Star Wars type action figures being 1.99. Now they’re around 10.00. In the 90’s larger action figures were 3.99 and now they’re closer to 20.00 but a whole lot better in sculpting.

        A playset just ended on Ebay the other day. I would have probably bid if I knew it were complete. I bought the McDonadland Bobble Heads instead to get Officer Big Mac. I could have sworn I've seen a Speedy Bobble head but I can't find one online.


        Speaking of McDonaldland, have any PVCs of the characters ever been offered? I saw a Grimace on Ebay that looked great but I’m not sure where he was from. He wasn’t from the Halloween run of the late 90’s and that was the only series of PVCs I’m aware of.

          Brand new the vintage Remco figures were $3.77 and the play set $19.87 if you ordered them through the Sears Christmas catalog. However my examples were marked down from Kmart at $1.97 a figure.

            That seems about right. I remember the Disney playsets in the 90's ranged from 10.00 to 30.00.


            Would it be possible to do a hi-res scan of the box so we collectors know a complete playset when we see it?

              I've got some more pics of the box and the contents set up. I'll post them so you'll have those pics as reference.

                Wow, seeing those brings me back to the good ol days of Mcdonald commercials.

                Makes me wonder why they quit using the characters on the ads?????

                  Sid and Marty Kroft sued them and won. You can find tons of articles about this online. My question is if that's the case why are these figures allowed? I'd love to see them bring McDonaldland back but since they're being sued for enticing children to become fat from such ads I highly doubt it'll happen. The figures are the next best thing.

                      Jason - Who is that character on your avatar? Is that the guy who used to air on ABC and sing about the digestive system similar to school house rock? I've been trying to find out what his name is for years so I can find the cartoons. There was also one about jobs I can't find either. Thanks!

                          I just discovered the plans for series 2 & 3, and did a search to see what had happened to those plans in recent years. Thanks everyone who was digging Huckleberry's McDonaldland toys for relaying all the news and updates on this line! It's a bummer we didn't see the rest.

                                Anyone know if anybody previously involved with this line or previously interested in the license is still interested? Such a shame these were never produced...
