Burger King & McDonalds figures

[ludevig]

I have noticed that Burger King and Mcdonalds have had some really good figures in the past few years. I personally like the He-Man, Transformers, Incredibles, Shrek figures that have come out. The recent releases in the past few years blow away the toys from when i was a kid.
Just want to see what you guys think about them, do any of you collect them etc?

I don't collect the fast food premiums,although I do have some of the MOTU figures that were put out a few years back. I also have one of the Arby's Loony Tunes characters(Bugs Bunny)that I believe were put out in the 80s. I read an article in White's Guide about fast food premiums and I guess that Arby's set is a difficult one to complete.

Didn't Wendys rock the Go Bots back in the childhoods of yesteryear. Those at least should compete with these new fangled premiums.

I love 'em! I have some of the Wendy's Go-Bots, a lot of TF's, and some GI Joes. The VvV Cobra Commanders are my army builders, so if you have any of them or his accessories, hit me up! Also looking for the Energon TF's from McDonalds. They were only released in Europe. I need Optimus, Megatron and Ironhide. I think I have all the Joes except Snake Eyes and Duke....

Burger King did some great Universal Monsters figures in the 90's

And there's Creature Crypts from Taco Bell / KFC

My son has 5 of the Spiderman toys from McDonalds and they are pretty cool looking. Doctor Octopus is especially awesome when fully assembled. He has Venom, Sandman, Green Goblin, Spiderman and Doctor Octopus. Quite a neat little line of figures overall and really fun.
It was through McDonalds that my son got into Transformers from when they did the Transformers Animated set of 6 figures.
Who would have thought McDonalds would be the reason for someone getting really into something (other than hospital due to the food)
