Wendy's Play-Dough Halloween Fingles

It's easy to forget Wendy's has kid's meals. However, when they bring the noise this hard, it's impossible to ignore. Play-Doh Fingles were a pretty basic idea. Finger puppets made with molds. Simple... yet when paired with Halloween? Absolutely majestic. It's hard to look at those glorious Fingles in action and not be jealous of those lucky kids. I am.

Crazy, but thats how Wendy's goes

McDonald's gets a lot of focus when it comes to kids meals at Halloween. It's not surprising that something this awesome snuck by. In 2002, Wendy's had a cool Halloween Lionel Train promotion offering neato little spooky trains. Sure, it's a different sort of premium for the season... but I dig it. Each year Hot Wheels puts out a set of Halloween cars and I chase them down. They're just toy cars with scary pain jobs... but it's cool. Same sentiment with these neat trains. I'm a little envious I wasn't aware of them back in the day. I most definitely would have tried to get them all.

I wasn't planning to buy Wendy's GoBots, but by the end of ToyLanta, I owned four of them. Initially I thought I had completed the set, but then realized there was two more. Welp, off to Ebay. Let's talk about them for a minute,they're hella neat. You guys know I love my GoBots and fast food premiums. So, of course I'm a sucker for these little guys. Today is my birthday, so I'm going to indulge myself a little to talk about silly things... as opposed to everyday when I... so yeah.

It's well known that GoBots were mostly made from Bandai's Machine Robo Toys, however these little bots were original creations made exclusively for Wendy's. They're small with pretty basic transformations, but pleasantly fit right on in with your other bots that go. It's a common misconception that they were included with kids meals, but actually they were sold individually at stores for 99 cents with purchase. There were things like story books available as well. Wendy's went all out with this promotion including my favorite extra. The little tray liner had art of the toys with their bios! It's pretty hard not to appreciate the little guys, and I'm compelled to complete the set now that I've gotten most of them.
