Batman & Robin Merchandise Review - Kids Colonel Meal toys from KFC

Sad to say the kids toys they gave away for Batman & Robin are not as cool as the Glass mugs they did at McDonalds for Batman Forever.

For the 1997 movie KFC had the fast food license (in the UK anyway) and offered a Kids Colonel Meal that had 1 of 4 tie-in toys depending on which week you bought the meal.

Weirdly only two are connected to the film - an inflatable bat symbol and a puzzle cube featuring some awesome artwork of the main characters.

The other two are a transforming batmobile and a squirting Mr Freeze statue based on the animated series designs. 

Not sure why they did this - one commenter on the video says that the animated ones were given away by Taco Bell in the US a year earlier and both companies have the same owner so maybe they just wanted to get rid of some extra stock. Who knows?

Batman & Robin Merchandise Review - Mr Freeze bust from Quick

Apologies, took November off but I hope you checked out the Knight Force Ninjas Power Kick figure on my YouTube channel.

Anyway, this week we've got a really interesting piece of Batman & Robin merch that I'd never seen until few weeks ago when I picked it up on eBay.

This Mr Freeze bust was a give away with fast food meals at Quick - a French equivalent of McDonald's.

It's a decent sculpt but not much paint work. And I guess it's fun that they tried to include a squirting water feature to make it more playable. I'm particularly amused by the instruction on the accompanying leaflet to pop the head off on put it on your finger!

I haven't see this before but I'm definitely keeping my eye out for the Batman one now. Shame they didn't do a Poison Ivy or Bane.
