BEHOLD
The Draculaura pail!! It's smaller than I expected but to be honest I was going off faulty memory of the Scooby Doo ones. I absolutely love the details on it and will be using it as Halloween decoration (and then taking it to my room when Halloween is over).

Mario Movie McDonald's
The new Mario movie happy meal toys from McDonalds are cardboard precut toys to construct and were promoted in January 2023 in Europe (Netherlands, Belgium, France, Greece, Spain, Italy etc), UK and Ireland and from December 2022 in Australia and NZ.
The 12 Mario happy meal toys are either figure spinners or vehicles which are based on the Nintendo characters: Mario, Luigi, Bowser, Princess Peach, Toad, Donkey Kong and Cranky Kong.
Super Mario Bros. Happy Meal Spinners
The six spinners include: Mario, Bowser, Donkey Kong, Luigi, Princess Peach and Toad.
Inside the cardboard packets for the spinners is:
an instruction sheet showing you how to build the toy
the main character
2 base pieces
2 circular spinner pieces
2 minor characters from the Mario World.
The Toad Kart, for instance, has Toad holding up a spoon along with a pre-cut of Goomba and another of Fire Piranha Plant.

Mario happy meal vehicles include: Peach Peach Bike, Mario Kart, Toad Kart, Mario and Luigi Van, Donkey Kong Kart and Kranky Kong Kart.

It's about dang time I posted Surge and Kit content here!
I haven't read the IDW Comics yet, so I dunno their dynamic (or their personalities, really), but I beg for them to have a Brother Sister dynamic. Please, I beg of you, more sibling characters.
As far as I know, Kit wants what's best for Surge, even if it hurts him. So that's why in the drawing, Kit isn't under the Umbrella.
I beg that Surge gets mad whenever Kit does something self destructive just to 'appease' her and tries to get him to stop or encourages him to be a kid whenever they get the chance to.

One of the Worst McDonalds Toys Ever
In my opinion one of the worst McDonalds toys ever promoted were those in the Warner Bros Anniversary happy meal that came out in January 2023 and continued until about April in a variety of countries excluding the US.
There are 24 Warner Bros iconic characters in the 12 pairs set including DC Superheroes, Scooby-Doo, Tom and Jerry and Teen Titans Go! Sounds good right? Well yes and no.
Open the pack and you will find a head with the body of two different characters front and back. The body (made of card) is the same deal allowing for mixing and matching. So you can, for example, put Superman's head on the body of Tom of Tom and Jerry fame. Or how about The Joker and Jerry switching bodies.
This is kind of fun. The concept in itself is fine per se. If these had been plastic they would have been a really popular set to rival Sonic, TMNT or other McDonald's DC Superheroes of past promotions but as paper toys they really suck.
The trouble with this set though, is not just that they are made from card, the heads are the real problem. In some countries these are aluminium which is pretty strange for a sustainable toy line don't you think?
In Australia and NZ though it got even worse because Maccas, out of choice or not, I'm not sure, but they distributed the Warner Bros toys with paper heads rather than metal.
Guess what happened? Most of these happy meal toys got binned before they even left the restaurant. Massive deforestation for what???
There has been some commentary in social media about below par McDonalds toys in 2023. I happen to believe that if you make a decent plastic toy of collectible characters like Mario Bros, Disney, or Superheroes then people are more likely to hold on to them. And, of course, as we know these are the kind of McDonalds toys most sought after by collectors too.
But we need to save the planet so plastic toys will have to eventually be phased out. In the meantime though I would like to see Maccas come up with toys that are worth taking home not crap like this!
As far as I am concerned the Warner Bros McDonalds toys 2023 are a massive failure. And truly are an example of sustainability that has good intentions but doesn't work in practice.
If you want to take a look at these Warner Bros happy meal toys in more detail head over to the toycollectornz website for lots of pictures and details of worldwide release of Warner Bros happy meal toys 2023.
