So I WAS gonna write about the awesome Spider-man tin I won in DC’s super awesome tin giveaway contest but SOMEONE beat me to it!
I’m not gonna let that stop me though, I’m gonna post my blog anyway and steal some of your thunder Deej!
Deej knows I’m kidding (I hope) but I am still gonna post MY tin entry and throw in a surprise at the end.
Like Deej said, DC knows how to wrap a package! It took me a good few minutes to get it unwrapped.
And that was just the first layer! I do have to hand it to DC though, she did make sure to label it as Italian, it says it’s from Fragile!
Ok that was a lame joke, I apologize to you and to DC but I couldn’t resist.
After I got the shipping label and first layer off I still had to contend with this.
It’s no missing person bulletin but I can’t help but wonder if DC isn’t trying to tell me something with this. It’s an add for a foot and ankle specialist and they advertise help with fungal treatment. Exactly what are you trying to say here DC?
So I finally get all the paper and tape off and then I get this!
DC why do you hate me so?
All kidding aside this is a nifty little tin. I have no clue what I’m gonna put in it but I’ll figure something out. The pictures I took suck but if you want better ones go check out DC’s page.
Ok, now that we have that out of the way, it’s time for sweet, sweet revenge!!! I know Deej thought he’d escaped my wrath but oh no! The time for vengeance has come Deej! Steal my thunder will you?
HOLY HAPPY MEAL BATMAN!!
I’m honestly surprised no one else on my blogroll covered these before but since they didn’t I’m gonna! Yes kids in honor of Lego Batman McDonalds did Lego Batman Happy Meals and they even come in nifty themed boxes!
Of course for every kick ass boys toy there has to be a girls toy too. In this case the girls toys are these creepy Wizard of Oz dolls.
Not gonna say anything else about these because frankly they give me the willies, your lucky I even took pictures of them!
As for the Happy Meal itself….ok granted it’s been a loooong time since I had a Happy Meal but these things suck!
I opted for the straight hamburger Happy Meal because, well it’s McDonalds. I know you don’t care about the actual meal itself, I’m just dragging out the suspense before I unveil the toy!
Wow my camera takes really lousy pictures! In case you can’t make it out that’s Mr. Freeze up there and some kind of ice beam/cannon thing. Stupid McDonalds! I really wanted the Lego Batman or the cool Batboat that they advertised but I got Mr. Freeze instead. These things are pretty freaking big for Lego toys, I forgot to put one next to him for scale but that’s a 32 oz glass behind him if that helps.
So there Deej! You steal my Spider-man tin thunder, I’ll steal your Batman thunder!











Awesome post! I’m glad you too are enjoying the tin! It was my pleasure to send them out!
Thanks DC! For sending it to me and for reading!!
Well, well, well…looks like somebody’s callin’ me out. Them there’s fightin’ words.
No, it’s actually a smashing post. Loved the vids. That dog’s hilarious. I don’t know what DC’s trying to say to us with these wrappings. To hear her tell it, I abduct children and you’ve got some kind of fungus deal going on.
I too have Batman Happy Meal. Oh yes…and there will be more to say about it over at my place.
You want a fight? You got one! (*said in best Frank Castanza voice*)
Serenity now!
[...] be sure to check out Dan’s post on his Spidey tin. It’s a great read and he’s got a piece on the Batman Happy [...]
Oh Dan, I’m blaming you for the McDonald’s I’m having for lunch. I was too lazy to pack one last night and was just gonna nuke something out the freezer but not any more.
I’m gonna be real though…I’m going for the Madame Alexanders. I am shamed. I’m really not a doll gal but I love Oz and I got a whole bunch of them last time, how can I resist adding to the collection?
Sorry for being the cause of temptation Squee! I hope you get the doll you want, just keep them away from me, those little boogers are creepy!!!
