I remember going to Burger King as a kid and getting tubby custard along with a Lala plush keychain. I thought it was out of this world that tubby custard was real.

Then it was all ruined when my siblings told me it was vanilla pudding with pink food coloring.

>>5436533
>>5436598
dude, my dad got me both of these as christmas presents. Are they seriously from fast food joints?

>>5436598
Holy shit, I remember these.
>>5436601
I think they were from Taco Bell.

>>5436601

small packs of yu-gi-oh cards. i wanted them so badly. but my family never went to mcdonalds. and when at last we happened to make a visit, the offer had expired.
i was too polite to say anything to my parents, but i think my dad knew how much i was into yu-gi-oh, and how disappointed i was, since we drove past a mcdonalds every day to and from my elementary school, so one day about a week after the offer had expired, he asked my to take a trip with him to the grocery store, to help push the cart, and just as we were about to leave he pointed to a rack near the door and told me to pick out two packs of yu-gi-oh cards. it was like the world was suddenly a bright, shining place. i still have those cards carefully wrapped up somewhere, in their original foil.
My dad's a pretty nice guy.

>>5436601
OP is from the Happy Meals in 1999. I hope you're telling the truth.

>>5436627
oh hey, that reminds me of another situation: when i was in 5th grade, all my fellow students couldn't wait to get out of the classroom, but i hadn't had the eagerness to learn crushed out of me because i'd been encouraged in the idea that learning was fun at home for as long as i could remember, so i studied hard and always ended up having the answer whenever a teacher asked a question. one day one of my teachers brought in a box of harry potter posters, (i was a fanatic of the books back then, and felt like i'd never wanted anything so much in my life.) the deal was, the teacher asked a question, and whoever had the answer'd get a poster. repeat, until none were left. the entire class leapt up at once flailing their hands at every question, since even a wrong answer was awarded with a poster. i raised my hand higher with every question but was never called on, because i'd ever always been the only one to offer answers before this, & the teacher was happy the other kids were finally interested. at the end, some kids had two posters, and i was the only kid who'd not been called on. then class ended with the bell. my dad had come to pick me up, and asked what we'd done that day. i mentioned we'd had a contest for harry potter posters, but didn't want to be a downer when i was happy to see him, so left it there. he probably saw i'd come away empty handed, and knowing that the harry potter books were the first books that really got me into reading on my own, he must have done a little sneaking around, because the next day when i came to visit, (divorced parents, was visiting his house) he said he thought he'd seen something odd in my room, and i should run up and check. i opened the door to find a floor-to-ceiling colorfully painted harry potter poster pinned to my previously empty wall. just the one i'd been hoping for. it was a glorious feeling. i used to sit on the bed and just stare at the print with its carefully painted brushstrokes & whorls of color.

It'll be sad when he dies.

>>5436533

>>5436533
and these

>>5436707
Oh fuck yes.

>>5436707
Oh fuck yeah! I still have my Togepi one

>>5436702
yeah, it will. i no longer have any living grandparents, and though their passing really left a hole, i don't even know what i'll do when my parents kick it. guess i was just feeling a bit of nostalgia for dad-moments, since i've been living away from him for a long time so only see him a few times a year, anymore. but really kinda excited, because i'll be meeting him tomorrow at a bookstore and taking coffee with him tomorrow, in the city center. (we're both book-fanatics)
i can't change what'll happen in the future, but i can sure have some awesome silly times with him, as many as i'm able, right now (though we're both much too awkward to ever admit anything like that in those words to each other's faces)
cheers, anon

>>5436707
>them feels
Wish I would have kept those things

>>5436707
Still have all of those in a tub in my room.

It feels like time travel whenever i get bored and pull them out.

>>5436729

>>5436720
Mah niggas I still got dat golden polywhirl.

>>5436533
That looks way too advanced for a fast food toy. What place btw? Because McDs and BK usually don't feature so many moving parts.

>implosions

I dunno. Maybe I'm too old for 4chan...

>>5436991
I got the Spike one. Didn't care about the rest since Spike was the best.

>>5436707
>>5436714
>>5436533

I remember getting the batmobile and play with it like crazy when I was younger

Do places even give out toys anymore? Ever since that thing a few years ago about people getting uppity at McDonald's for luring in kids with toys I wouldn't be surprised if they were forced to stop. Hell even their commercials show 'health food' in the Happy Meals, like apple slices and milk. It's sad.

I really wouldn't call them toys but does anyone else remember the Back to the Future shades from Pizza Hut

These were great.

>>5437134
Fffffffuck these were the best, endless hours with these, good times.

>>5436991
>Ducky
>bitch tears
why /ck/....why.

>>5437128
Those were more than shades, you bojo! They gave you POWAH.

