BK Transformers the Movie collection

It's a roundup week on the Happy Meal Toy Museum, starting first with the collected edition of the Transformers toys from Burger King. For all the hype that was the movie, the transformers happy meal toys were quite disappointing - for one, none of them actually made an effort to transform! Megatron wins the most lame toy award for doing absolutely nothing, while Scorponok wins the best of show for having a semblance of some action that was actually fun to play with. You can visit each individual toy's review here:

Starscream
Optimus Prime
Blackout
Ironhide
Scorponok
Ratchet
Megatron
Bumblebee

Silver Bob



As expected, Silver Bob is a launcher-based toy where the surfboard rolls on the ground. Altogether decent, although because of the way the Bob is shaped, he tends to lean on one side and fall over. The figure is also a bit on the heavy side, so don't expect to be putting him up a ramp and launching him into the cosmos...


... although that might be quite a good idea. Hmm.....

Stretch


When KFC's Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer toys first came out, I missed the first figure in the range, which was Mr Fantastic. This figure is on loan from the DT collection. He's not much of a figure - arms aren't particularly bendy, and the waist expansion doesn't quite work. Not well enough for me to take a video of, anyway.
