5th Gen Pokemon coming to McDonalds outside of Japan.

[Red1530]

Oh another one, that's good. It's been a while since there was a Pokemon Event at McDonalds, after the Gen 4 versions were released I think? Got myself a Manaphy that time.

Odd, I don't recall a Pokémon promotion at McDonald's in the past six years.

 

[CptSwaggerPants]

Heck yes! I just got $100 dollars for my birthday and guess what I am spending most of it on??

I already got most of the figurines from Target though but I'll still play with them, I've been playing with the others non-stop.

Best news all day :,)

 

[Osha_say_wott?!]

I want the Oshawott toy. xD Looks like Imma eat me some pink paste. :cer_tongue: I think they missed an opportunity to have the Osha toy be one of those toys you fill up with water by squeezing it. It'd be like he was using Water Gun. Out of all the toys, I'm liking Zorua's pouncing action the best. I wanna get that one, too. *pounce* *pounce*

 

[Hooh]

Oh, and now that the details on the toys are out, I'm really disappointed with Reshiram and Zekrom, it would have been awesome if their tails lit up.

Still, I'll get the toys.

....

You are all fools if you think you'd sacrifice your dignity and 1% of your health for a Pokemon toy.... by McDonalds

If anyone is a fool it is you for not knowing you can buy the toy alone.

New Pokemon Black and White toys comming this summer!

With a new generation comes not only new ways to play and collect, but new ways to... well, play and collect!

First we have the Reverse Pokeball Plushies. These plushies can go from Pokemon Plush into a plush pokeball. The Snivy plush stands about 11.2 inches tall. Retail price on Toys R' Us is $15.99 (online)

Here is the Mini plush (Left) and Soft Pokeball (right). The term "Mini Plush" is self explanitory: a 5 inch plush, making it about half the size of the Reverse pokeball plushes. The soft pokeballs are various pokeballs that follow the designs of pokeballs used in the game/anime: (From left to right as seen on the box) Dusk Ball, Safari Ball, Dive Ball, PokeBall, Heal Ball, and Repeat Ball. They are soft as they resemble a Nerf-Ball like quality. There is no retail price for any of these yet. Last gen. Mini-Plushies retailed for $5.99.

Reduced: 89% of original size [ 766 x 558 ] - Click to view full image

The Throw Ball Plush (Left) and the Unova Pokedex (Right). Both of these are Black and White remakes of Pokemon Toys dating back to the first generation. The Throw Ball Plush is a small plush (around 2 inches) that fits inside a plastic pokeball with a keychain. The Pokedex (in its first form) held data on all the pokemon that could be looked up at any time. The concern with the Unova pokedex is that it only contains data on 75 of the 153 new Unova Pokemon. Also new with the latest PokeDex's are mini games that can be played on the 8-bit screen. The Throw Ball plush (in it's earliest form) went for $10. The Pokedex (in its first form) went for around $25 (if I remember right).

This is new to the Pokemon Toy empire. These are deluxe figures of the Legendary Pokemon Zekrom (in the box) and Reshiram. These have been seen before, as a $10 item at the Pokemon Black and White tour several months ago. These figures feature moveable legs , arms, and wings. It is unknown if they will be more expensive than they were at the tour. PRICE EDIT: They are sold on Toys R Us for $13.99 each.

(EDIT: Upon closer inspection, these are not the same figures one could have gotten at the B/W tour back in Feb/March. They are made of a different material and have parts that move slightly differently to the ones at the tour.)

The single and triple pvc figure packs are classics since the dawn of the franchise. These figures stand about an 1 to 1.5 inches tall, and are exceptionally detailed. These figures have no moveable parts, so they are more just for looks. An old single pack ran for about $4, while a triple pack ran for up to $10.

Not only do we have these amazing figures (The ones that are out can only be found on ebay and Toys R Us) McDonalds is stepping up in the 5th generation to give us some awesome happy meal toys!

Remember the late 90's when Pokemon was mega popular and can be found everywhere you went? Back then, fast food restaurants such as KFC and Burger King offered special Pokemon merchandises such as figures, plushies and cards with a purchase of a kid's meal. If you were a fan back then, then there's a good chance that you probably still have some of those figures and plushies lying around in your house. With the recent success of Pokemon Black and White in North America and around the world, McDonald's has teamed up with TPCi to offer exclusive Pokemon figures and cards with a purchase of their Happy Meals!! Very smart move on McDonald's part because Pokemon is as hot as ever again! I can't wait to see how the figures and cards look like! :D

The toys will be available at all participating North American McDonalds starting June 17, and running to July 7th.
The figures will be as follows:
Pikachu- Cheeks will light up when you press its tail
Snivy- Push it foreward its head will move down.
Oshawott- Bobblehead
Tepig- Press its back to make its tail light up
Zorua- ??? (EDIT: Push down on Zoruas tail; release and he will pop up)
Zoroark- Moveable arms and waist
Reshiram- Moveable arms and legs
Zekrom- Moving arms and wings.

Here is the image of all of the available B/W toys on McDonalds.com. You can click on each of the toys on the website to see how they move.

Also, all of the McDonalds toys come with 1 of 12 trading cards.

Movin' this on over to BW! [for a time being. :3]

 

[Raven Valt]

The Japanese pokemon shops all ready have all this.. I went there on holiday last year and all the Diamond and pearl was Out like 3 months before anywhere else, Got me some cute Torterra Teddy :)

 

[Ho-Oh]

With a new generation comes not only new ways to play and collect, but new ways to... well, play and collect!

Although your thread covered toys in general, your thread mentioned the McDonalds promotion, which users would mostly comment upon. Plus, getting all the toys, if people really want them... well, as you said, every generation has new toys, so if users really wanted them, they could locate them. Not only that, but those who post would just say along the lines of "oh cool I didn't know we could get them" and not really create discussion. This way, users can comment upon the McDonalds promotional toys, and also discuss other B/W toys in the sense of if there are too many toys released with the games or not, or anything else along those lines. Plus, as a thread on its own, it seems more along the lines of advertising the toys and can't really lead to much discussion.

Thank you for telling me why you moved it, I was a bit confused.

 

[Katja]

I really want the zorua and zoroark one. :)

 

[Zelda]

Oh ya, a time to eat unhealthily 4 Pokémon. :B I don't plan on doing so, but it'd be some entertainment to see 19 year olds and whatnot walk in and order a Happy Meal.

You don't have to get the Happy Meal if you really don't want to. You can get the toy separately; all you have to do is ask. My husband and I have done this whenever there's a Transformer based Happy/Kid's Meal. It helps a lot as I can't stand most of Mickie Dee's food based products.

Me, I'd like to get that Reshiram and Oshawott. Those are cute. As for the others, I really don't know; I may pick them up if I have the cash. But that Pikachu is outright skippable in my eyes.

 

[Nickmonster]

Collectors will most likely get those. For the card and figure.

 

[Portos]

How come they dont make these events in EU ?

 

[Soraine]

I wish they were doing that in the UK.
Even if it were to, it's just a shame I'm vegetarian and not a big fan of fast food.

Or I'd just buy my boyfriend the meal, and take the toy for myself >8D

Anyone know whether this may follow onto the UK? I hope so.

They're saying that this promotion will continue around the world, but no specifics on where yet. But I'm about 90% sure that part of going around the world is going to be in the UK.

 

[PickupTeam]

I've checked at my local McDonald's a few times since I first saw this thread; no pokemon toys yet. Does anyone know what date they are supposed to arrive?
