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! 

More Subway Avengers

OK, so the Subway Avengers: Age of Ultron promotion is over (the franchise is currently promoting the Pixar animated film Inside Out) , and I am in line to get a cool window poster from my local Subway, but in the mean time they gave me this poster.

I also managed to score a couple of bags of Avenger Doritos:

Avengers: Age of Ultron @ Subway

Well, for a while now we’ve been complaining about the fact that since Disney bought Marvel Comics there seems to have been no Marvel movie toy tie-ins with any fast food restaurant. It has long been our opinion that Disney is leery of they “Your food made my kid fat” mantra of some folk, and have thus cut back on this form of marketing. Another theory is that as the Avenger films are not necessarily deemed as "kid fare" Disney has simply opted not to pitch to fast food chains (mot very likely due to all of the other kid-friendly items out there in the marketplace).

Well, while we are still looking for Marvel Movie/fast food figures and toys, we did recently see that Subway is issuing a bunch of Avenger tie-ins to go with the new Ultron film. The “toys” are actually a group of six cardboard fold-out figures that require assembling, and look rather cool.

There is also a drink cup with a code on it that is redeemable for prizes on the Subway website. 

Oh, and here is the Poster for the promotion.

My Spider-Sense is, ah, tingling...