I had the ones with the little brims over the lenses, but I wanted the slick red/yellow ones.

i would have littlefoot still, that fucker was my best friend when i was a kid. Till my older brother threw him out the car window at 65 in the middle of iowa.....fuck my brother.

>>5436533
I remember the insanity I went through to complete the Inspector Gadget and the Megazord from McDonald's. Such good times.

>>5437150
Why didn't your parents go back and get him? :(

I also went crazy for these.

In Taiwan, you get these with your beer purchases.

In Taiwan, you get these with your beer purchases

>>5437158
wow, these are actually really nice. i'm surprised they'd give these out just for buying a fast food meal. i can see this easily becoming one of a little kid's favorite stuffed animals.

>>5437183
They're only little, smaller than a tennis ball

These tho

>>5437192
OH SHIT I HAD KRILLIN

oh shit I had krillin

>>5437176
thats hilarious and great

>>5437183
I passed them on to my little sister. I remember the one that took forever to get was the Burmese Mountain Dog. Easily my favorite line.

>>5437212
that's sweet, anon
i gave my younger sister stuffed animals too, so know the feel
(yeah, i can easily imagine it being rarer for some reason. maybe the greater number of color patches needed to sew it up.)

>>5437176
Is that a Zelda Hello Kitty? That's awesome.

>>5437253
Zelda, Snow White, Little Red Riding Hood, some sort of frog costume, a bunch of others. Picrelated.

For Valentine's Day and CNY, they had special editions of pairs of Dear Daniel and Hello Kitty.

Really, it wasn't just with the beer. You have to buy a certain amount of stuff, get stickers in exchange, and fill out a booklet with the stickers.

>>5437326
>>5437253

The fuck is from Legend of Zelda.
That is from Peter Pan!

>>5437352
Maybe so. The first thing I ( >>5437326 ) thought of when I saw it was Zelda, though, same as >>5437253

>>5437326
Oops, just noticed that the only Dear Daniel was for Valentine's Day. I guess both of the CNY ones were Hello Kitty.

>>5436533
the toys used to be badass...i have a corporate owned mcdonalds near me...and i always go in just to see all the toys, plates, ads, etc...from my years and the years before.

>>5436916
I already said it was a Happy Meal toy. Try reading the thread before replying next time.

>>5436916
>That looks way too advanced for a fast food toy.

That's because it's six toys put together.

>>5437096
I just so a commercial for new Spiderman Happy Meal toys, so they must still do them.

I remember I used to use the little table looking thing that came in the middle of the Pizza to have table matches with my toy wrestlers

they would never break tho

casper glow in the dark puppets from pizza hut

>>5436533
i miss these. I would buy them even as an adult.

Before they banned Kinder in the USA and made all the toys 1-piece figurines, they used to have these little chinese toys withl like 12 tiny pieces, and it was kind of hard assembling it - but after that you get a mini toy car that actually works (usually it was the kind you pulled back and let go and it would go forward)

not bad for a toy in a chocolate egg... ill tell you i was dissapointed when i saw what kind of "prizes" cracker jack gives out.. the horror.

I freaken loved playing with the tails toy when I was little, shooting it up in the air then either trying to catch it or shoot it with my super soaker 50. And then one day something broke inside of it and the string wouldn't retract anymore.

These 1988 Bambi toys. I was only 4 years old, but I still remember my parents and grandparents getting me multiple happy meals in order to finally get A BAMBI. I guess I was taking a break from Gumby, and it was just before the little mermaid hysteria.

>>5437157
>alcohol father
>hadnt had a drink in a solid 24 hours
yea he wasnt stopping for shit.

>>5437827
Maybe Stanny can help us resurrect our savior - Satan!

>>5437096
Yep. Went to McD's with a buddy recently, turns out he wanted to get all the MLP toys. They only pick one box of one toy now and give those out until they're exhausted, so there's no more begging for that one toy that's super awesome. Oh well.

>>5437915
>>5437908
Are these the best kid's meal toys? Probably.

>>5437798
From the thumbnail it looks like the tall one is flipping the bird

>>5437192
Oh yeah, these. These a hundred times these. Still got piccolo, vegeta, and Gohan

BK watches weren't from kids meals I don't think but still

>>5438420
Holy fuck those watches. I had the top row. I always wanted the bottom right.

>>5437060
>>5437134
>>5437804
Excellent.

>>5438450
I have that watch, i'll sell it to you.

>>5437915
Truly they were.... An Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

Collect n' Connect

>>5437908
>>5437915

These were and to this day still are the motherfucking best toys I ever got from a restaurant. I'm still pissed my mom threw out all my toys when I went to college.

>tfw i had pretty much every single toy in this thread

>>5439329
i still have this one

>>5439332
>mah nigga
so do i

Kids meals toys will never be the same. Do they even have them anymore?

