It was one of the Hasbro Pokeballs that a baby choked on. Burger King ditched theirs just as a precaution. And it was a baby even though the toys were for ages 4 and up. It was the parents' fault.

You didn't have to give them back. I didn't, not even for a free small fry.

Nah, these were. Underdetailed front button and tripod feet aside, these were crazy cool and felt like real Pokeballs. Can't believe they were only $5 a pop"with goldplated cards!"

I still have all mine. I painted the line around the middle black like the show.

I smother babies with them sometimes.

The chrome always made me nervous and you couldn't throw those. But I'll admit the slow open after pressing the button was great

wait, what? What is this?

I thought they were great, there was some sort of recall for them and you HAD TO FUCKING GIVE THEM BACK???

I never did. Still have a ton in my "old toys" box somewhere in my parents' attic. I loved how if you threw 'em really hard, they'd pop open.

I remember when I got one of these and got Gengar. It was pretty awesome as the light up ones were less rare. This probably was the best set of fast food toys ever made if only for how fucking many there were in so many different styles.

I got the Mewtwo and he came in a different thing, like a stasis chamber or something. It was pretty rad. I did return one of the Pokeballs for a small fry, though.

I need to buy some of the cards again for these beauties. Better than the treasure they held.
But I played with all of mine like a dumb kid and the chrome is all chipped.

Why did pokemon not take over those quarter machines?

Think about it. the only toys we ever got of pokemon were small little unarticulated pvc figures.

they could have created a 2 piece "pokeball" container, stuck a penny worth of a cheap plastic pvc pokemon in there (not even same quality as whawt was sold as "toys" in the stores) and bam. "GOTTA CATCH EM ALL" would have had kids spending a bare minimum of 151 * .25 = 37.75 in quarter machines, and thats assuming you have a perfect run and get exactly one of everything every time

then we would have gotten awesome pokeballs

Did... did you not have them? I mean they were 99% definitely bootlegs, but they had a machine of these in nearly every store near me circa 99/00. Mine got sold a long time ago at a garage sale but they were obviously trying to be like the small keychain ones and I definitely had a Pikachu and a Jigglypuff at the least.

I didn't know anything went wrong with them.
My lil sis and I left the states in 1999 and each had one on our duffle bags. I was pretty bummed when mine came apart and didn't notice the top half had disappeared.
My gameboy colour was stolen on one of those flights too... *sob*

had a machine in a pizza joint near me that had gashapons where the plastic around the crease was decorated to look like the pokeball button and gave some pokemon from the first 150
but this was around 2010, so it could be a knockoff or something IDFK

Wait, am I the only one who remembers those pokeballs with the elastic band at the end of them that you could throw at pokemon figures and catch them?

Not the new Poke BALL Throw bullshit in which you can only release the pokemon. The one I am talking about had a trigger inside, you would have to throw it opened up and hope the pokemon to trigger the mechanism and close up as it returned to your hand.

Was my childhood just a dream?

No Anon, you're not imagining things.

I have one in my Pokemon childhood toybox somewhere, was a Japanese import that came with an Ivysaur figure. I go back to my parents' house on Friday so I'll post a pic if I can find it.

There was an American version too. I still remember the commercials for it.

It was a Master Ball, right? Your description sounds spot on. I bought mine about 17 years ago at a local Swap Meet in Cali.

Man, BK's original Pokemon promotions are so nostalgic to me. They were really killing it back then, I used so much of their stuff with my Tomy figures. I loved that Koffing top in particular. I fondly remember a Tentacruel squirt toy as well.

I have it, it has no trigger. It's just a capsule that breaks in two halves.
