I mean everyone loves Donatello if only for the original NES game where he was just the absolute best. All the other turtles were really just extra HP bars and pink seaweed bait.

So jealous. I do not have the money for most of those, haha.

But also, take them out of the box, you dweeb.

Wait, does he not have Spock Donatello? Because weak, dude.

mcdonalds are doing a happy meal theme of things that children mostly won’t remember

During buttcon!

Yeah but it will get parents to buy more happy meals!

loki · October 30, 2019, 8:05pm

definitely! though it’s no good for nostalgic adults without kids, since the amount of food in a happy meal is puny.

also i just remembered “big bag”, which was like a happy meal for teenagers they tried in the late 90s. i think you got like a ps1 demo or something?

Jesus right in the nostalgia.

I had some of these. God, this is targeted at my exact childhood.

Fuck.

THE TRANSFORMING CHEESEBURGER, part of the best happy meal toyline ever made. God damn.

I had the transforming fries!----which was like, a fry dinosaur?!

loki · October 30, 2019, 8:15pm

i had a chicken nuggets container that turned into a dinosaur

LaurelSoup · October 30, 2019, 9:34pm

As a kid, I was totally disappointed that those transforming dinosaurs couldn’t hold a candle to the transforming robots.

A couple weeks back, at a wedding everyone got talking about their favorite robots, and mine was the transforming McDonalds cup. He looks so happy!

oh im getting that burger and red ranger

stavekoff · October 30, 2019, 10:13pm

is this the model kit thread

LaurelSoup · October 30, 2019, 10:22pm

Those Power Ranger figures originally hit kind of late for me but I still took notice at how nice those were. The official toys at the time were those clunky out of scale with anything else you might have things, but the Happy Meal ones were decent straightforward sculpts and on scale with Star Wars figures.

Yeah the Power Ranger toys were like actual, decent action figures. They had a couple of super hero lines which were similarly good. I think I still have a Hulk figure floating around, from McDonald’s.
