Sorry Andrea. I don’t have any toys to send you, but I’m fairly certain you can find this toy on eBay or something. Good luck!

I remember when I was a kid, McDonalds or Burger King, not sure which one, had dinosaur skeleton toys but they didn’t wind up or anything.
You had to put the pieces together and I remember the bones were like an orange rust color but they were kinda neat.
I had the T-Rex and the Sabretooth.
I don’t remember exactly but I think there was also a Triceratops and a Pterodactyl.

You are blessed. From where I am from, we are missing out such fun looking toys from McDonald.

Ha! I grabbed an even more lamely named “Mighty Kids Meal” from McDonald’s a week or so ago and got a different toy from this line. It’s a wind-up squirrel that hops in classic wind-up fashion and has a scaled soldier in full roman armor riding on it’s back. Thinking the card was utterly craptastic but the toy too weird to throw away, I cut a little piece of the card off and pushed it down into the slot. Works like clockwork, no pun intended. I liked the little bugger so much, I returned a few days later and lucked out with ol’ Rexy. Good thing I eat crap.

@ Jason – I’m pretty sure there are already Happy Meal Toy nerds out there.

@Bradlby – Wow! I didn’t make the Battle Bones connection. Maybe the appeal of this thing is based on my subconscious childhood and my love for He-Man toys.

@ Joe – Oops. My mistake. It sucks ass that I need the tablet of Akmenrah to activate this toy

@ The Pizza – I agree that the card activation works conceptually, but I’m not sure it makes for a fun toy. I actually eat at McD’s every 2 years probably. Maybe less. I guess my count starts over cuz of last weekend.

@ SpaceMonkeyX – I honestly didn’t even pay attention to what the other Happy Meal toys were. Ha! I just noticed the skeleton and reacted. Your crude tiki story sounds pretty funny

I’m a big fan of tiki stuff from the 1950′s-60′s heyday. So when I saw they had an Easter Island statue available for the same movie promo, I had to get one to put on my desk at work. Unfortunately, it just talks when you put the card in the slot. When it does talk, it says, “You give me gum-gum”, but, well, let’s just say it doesn’t sound like “gum-gum” unless you realllllly listen. Thinking it could be construed as inappropriate for work, I decided it would be best to just throw it away.

Long story short, the skeleton T-Rex is a lot cooler, even if you do have to put a card in it’s back-end.

I was gonna comment in agreement about the lameness of needing the card to make the dinosaur walk, but now it all makes “sense” with the movie reference.

I have some dinosaur skeleton figures that I found at Target. they lived on the kitchen table in my apartment and the girlfriend always put them in dino sexual positions.

This reminds me also of the one time a year I eat McDonald’s breakfast food, because it’s the only restaurant at the halfway point to the beach.

That’s a lie. it’s not the only restaurant. I just want to go once a year, OK?

It’s not just a CARD, it’s the Tablet of Akmenrah. Everyone knows the exhibits can’t come to life without it. Haven’t you watched the first movie 15 times in the last month.?..

It kind of reminds me of the He-Man carrying pseudo-toy Battle Bones. One of my favorite childhood yard sale pickups, since it was only one big piece it was easy to find a “complete” one on the cheap.

Great find. Now there’s going to be an unexplained demand for happy meal toys from toy nerds from around the globe. I’ll have to go look for him.

I wasn’t lost unfortunately. I was in Americus for Chané’s wedding.

Another surprise huh? I can’t wait! Thanks.

Map Quest. And you might not get lost. But then again no Rexy.
I got you another surprise?
