If you were a child of the late 80s/early 90s like me, it was hard to avoid the Micro Machines commercials. I had quite a few, including the awesome fold-out city in a bus (which I can’t seem to find online). Tiny cars and trucks are cool and all, but they don’t compare to tiny robots and their ginormous compandres. Even though I didn’t own very many Z-Bots, I was a big fan.
Well, the release of the epicly-hyped film Avatar is just around the corner. For better or worse, I’m going to see the movie at my local IMAX theater on Friday. I previously told you about the cool Avatar Toys that I unfortunately haven’t had a chance to play with yet, but today I bring you something new: Avatar Happy Meal Toys.
I didn’t have any nieces or nephews handy when I saw these at my local McDonald’s, so I haven’t picked any up yet, but they will be mine. Whether it’s great or a dud, you can’t deny the impact Avatar will have on the nostalgia of 2009, so the Avatar Happy Meal Toys have earned their place on my junk shelf.
Head over to the official Happy Meal website (weird) to check out more and download the one-size-doesn’t-fit-all Avatar Happy Meal Toy Wallpaper.
Oh, and how often do PG-13 movies get Happy Meal toys?

Starting tomorrow, Sideshow Collectibles is making their second TMNT Comiquette available for preorder, and it’s eveybody’s favorite grouch, Raphael. These tend to go quickly, so if you want one you should probably preorder as soon as possible.
Get ready for more TMNT related awesomeness out of NECA, makers of the why-don’t-I-own-you-yet action figures. Next month they are releasing limited edition TMNT BATSU urban vinyl figurines.
I haven’t quite hopped on the cute urban toy bandwagon yet, but these may be a great place to start. Each figure comes with it’s signature weapon and even has some articulation. Dibs!
Thanks to Space Monkey X for the tip.
