So I was walking home, and I see this on the streets. I never expected to find anything of interest on my streets, since this is a boring, ghetto city. Then I found this, and walked by it, stopped, and said "WHOA COOL". So I said to myself "I must show the Fungi Forums". On the back of it it says copyright 2006 and made for McD's, a safe assumption that it's a McDonald's toy. But I don't recall any McDonald's promotion in 2006 based on Mario, or at all period. (at least not in recent years)
But it is a hard rubber, similar to a toddler toy, so perhaps it's a special request McDonald's toddler toy.
Anyone got any ideas? I'm intrigued by this cool find.
-
I have one of them. And yes they did have one in 2006. it was a a thing they did to make kids be more active. I guess not all the states had this...
-
Yeah, I recall that. I have one too... somewhere. It still has that awesome "new" smell.
-
Those taste awesome... Oh, it's not food?
-
I'm guessing that particular one was to promote Mario Pinball Land?
-
Oh! I have heard about these Mc Donald's toys and I hoped they came out here, too (instead we had a lot of toys dedicated to Sonic at Mc donalds =p)! You're sooooo lucky!
And you didn't need to go to McDonald...and then! WOW! Just a Super Mario fan find this! Not a "normal" person! X3 You must be very happy! =)
-
I have three of them, though I don't know where they are right now...

I am, I absolutely love finding Mario-based items. It's a bit scuffed up, but it's still Mario darn it! Especially since I didn't have to pay anything for it, or eat McDonald's. (I'm trying to eat healthier ever since I started being in nutrition class in school)
I especially hate the McDonald's restaurants around here because the service is poor. If the burgers aren't poorly made physically, they are taste-wise. In my local Wal-Mart Mickey D's, I purchased a burger and it was dripping yellow liquid, it looked like urine and it tasted disgusting. Luckily my girlfriend lives in a better town with better establishments and people. (Including a GameStop with a very good GB/GBC/GBA selection. :D

That's cool, missingno! And does your Gamestop sell PS1 games? Cause mine doesn't... if I want FF VII now I'll have to look for it on E-Bay :(
-
I'm aware of this promotion. In fact, I think I have the commercial for it on my computer somewhere. Unfortunately I don't have any of the toys from said promotion which is a bit of a shame because I have a dresser drawer of sorts dedicated to this sort of thing. You know, video game-related fast food toys.

Neither mine nor my girlfriend's GameStops sell PS1 games unfortunately. I wish game stores would be more devoted to the retro cause aside from the rare occurance of a retro game store. Even GameCrazy's ditching that, and they did it quite well.

Well, though I never got any toys from that series (too old and too conscious of my health), I do have a few from, like, the first Mario promo in the 80s (passed down from my dad), as well as the entire--2003 or 2004, I think--Nintendo toys line from Burger King (primarily procured as my grandparents drove down the west coast on vacation. I still feel bad about getting the final one when my brother didn't...).
-
Wow, I had no clue that these weren't listed in the Merchandise section. I will add them first thing tomorrow!
Message me to send me cool stuff like this so I can see if we don't have it, K fellas and fellers?

SB, if you don't mind, could you take pics of those and shoot them over to me? I don't have those listed either, I believe....

Sure, I'll see what I can do.
-
I've got one of those too, but I don't know where it's from, other than it says McDonalds on the back. Think we found it at a yard sale or something.
-
Y'know, the same thing happened to me too. What happened was around a year ago, my sister called me and asked me to bring her reading glasses to her work, so I did, and when I was walking by, I saw a Mario Pinball Land ball on the side of the street, so I took it and kept it.
-
Weird, but cool.
-
I think that's a cool find. I think I like it better than other MArio toys I've seen.
-
You know where you can see a bunch of cool Mario toys?

I've found other beautiful Mario toys after the time I've taken this photo: I'll take a new one of the new toys, so.
(Lately I have bought some Super Mario phone straps, other Keychains of New Mario Bros, New mario bros little statues, a Super Mario PVC figure and a big 1UP mushroom plush. I'm still waiting for a Bowser Jr plushie! =D)

Funny thing. Two days ago I was watching AVGN videos, and coincidentally in the Bugs Bunny Birthday Blowout review, James throws one of these Mario balls at a guy in a Bugs Bunny suit.
-
Mcdonald's using video games to get kids to be active, the least thought out plan ever. On a lighter note i've got the ball, yoshi, and hammer!
-
It's kind of like those commercials on all the cartoon channels right now--the ones saying "go outside and play" on TV. The hypocrisy is sickening.

Whoops. I guess I forgot to mention that. It's also in a few of his other videos. Just sitting on top of the TV next to a McD's bag. Ah whatever. *watches James nail Bugs between the eyes with Mario ball over and over again*
