\"\"<\/a>There\u2019s a new Sonic the Hedgehog live action animated hybrid movie out now, and McDonald\u2019s just did a promotion with Happy Meal toys featuring characters from the games and movies.\u00a0 I got a few of them, so let\u2019s take a look at them!<\/p>\n

First, here\u2019s a picture of the boxes they come in.\u00a0 It\u2019s nice to see that after all these years, Happy Meals still come in those classic boxes they had when I was a kid.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And here\u2019s the toys I got.\u00a0 Each character got two different versions of them, so I\u2019m glad I got both ones of Tails, since he\u2019s my favorite Sonic character.\u00a0 Each character attaches to a little pull back device that you can roll.\u00a0 Knuckles and Sonic are just running, while Tails is either using his two tails to go or is riding a snowboard.\u00a0 There was another version of Sonic and Knuckles that I didn\u2019t get, plus some kind of robot.\u00a0 The toys also came with decals, which I assume you put on their sneakers, but I didn\u2019t do that.\u00a0 The figures also come off the pull back parts pretty easily, so I imagine they wouldn\u2019t stay on very well if you tried to roll them.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What I don\u2019t understand is that both McDonald\u2019s and Arby\u2019s<\/strong><\/a> have done kids meal promotions with Sonic, but why not Sonic restaurants themselves?\u00a0 It would make more sense, especially considering Sonic Drive Ins serve chili dogs!<\/p>\n

Bonus Level:<\/strong><\/p>\n

So at the dollar store I found Tastycake Mini Muffins with Sonic characters on the boxes.\u00a0 But the inside packaging was still the same.\u00a0 You could enter a contest to win a year\u2019s supply of these mini muffins, but they weren\u2019t that good so that doesn\u2019t sound like an appealing contest.\u00a0 Sonic had blueberry and Knuckles had chocolate chip.\u00a0 Not pictured is Tails, which was some kind of confetti flavor.\u00a0 They didn\u2019t have the Tails box at the store.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There\u2019s supposed to be a Sonic cereal and fruit snacks tied to the movie, as I got a press release about them, but I couldn\u2019t find them in any store nor could I get them online.\u00a0 But if I find them later, you know I\u2019ll write about them, too!\u00a0 –Cary<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
