Happy Meal?
Wouldn't you expect if WWE did a deal with McDonald's or Burger King that they would come with Rumbers-esque toys in the Happy Meals? Obviously now that Rumblers are an established toy line at retail they wouldn't do this, but before Rumblers were introduced couldn't you imagine them being in a happy meal? They are very small, basic toys will minimal deco perfect for a child's fast food meal.
Thoughts?

I kind of agree with you. It really does look like a happy meal toy, but then again these figures were intended for much younger children

To be FULL BLOWN honest, I probably would've actually bought happy meals to collect them, and would've LOVED doing so. That would be the only way I would have ever gotten any. Otherwise, I completely overlook them in stores.

I bought a Sheamus/Cena pack when they first came out. They're cool little toys for a desk at work or something, but to me I'd rather buy the basic and elite figures

Why would Mattel introduce them in Happy Meals? They probably expected them to be at least a decent seller after seeing how many Star Wars and Marvels sold of their similar type figure. It would be nice to see something as a give away. BK did those plush-like talkers but I would much rather see something like a Rumbler. The recent DC stuff at McD have been pretty good.

I think if it was in a happy meal, it would have worse quality paint, and much worse quality plastic. There would also be no ring or cage, or playsets, or whatever else they sell for the Rumblers. But yes, I do see some qualities that resemble a kids meal (i.e. number of points of articulation, height.) But they're, what, $4 each. Isn't that the price of a happy meal (and what kid really gets a happy meal for the food) so in my weird way of thinking, it is about the same price of a happy meal.

I think Mattel should branch out to McDonalds to do a Happy Meal promotion. They could do a special line like Wrestlemania. It could draw in new collectors like advertising and make more money.

yeah mcdonalds is the only way i would buy these too.. other than that there just pointless little little kids toys that have horrible detail in them. Cool concept, and maybe if i had the ring, cage, and a bunch of them it would be cool to use as a little mini game when im bored in the office or at home but other than that i dont see buying. Speakin of McDonalds im hungry now lol

Burger King had these not too long ago and I got the cena. Their really cool and and they have similar design to rumblers so I don't think rumblers in mcdonalds is a no but we'll have to wait and see  |

This pretty well sums up my feelings on Rumblers. They look cool, and if they were like little prizes or something I'd probably collect them, but I don't really buy them in stores because -- and I'm sorry -- they're just not worth what Mattel wants for them. Think about it, they are EXACTLY the kind of thing you'd find in a $2 Happy Meal, yet ONE of these things is like $5! FIVE. DOLLARS. Those accessory packs (Morrison/ladder/tables & Undertaker/casket/burial plot) should be like $6, singles $1.50 and 2-packs $3. To charge any more for these overrated gumball-machine toys is like gouging IMO.
Christ.

I would've actually bought them if they were in the Happy Meals.

I think it would be awesome if they did Rumblers Happy Meal toys. That would be an awesome promotion and could easily be pulled off. Maybe just make the Rumblers a little bigger with less detail most likely?

You're thinking too hard with these. The retail price at ~$4/each, but for what they ARE, they should be much less. Like people have said, they look like they belong in gumball machines for a quarter. They really aren't what everyone makes them out to be. Sure they're cute and unique and a lot of people will pay $10 after tax for a set of two, but it doesn't take away from what they really are, and I imagine they are at the quality, if not below that of a happy meal toy. |
