>>9989048>>Even the burger king toys were pretty great. LOTR was a good time for toys.>Loved Boromir and Gimli and the troll.I had a couple of those. I remember thinking it would be amazing to have the whole collection but I only had maybe 3 of them. The combination gimmick was brilliant because it made you feel like you had to get them all.
McDonalds did something similar with Inspector Gadget, where each toy was one piece of a fully interactive 12" Inspector Gadget action figure. Customers went so crazy for those toys that they sold out within like a week of launch and every McDonalds I went to had a sign saying "Sorry, we are all out of Inspector Gadget toys" hanging up at the counter.
The glass LOTR goblets from Burger King were true jewels, though. I still have the complete set, with the original boxes. The rubberized bases for the light up feature are sadly quite yellow looking now, but I'm pretty sure that I could retrobrite them. I just haven't gotten around to it yet. Also, the batteries are about 20 years due for a change.
