Sega are no strangers to doing promotions with fast food chains, I’m sure most Sonic fans out there are familiar with the many McDonalds or Burger King toys which accompanied kids meals back in the 90’s. Well… it seems that there was another line of toys planned for Burger King, however for whatever reason the line was cancelled.
The documentation which came to light earlier this week shows that the toyline was going to be very extensive, the following toys were planned to be included.
- * Walk em’ Sock Em Knuckles (No that’s not a typo, it’s really called ‘Walk’ and not Whack’)
- Rip Roaring Robotnik
- Twistin’ Twirlin’ Tails
- Go Gamma Go
- Somersaultin’ Snowboardin’ Sonic
- Super Sonic Sled
- Frog-Catchin’ Cat
- Noisy Amy!
- Knuckles Goes for a Spin
- Turbo Prop Tails
Aside from the odd names, some of the toys look quite cool for meal toys, some however look… well… look…
I almost wanted to save this for Freak Out Friday, What’s going on with the artwork/look of Amy!? It looks like something you’d find in Demon’s Souls!
However there are one or two awesome looking toys in the documents, Gamma for instance looks great.
And who wouldn’t want a rocking action big the cat?
What I like about a number of these designs is that a few of them come with some smaller accessories or additional bits, for example, the Robotnik toy comes with a smaller Sonic figure, and the Knuckles spin toy also has Robotnik chasing him.
Sadly there are no models of these toys, it seems that these were scrapped at the design stage.
The full documentation can be found in our gallery and all images are at their full size.
