Burger King Reveals Wii U Promotional Toys
Posted by Orla Madden
Lots of burgers to get them all
Burger King has revealed its latest batch of children's toys in the form of famous Nintendo characters, alongside its promotional Wii U giveaway. We were aware that the fast food chain was scheduled to include Wii U toys in its kid's meals across the US, but no idea was given as to when these would arrive.
Earlier this week Burger King updated the Toys Section of its website detailing what's on offer, providing ten different toys to be served in its new BK CROWN Activity Boxes, each of which we have included below for you to see.
Instead of some throwaway plastic toys, maybe it was over-optimistic — to put it mildly — to hope that interactive NFC toys would actually be part of the promotion. Considering that none of Wii U's launch games use the NFC technology, we shouldn't be surprised.

Some of those are kind of neat...

Donkey and Diddy Kong aren't even confirmed to be in any Wii U games so they're not really relevant to the theme.

Wow, most of these suck. I do want the Mario and Luigi figures, though.

The Mario and Luigi figures are neat and the hanging Diddy's are a cool idea + Koopa-Troopa Sharpener(?) - but then they got lazy and rehashed old toy ideas.
Also I feel BK dropped the ball big time, why is it I cannot open a BK Crown Wii U meal and find Pikmin in my box? : ( DREAMS CRUSHED

@FonistofCruxis, one of the mini games for Nintendoland is Donkey Kong themed, so there is definite relevance.

lol at how Mario is striking a pose, but Luigi is showing bad posture though he's doing the same thing. XD
Anyway, as an employee we all got to take a Mario home with us. There aren't any other ones in our store at the moment, though.

I actually liked the Barrel of Monkeys toy as a kid (where you build a chain of monkeys by holding on to only the top of the chain).

@FonistofCruxis Perhaps it's a tease at a possible future Donkey Kong game on the WiiU? That'd be interesting.

Cevan said:
I actually wouldn't mind getting that Diddy Kong one. I loved the barrel of monkeys when I was younger, so Nintendo ones would actually be kind of cool. Besides that though, none of these toys interest me.

Maybe it was easier to build, but I love how the Gamepad has circle pads instead of sticks.

lol @ the people moaning about these. They're free toys. And seem pretty good for what they are. What did you expect? Free Wii U in every box?

My sister and I have been going to Burger King last week, and we only got the Mario figurine twice. If anything, I'd like to get the barrel full of Diddy Kongs at least.

Prof_Clayton said:
That's only 9 toys. The article says 10. Am I missing something? Orla better not be saving the good one for herself.

I've got the Mario....I really want the Diddy monkeys for some reason.
And Luigi. I wish the Donkey Kong didn't look as cheap as it does....I mean, I guess it is a BK toy

Luigi is looking kinda chunky

LittleIrves said:
Whoa. Beat-boxing children and Mario Crowns! Wii U just won this generation.
(But seriously, the ad is kind of cute. Won't help their argument that Wii U is for the older, mature gamers.... but I don't care. Keep the kids happy and you keep this 31-year-old kid happy, too.)
