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.

McDonald's Ben10 and PowerPuff Girls


McDonald's is currently offering Ben10 action figures. There are three to choose from, each with a solid color (red, blue, or yellow). I'm not familiar with the transformations Ben makes but I can recognize the one with four arms.

The figures are made of translucent plastic and are rather sturdily built. But there are only three points of articulation: the head and the arms but I guess kids don't care much for articulation. :-). The toys look nice and detailed though, with a photo of Ben inside.

I think the toys for the girls look nicer. They're the lovable PowerPuff Girls! I just might try to buy some for collecting purposes.
