With apologies for missing the Last Airbender Happy Meal Toys (ComiCon got in the way, sorry), CT is fresh on the heals of the next uber cool kids meal toys from the Golden Arches – MARVEL HEROES. But hey, consider yourself lucky, that also means I missed the embarrassing Twilight Toys and now Cats and Dogs from Burger King (shame city). Anyway, here’s to all things Marvel …

Favorite Marvel characters enshrined into Happy Meal history include the Silver Surfer, Captain America, Hulk, Spiderman, Wolverine, Thing and Johnny Storm from Fantastic Four, and IronMan. And although they just look like your typical static action figure, these heros are ripe with action. Thing screams his iconic “It’s clobberin’ time” tag line while Captain America actually throws his cool shield. Spiderman can crawl up metal surfaces, while Iron Man “flies” along the ground after being pulled back and let go. Johnny Storm (aka the Human Torch) glows when turned on, and Hulk actually slams his fists together. Unfortunately, Silver Surfer is the only one who doesn’t do much other than detach from his surf board. Maybe for hanging 5 perhaps?

For Girls, Ronald McDonald is offering Littlest PetShop toys whiuch include cuddly little pet toys in matching baskets.

And after the Marvel universe, DC gets a shot with BATMAN toys while girls get Madame Alexander doll miniatures.

Hat Tip – AFI
