Nintendo toys now at Burger King
I went over to BK today to pick up a 99cent Wopper and saw about a dozen different new Nintendo toys.
One had mario with a water pack...other toys involved Kirby, Link, Wario, Yoshi, and Donkey Kong.
..just thought I'd let it be known

I just took my daughter to Burger King, and here's the scoop:
These are the 9 toys and their descriptions:
Donkey Kong Time Racer - Help Donkey Kong grab his prized bunch of bananas before they jump out of reach
Kirby Ball Toss - Try to flip as many power balls as you can into Kirby's mouth
Hop & Slide Diddy Kong - Launch Diddy Kong into the treetops and watch him slide down the jungle vines to free up a big barrel of bananas
Race Around Peach and Bowser - Send Bowser and Peach racing round the track and add up the points to see who wins (my daughter got this one. You push a button and Peach and Bowser spin around a wheel. It's pretty dopey, but my daughter is only 22 months, and she seems to like it.)
Kirby Maze Adventures - Keep Kirby racing down his path even as he tilts in crazy directions (Kirby's a top that spins on a plastic mat with an ingrained path)
Coin Collecter Mario Sunshine - Send Mario's wall spinning to see how many coins he can capture (looks like a dopy roulette toy)
Soar & Chase Luigi - Press the mushroom and send Luigi and Boo racing down the pole
Water Whirl Wario - Stay dry or take a dip - send Wario swimming through the watery world to bat power balls or rack up the points with pinball (it looks to be one of those self-contained water games)
Shield Spin Link - Send Link spinning down the track to flatten three of his foes (Mattalos - from the picture it looks like SSBM Link rather than the "Celda" Link)
Egg Hunter Yoshi - Wind up Yoshi and send him this way and that, trying to knock over the eggs blocking his escape. (a wind-up Yoshi knocks over cardboard eggs)
You may be able to get these toys for free. Part of the toy promotion is a "find the gold toy" contest. If your toy is gold colored, you win a GBA game. It says no purchase necessary, so presumably you can send requests for toy bags. It says the official rules are at www.burgerking.com, but I can't find them anywhere on that site.

I was going to go and get the Mario with a water pack, DK and Diddy Kong but I was thinking of using them for decorating my gameroom. What do they look like? Is it something that would look good sitting in an entertainment center?

Thanks Mikeyboy. I guess Ill have to see how they look. I dont want to go in there just to see the toys though. Im not eating any BK so it might look strange for a grown man to come in ask to see the toys and leave.
