Hey guys,
Sorry if this isn't the right forum, but why hasn't WWE made a deal with McDonalds, Burger King, etc for a line of cheap Happy Meal toys?
With WWE's current PG direction, this would a goal of theirs, no?
Or is this impossible due to the WWE-Mattel contract? Would Mattel have to be involved? Do you think they would be interested in it?

That's a great question and something I've always wondered over the years.

If they do, I'd think they'd give us a Rumbler sized figure.

Rumblers are perfect Happy Meal or cereal toys, but considering how much Mattel charges for them, I don't think they want us to notice that.

They could always do watered down Rumblers in terms of less detail and maybe make them like Hasbros with cheesy actions for Happy Meal Toys. Even less detailed Flex Force figures would be good Happy Meal toys IMO.

I would say it comes down to simple business, profit, and overall money coming out. WWE probably has to pay whoever to do commericals and trademark fees to have their product advertised and sold at their resturant. So it comes down to how many meals can be sold for them to make a profit. Then you look at a place like Walmart where you have fees but they really aren't advertising your stuff. Walmart buys from the WWE warehouse and WWE makes the money off what has already been bought. WWE pays for no commericals and is still able to reach far more people. It's all about the money!

I often think they should release a small life like WWE range in molded plastic, ie they cant move, maybe like the old WCW figures, but rumbler sized.
Forget McD's or Burger King, just do the line, they could do it for current roster and legends, im sure they'd be a hit

Elite Happy Meal - $38 mmmmm Essentially...this is why. Mattel charges a lot for figures and aren't going to give them away in $2.99 McHappy McMeals. |
