Average Rating: 
Rating:  - The food was fast, yes, but fast food toys linger.
Keep an eye out next time you're rooting around in your attic.
If you come across one of those old toys you'd get with a Happy Meal, it could be a collector's item.
So says "Fast Food Toys," by Gail Pope and Keith Hammond.
This is an interesting and unique book that is sure to send college students across the nation into fits of nostalgia.

I haven't thought of Quarter Pounder Cheese O-Saur or Mac-O-Saurus Rex in years. And now collectors are offering three to five dollars for them.
My younger brother, Steven, obtained these six toy aliens from Wendy's years ago, in 1990, that he carried around with him forever. We never knew one of the characters' names, but finally, after a decade of wondering, we know the answer:
Crimson-oid. Yello-boid. Spotta-zoid. Lime-oid. Blu-zoid. Purpa-poid.
They're all in the book. Just not where we put them. But if they ever turn up, and Steven's willing to part with them, he can get three to five dollars for each one.
But even if you're not interested in selling, the book is worth it just to see some old friends again.
"Fast Food Toys" is like a trip back into time, as movie and television promotions abound. Shows like "Chip N' Dale Rescue Rangers," "Kisseyfur,""Dinosaurs" ("Not the momma!"), "Tiny Toons" and so much ... Read More
Rating:  - "Fast Food Toys" is a must-have for collectors
Nearly every toy listed in "Fast Food Toys" has a photo with it! I find this to be a necessity that other toy collecting books lack. There is a great selection of modern McDonald's toys as well as toys from other fast food franchises. My only wish is that Pope and Keith would have included pre-1980s toys.
