tikistitchSo, Boneboy made a special guest appearance at Casa de Tikistitch last night, helping us cheer the cute USA swimmer boys on to victory, plus, of course, he brought over some Toy Goodness:
Yes, the new McDonalds Star Wars Happy Meal set. For you dollie people in the crowd scratching your heads over what the fuss is about, these toys created a bit of a buzz in the collector community, as, though there have definitely been Star Wars fast food promotions in the past, this is the first time Ronald McDonald has gotten his gloved hands on the license.
And, well...they're fucking weird, dude.
We're thinking they're supposed to be chibi, like that last set of Burger King toys a few years back.
But it comes off looking like they've taken several beloved Star Wars characters, decapitated them, and then stuck the detached heads onto smaller versions of the vehicles.
Kinda like Mars Attacks! Which is fine, only, weren't these toys actually meant not for us and Boneboy but rather for teensy children?
To make matters even more disturbing, the toys also have action figures. Like, the AT-At will slowly creep, Night of the Living Dead-style, across the floor. And Yoda, he talks. Or rather, he whispers dark warnings!!
May the force be with you - or else!!!!
Thankyou, George Lucas. Thankyou for haunting our dreams!!!

Date: 2008-08-16 09:50 pm (UTC)Strange seeing licenses getting a mix up at the fast food stops.
McD's gets Star Wars from BK, and BK gets Neopets from McD's...
