Wendy’s Kids Meals go to the Center of the Earth

The latest entry into the summer movie happy meal toy competition comes from Wendy’s who has 5 toys from the 3D adventure flick Journey to the Center of the Earth.

The toys include a special code book which can only be read with a special blue flashlight (this was also done with Burger King’s Indiana Jones toy collection). Next comes a tyrannosaurus rex dinosaur with an articulating jaw for munching on those Wendy’s burgers, a glow in the dark bird finger puppet, a postcard collection depicting scenes from the movie, and finally, a 3D skull viewer that shows other scenes from the film and reminds me of the Viewmaster I had as a kid. Kids can also go online to Wendys.com and download coloring book pages depicting exciting scenes from the film.

Based on the Jules Verne classic, the movie chronicles a family on a hiking trip ,who fall into a deep sink hole and discover an unknown and frightening world at the center of the earth. The movie stars Brandon Frazier of “Mummy” fame.

I am looking to purchase the Wendy’s kids meal glow in the dark blue bird toy. Can you direct me how to do this?

Thanks!

Since the promotion is long gone, I’d recommend eBay.
