Mario toys hitting McDonalds Happy Meals again

[VR46]

Few different toys over a six week period.

Nintendo has teamed up with McDonald's to include a range of Mario toys in Happy Meals from next week.

Figurines featuring Mario, Luigi, Donkey Kong, Toad and Yoshi will be available from 19th March until 29th April, Nintendo UK revealed today.

Several of the toys will be interactive, including Mario's Hovering Coin, the Donkey Kong Barrel Projector, a Super Sound Mushroom and Mario's Warp Pipe Embosser.

There's a healthy message behind the range, too - a "Run, Jump and Power-Up with Super Mario" promotion that will encourage children to be active as well as eat fries.

Nintendo president Satoru Iwata recently announced a new push to be more open in licensing the company's characters in order to maximise their exposure

Man, we get this **** ALL THE TIME in Japan. It's so common it's not even special. Pokemon fans would love Mc. over here too. They are always doing something to do with Pokemon. Here's this week's happy meal stuff.

Importaku should not look because they'll have Yokai Watch French fries holders soon.

Is that little brown mouse thing a Pokemon?

[wakka]

Yeah it's a Dedenne.

[Dogg Thang]

I'm so out of touch.

[Yakumo]

There are so many Pokemon things now. It wasn't on TV this week guess the series has ended until they rehash the stories for the next series

[wakka]

I'm so out of touch.

You loser! It is much more normal for me as a grown man to know that :l

[Anpanman]

We don't really do Mac but I think I'm right in saying that in Japan you can choose which toy you want.

[VR46]

You normally can in UK if you ask nicely and they have them in stock. They only seem to stock one or two toys at a time for some reason though.
