Today, I will be blogging about one of my McDonald's Happy Meal toys during my childhood. As I remember, this is the first "series" of Happy Meal toys that I completed, probably because there are just four of them to collect.

| Released in 1997 |
I don't know if Happy Meal toys' value increases as time goes by, but for me this toy should have increased it's value for it is kept for 15 years! This was released in 1997 and I was 8 when I got it. Such a lucky toy to survive from the hands of an 8 year old.
Grimace as the "head" of the spaceship or the control part. - Sorry I don't really know the parts of a spaceship!
Ronald McDonald as the body part. Ronald has the most awkward position here. I bet it's not easy to be in that position for 15 years (and counting).
Hamburglar and Birdie at the lower part of the spaceship.
Ronald McDonald: Whoa! at last after 15 years I got to stand on my feet and not upside down!
Now I know the reason why Ronald's hair is red.
Hamburglar is quite a questionable character/mascot here. Why did they choose a burglar to represent the hamburger? And McDonald's is a place for children...
Of course, there's also Birdie! They were very creative in choosing her name LOL! I love birdie and McDonald's Fried Chicken :)
Grimace! He's really cute and my favorite McDonald's character too! But can anyone remind me what food he really represents??
If you'll notice his face is darker / yellowish. Probably it's because he's in that vehicle for quite a long time. Nice tanned face Grimace hahaha!
McDonald's family :)
I hope you like them.
Thanks for looking ;)

ReplyDeletei have never collected something from the McDonald’s Happy Meals -HM- (and not even the hamburgers have tempted me... i find them quite tasteless =/) although some HM toys could be interesting... fortunately there are a lot of tastes in the world of collecting and the amazing thing is that we can enjoy different stuff even if we are not used to them...
ReplyDeletei don’t know if i have any toy as old as yours but in that case i would consider it a treasure with a value far greater than its cost... =D
hi Chrisman. Thanks for visiting again. LOL I'm the opposite. I love McDonald's cheeseburger... though that's not the meal for the HM. Well as a kid I loved going to McDonald's LOL! I'm a McDonald's kiddo hahaha. - that just brought childhood memories back haha.
ReplyDeleteYeah I'm also surprised that this one is still here and complete with the parts after so many moving of furniture and house renovations.
I am very happy to share this childhood toy with you ;)
Thanks for the loyal visit as always ;)
.. and now I'm going to visit you too hahaha
