McDonald's Adding Skylanders Toys To Happy Meals
Skylanders fans should be really happy next time they order a Happy Meal at McDonald's. For the second year in a row, the fast food giant will be stocking figures based on Activision's epic game that brings toys to life.
From March 28 through April 24, Happy Meal purchasers at participating McDonald's restaurants in the United States and Puerto Rico will get a one of eight unique toys inspired by Skylanders Swap Force as well as coupons for $10 off the Skylanders Swap Force Starter Pack and $1 off a Skylanders character. The figures are based on characters such as Chompy, Eruptor, Free Ranger, Freeze Blade, Magna Charge, Prism Break, Rattle Shake and Wash Buckler. Get a look at the toys in the gallery below.
Our Take
I don't play Skylanders and I rarely eat at McDonald's, but this still seems like a cool little promotion. Gamers finally have an excuse to order a Happy Meal...not that we needed excuses before.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
