McDonald's Madagascar 2


I like to move it, move it!

The song is synonymous with this hilarious movie, which according to reviews, is great family entertainment! And this time around, the same toy line is coming out as that of the Philippines'. The figures have no points of articulation, but voice out their movie lines when they are moved.

Jollibee's Streetfighter II


Oooh this is nice. Toys from the Street Fighter II series! Reminds me of the "old" PS1 and PS2 days when played Street Fighter for hours and memorized the moves. There are three characters to collect: Ryu, Blanka, and Ken. They are more than just toys for display, however. They are fancy school accessories too. Erasers, pencils, notepads. Very cool.

McDonalds' Endangered Animals


McDonalds' Happy Meal in New Zealand currently features Endangered Animals with the cooperation of the Australia Zoo. The toys themselves are part of a bigger effort for kids to learn more about these animals that need our protection. The happy meal site (happymeal.co.nz) shares fascinating information about the featured animals.

I am not happy with the toy, though. We had the red-tailed black cockatoo. It was a small stuffed toy. Not much you can do with it. Jo-Lo has also set it aside after just a few minutes of holding on to it.

Jollibee's Justirisers and Lil' Bratz


The Justirisers is composed of three characters with special powers akin to the Power Rangers.  Essentially, this is Japanese concept is being bought by a US company for rights to produce and air these Japanese-inspired costumed heroes.  I have seen a couple of episodes of Justirisers from Cartoon Network, and it is reminiscent of the Masked Riders.

I assume the Lil' Bratz are fashion accessories for girls.  The Bratz franchise comes from a line of dolls that are radically different from the Barbies with their perfect figures and dainty clothes.