>>5438420
Seeing that watch on the lower right brought back so many memories instantly. I can't remember if I had it or just wanted it though.

z bots promotion from burger king, i still have the blue and orange one somewhere

>>5439365
yes, i'll still shamefully get them if they have something i want, they just had mlp and skylander toys at mcdonalds, now its spiderman.

>>5439376
Faggot.

>>5439303

>tfw your parents never made you throw/give away anything

>tfw your parents respected your right to own property as a child and now you have plastic bins full of treasured old memories

Feels great.

Holy shit you guys just gave me a flashback to the time I got a Dick Tracy watch in my Happy Meal around the time that movie came out. Now we actually have watches with phones in them.

>>5436991

I'll be 30 in June.

There's quite a bit of us here.

>>5439377
fuck you kid, when theres a transformers promotion for the new movie you bet i'm buying some fuckin' happy meals.

>>5439411
I got these from TB when they had them.

These were my shit. Went to Taco Bell so many times to get a complete set.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-_JhJC94_M

>>5439423
i was just about to post those, so simple yet so awesome. anybody remember these faggots? even before the yo queero dog

>>5439433
>>5439423
lost hard on both of these

remember the Goosebumps toys at taco bell?

>>5439433

Indeed I do.

Taco playset was the best toy.

>>5439454
yep

>>5439397
>can video skype with qts in real time on the other side of the world on a phone

Give it 5 more years and they'll probably incorporate that into a watch too.

>>5437798
Pizza Hut did great puppets. I had one of the Eureeka's Castle ones when I was very, very little - either Eureeka or Batly, my memory is fuzzy.

I STILL have a Casper somewhere. I can't bring myself to get rid of it because I love the movie so damn much.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HhKrZQYsgM

Still the best Power Rangers movie toys released.

(I know these technically weren't Happy Meal toys because they were sold separately, but they are too amazing to not mention.)

>>5437929
>MLP toys
Dear God, the virus is spreading. Bring the cleansing fire.

>>5439751
It's at least the second time they've had them, too. I remember when the show first came out my friend got some, and that was like 3 years ago.

>>5439829

>my friend

You keep saying that, but I don't believe you.

This shit. This shit right here.

I remember BK used to have these rubber semi-circle toys that they gave out in their meals. They were an inch in diameter and you turned them inside out, but them on a surface, then they inverted and shot in the air.

Anyone know what these are called or remember them? Must have been over 20 years ago.

>>5440669
mahnugga

I collected them all!

>>5439376
>>5439361
These were fucking ace. I was obsessed with Z bots and Voids and that fucking shark car lasted years

>>5440787
>all sonic characters
>suddenly monkey ball

oh, sega

>>5439361
I had this one. I think I've still got bigger toy it was based on somewhere.

>>5440942
i also had this. did a pink tongue like thing pop out the front?

>>5437908

GOAT fast food toys

>>5440964
I think the McDonalds one just had it painted on, but the real deal popped out, yes. It was a little monster tongue with a mouth, like a xenomorph.

Now these bad boys were my absolute favourite, despite the fact it was near impossible to separate the pieces of the purple one.

>>5440978
These were always a disappointment to me. Looking forward to a toy and all you get is a storage container that is no fun. And they did them every year.

posted already?

>>5436601

My grandparents were the type to go to McDonalds every day after their morning walk, grab a coffee, read the paper, and bullshit with the other old farts. So I would usually get McDonalds toys in my stocking at Christmas.

They would buy entire sets and still give me regular presents, though. If that's all you got then that blows, anon.

Pic related, had the entire set of these Mini Streex and used to pretend they were F-Zero cars.

>tfw 90's kid thread

>>5441003

I loved all of their character cars.

The Fraggle Rock and Tiny Toons ones were also my favorites. And I still have a Spider-man and Venom one hanging around somewhere.

Anyone else sometimes eat food from places they went to as a kid just for nostalgia? I find myself eating pizza hut even though there's many local pizza joints where I live.

>>5441123

That's awesome! We used to get one every Monday for WCW Monday Night Nitro!!!!

>>5441131
>>5441131

>Not getting a Little Caesars Big! Big! Cheese before watching WWF Raw is War.

These were awesome.

>>5439433
I always thought that those two were supposed to be Catdog

Backstreet's back alright!

>>5441287

All this nostalgia is making me super emotional.

>>5441440
holy fuck I remember these

>>5441482
I started the thread because that terrible Matthew Broderick Inspector Gadget movie that inspired the toys was on HBO, and it brought me back to a better, simpler time in life. Now it's all just alcohol and bitter memories.

welp

>>5445605
HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's been years since I've seen these. I only remember having the carrot and eggplant.

>>5439563
I still have the blue ranger in my room somewhere. Those were amazing.

Not my image, but the only thing I currently have is the brown Carmen Sandiego bag. The spy kit was pretty good
