Just in time for August, McDonald's has released some summer sports-themed SpongeBob SquarePants Happy Meal toys. More info on the toys can be found here: http://www.happymeal.com/en_US/#/Toys

The commercials suck, but I kind of want a toy. I collect stuff like that.

I agree. The toys look fun.

Figurines are awesome!

I can't wait to see the look on the employees' faces when I tell them I want a Kids Meal with nothing but the toy. XDDD

I've been collecting pictures of the toys, boxes, other packaging and advertisements. I'll post some of them here once I've organised them a little more. The employees have to wear Spongebob hats and they have big Spongebob stickers in the windows. :P

Lol fencing Mr. Krabs. I want that one!

Was messing around out of the house today with some friends. We went to McDonalds. After seeing those advertisements outside the place, I knew this was a one-time opportunity. I had to get one of those toys, bro. :P I had to order a Mighty Kids Meal and get a burger smaller than the size of my fist, but it was worth it. :lol: Some pics included below. I put them in spoiler tags because they're absolutely huge:

Just the posters outside the McDonald's:

If you look closely, you can see me taking the picture in the reflection from the window. I look like such a nerd, haha :P

A pic of the toys in the display case:

A pic of the packaging. Here, it was just a generic Spongebob face.

On the other side, there were some cutouts.

Also, according to McDonalds, PatBob is canon. :P "I love you Spongebob!" indeed. And, the event everyone hasn't been waiting for.....THE TOY! Lifting two, count em', two.........Marshmallows.

Seriously though, I liked how it was a toy reference to Ripped Pants. The toy itself was just a cheap wind-up, but it was still pretty cool. Wait, what's this? Spongebob is about to lift the marshmallows? Let's watch this momentous occasion!

Oh. Guess not. :P

Yeah, just thought I would share that with you guys. Sadly, I didn't see any of the employees wearing Spongebob hats like DMAP mentioned. It would've been awesome, though.

EDIT: I love how the SB logo is pink in that promo :P

 

[DadMom AngryPants]

Haha, I was going to say something about "I love you Spongebob" when I saw your picture but you beat me to it. :P

Thanks for getting the pictures, Jibbix! Really cool.
Anybody else notice that are using really nice promo art for this promotion? Less of that "ugly off-model 3D Spongebob" stuff.

Some more pictures:

Man, they really want people to know they have Spongebob toys.

wait DadMom works at McDonalds?

Nope, DadMom found the images on Twitter. :)

Ah, Twitter ... what would I do without you.

 

[Box And Company]

Oh I get it now.

Maybe I've been away from Nickelodeon and/or McDonalds for too long, but who are the characters in that ad that aren't Spongebob? Kinda looks like Klasky Csupó (Rugrats, Ahh Real Monsters, Rocket Power, etc.) animation.

I think they're just the characters that McDonald's uses to advertise Happy Meals now.

Ah okay, thanks, DMAP.

Maybe I'll see if the Mickey D's near me will give me a toy with a coffee purchase

I doubt it. Almost every toy company thinks that they can get more money by basing it off of Spongebob.

Are the toys free? If that's the case, they won't get much more money from older fans.
