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
The descriptions make me laugh.
I remember when McDonalds had Super Mario Bros 3 toys.
@FonistofCruxis, one of the mini games for Nintendoland is Donkey Kong themed, so there is definite relevance.
Those are some crappy looking toys. Kinda want diddy kong monkeys.
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeepic fffffffffffffffaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaail! why didnt nintendo stop this #$%@
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).
I want that 'stache
GREAT...now I'm gonna get fat lol
These are cool!
i got the koopa shell and mario, now off to get luigi
Maybe it was easier to build, but I love how the Gamepad has circle pads instead of sticks.
These look pretty neat actually.
Taco Bell had the most awesome N64 toys. Anyone remember those?
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?
anyone notice the gamepad is the 20122 e3 model?
Well... This might help sales with children...maybe?
Those will go good with my collection of SMB3 happy meal toys.
@nintendoMAN the year 20122 hasnt even happened yet
These are terrible/meh......Except the diddy kong monkeys those are pretty cool. I guess the shell is cool.
@Raylax
....maby >.>
@Ceviche_Stiles Oops, I forgot about that mini-game.
Omg, is that a WiiU pad water toy? D: I NEED one.
@Raylax: NintendoLand.
@Morphtroid I think so. I might buy a kids meal for that.... rofl
The Mario, Luigi, and Koopa Shell figures look interesting, but nothing else.
@MrWalkieTalkie : 20122 B.C. E3?
That's only 9 toys. The article says 10. Am I missing something? Orla better not be saving the good one for herself.
at least it's not mcdonalds. burger king has REAL toys, not those plastic models at mcdonalds.
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
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.)
I hope this comes to the UK Burger King,then I'll finally enter one of these foreign food shops.
Wow. I don't know whether to laugh or to go to Burger King and endure their bad food.
