Huckleberry Toys Mcdonaldland Characters

[Sbznpoe]

Just wanted to let everyone know that currently a user by the name of toymom21957 on eBay is selling off the remainder of the special San Diego Comic Con exclusive sets at very reasonable prices. If anybody missed out on these Huckleberry Toys (Series I) sets, you have a chance to get them now. Of course these were limited editions. I purchased 2 carded and 1 boxed figure to patch my existing damaged set I bought as a pre-order when these first came available, and I can assure you these are in awesome condition and she ships very, very carefully so you get them minty fresh. Anyway, you can buy many of the figures individually, (supplies are getting low). Or you can get either the common carded sets of 5 figures, (I think these were limited to 250 sets), or the common + variants set of 10 figures, (The 5 common + 5 classic costume variations of Hamburglar, Mayor McCheese and Captain Crook - I think these were limited to 100 sets). I've seen the interest everyone showed here over these figures in the past and I just wanted to make sure you were all aware of this unique opportunity. FYI. After monitoring eBay ever since Huckleberry launched and ultimately cancelled this line due to a licensing dispute with McDonald's, and toymom21957 is the first and only eBayer to hit the site with these carded variant figures. If interested, I'd suggest you hurry before they're gone. As of this posting there are currently more than 10 sets of each assortment available at between $34.95 (5 set) to $69.95 (10 set) and plenty of carded common and variant single figures too $7.95 if you like just certain characters. As we will never see Series II. and III. as we were promised, this is a rare opportunity.

Hi,

So is there any update on these series 2 and 3? It was mentioned in this thread that someone from this company wants to try to release the rest of the series sculpts. Will this ever happen? I was hoping the line up listed above would happen but now I see the figures are in Big Lots and Ollie’s so I assume that’ll never happen. :(

I also wish a wave 4 could happen with Speedee and the Apple pie tree but I don’t know who the other two characters could be unless they brought 4 armed Grimace into the series line up. Maybe even the McHottie from Japan? (She’s a female Ronald) I’d love to have a complete McDonaldland cast. The series 1 figures are great.

By the way, if you have an A.C. Moore craft store nearby they now have sculpted erasers of knock off McDonald's food that look to be in scale of these. The Shake has an "S" on it rather than an M and the red fry box is blank but it's clear what these are supposed to be. There's a burger too. I haven't got any yet but plan to go later this week. They seem a bit high at a dollar a piece and I was hoping they'd come down.

The Four Armed "Evil" Grimace was made by Huckleberry Toys. It was a SDCC 2008 Exclusive limited to 500 pieces. Here is the pic from my collection. As for Wave 2 that was supposed include Big Mac, Professor, Birdie , and the Fry Guys/ Gals. Wave 3 was supposed to include Uncle O'Grimacey, Cosmc, A Newer Version Ronald, Mac Tonight , and Iam Hungry. Sadly the licenmse expired and the last I heard is that wave 2 and 3 have been shelved. Brian at Huckleberry Toys stated he hopes to still do these , but at this time it not on the drawing board unless they can renew the license cheaply. I know this is a bummer, as it would have been cool to see wave 2 and 3. Anyways at least Big Mac and professor can be acquired via the original Remco line.

I knew they had released a 4 armed Grimace, I was just saying maybe adding him to the boxed line could help pad out a 4th series to get Speedee added.(I’d love to get one but 45.00 including shipping is a bit high for me.) I’d also seen those series line ups earlier. My question with Grimace is why they didn’t do a happy faced variant as well since the other characters had variants.

How do these look with the Remco ones? I haven’t sought them out because I think these updated versions look better and my luck would be I’d buy the originals only to have them release the shelved waves soon after.

They must not have been a big seller or else the other series wouldn’t have been shelved. Such a shame. I’d hadn’t been excited about a figure line since the Muppet line of about 10 years ago.

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.

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.

[Christmas_Boy]

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?
