Teen Titans are Go @ Sonic!

OK, kids, a week or so back I was passing by a Sonic restaurant and discovered that the Teen Titans were there. Well I managed to score a couple of them (and somehow wound up with duplicates of some). I don’t think that they are there any more (I caught the end of the promotion; darn!). Well, here is what I got and what I’m missing. Hopefully I'll be able to find the rest online.

Here are the items that I have:

Beast Boy’s Ears


Raven’s Mask


Starfire’s Cuff


All three!


Here is the full set of toys.

Batman Unlimited is coming to McDonald's

Yep, we know that the Minions promotion just started at McDonald’s, but we just noticed that Batman Unlimited is coming...


Minions for Breakfast!

With Minions all over the place, it should come as no surprise that there are even Minions in select General Mills Cereals. Including Cinnamon Crunch, Reese’s Puffs, Banana Nut Cheerios, Golden Grahams, Trix, Honey Nut Cheerios, Coca Puffs, and Fruity Cheerios.


All part of a balanced Breakfast


Here are a couple of Minions from this year's set, along with a pair from last year.

Minions Among us!

Ok, so we all know that Disney just released Minions, a prequel to the company's twin hit films, Despicable Me and Despicable Me 2, only this time around, there is no Gru (voiced by Steve Carell) and we just get to enjoy the funny escapades of those delightful creatures without the “interference” of a co-star. Well, what you might not know is that the Minions are virtually everywhere, including, (as it turns out) McDonald’s.

Well we managed to acquire a full set of the 12 Minions and — unlike the last time the Minions paired up w/Micky D’s — this time they can talk:



Well, we are a week into the promotion and yep, we’ve managed to score a full set of 12.

 So, first up, we have a shot of the display at McD:


Now, we have the first three we acquired as well as the Happy Meal box in which they came:


Now we have individual shots of the lot of them!











An now a group shot of the Minions from both 2015 & 2014!


Now, we totally need to see this flick! 

Non “Funny” Funnybooks on the Rise
