I had always meant to get around to finishing off the collection, but never did, because there are umpteen-gazillion other toys and collectibles that call to me and cause me to have the collector's attention span of a puppy in a kiddie pool full of squeaky balls.
But thanks to Brian's Box of Plenty that he recently sent me (thanks again, Brian!), I've now been able to add a few more to collection...
Da-da da da daaaah! I'm lovin' it!
Check out those awesome little robots disguised as a quarter pounder, a milkshake, a small fries and the paint variation of the new large fries.
I love these toys to no end. I'm not so stoked about the later dinosaur versions, but I am totally re-energized in my efforts to hunt down the rest of the robot series.
And if any of you are sick of me blogging about the stuff Brian sent me, too bad. That box was full of awesomeness, so buckle in. ;)
I love these things!Iv meant for years to get all the guys Im missing.You should get the Heinz Ketchup H57 Burger Blaster spaceship to display with them.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what you're talking about. I'm off to Google! Then probably eBay!
DeleteI scored a few of these recently. My folks never got me Happy Meals as a kid, so I have been slowly tracking down the toys I never had, take that Mom & Dad!
ReplyDeleteJeeze. No happy meals?! You poor kid.
DeleteI collect these as well(both the robots & dinosaurs). I don't see them often, but I'll grab the ones I need. Most people sell them for a quarter, so they're an easy sell(better for us collectors). There was a time at the tail end of the eighties, that my brother and I found one almost everyday for a week straight discarded in the grass or in a gutter in the Bronx(we lived in Westchester County by this time). I can't explain it, but we were happy to find them. Looks like you need the Hotcakes and the ice cream cone. Nice collection Reis!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jason! yeah, these go for pretty cheap at toy shows. I should be able to finish off this collection pretty quickly.
DeleteI came across a couple of these things in a box of my old junk a few years ago (http://mattandtimfunny.blogspot.com/2010/07/mcdonalds-changeables.html). They currently sit on a shelf between E.T. and John Starks.
ReplyDeleteNice, TL!
DeleteYou have 2/3rds of Aqua Teen Hunger Force, nice. I vaguely remember these things when I was a kid, may have owned two or three.
ReplyDeleteOh god, I hope they never made a Meatwad. I hate that thing.
DeleteHa, those are crazy. Hamburgers that transform into... are those robots? Most of them look like furniture.
ReplyDeleteAwesome.
Ha! They do look a little like furniture!
DeleteI have always thought these were fun! Congrats on them Reis. : )
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jboy!
DeleteI knew it. We're doomed.
ReplyDeleteHow so?
