It's been a while since we visited the shelf of little plastic figures.
The first two pieces in this section are kid's meal prizes from Hardee's. They were a set of Hanna-Barbera cars, each car featuring two classic H-B characters in some sort of wacky car. First up is Magilla Gorilla and Wally Gator in some sort of bathtub/hydroplane combo. Then we have Quick Draw McGraw and his sidekick Baba Louie sporting their covered wagon car. These cars were original creations for the Kid's Meal. Hardee's and Arby's both had a few different Hanna-Barbera kid's meals during the 1990's.
The next two heroes on the shelf are from the fantastic 1991 Disney Afternoon series, DARKWING DUCK. I bought both of these figures either at The Disney Store or Walt Disney World, either way I was a huge Darkwing Duck fan! Darkwing is seen here sporting his superhero outfit and standing with his sidekick Launchpad McQuack. You may remember Launchpad from his first gig as Uncle Scrooge's pilot (and sometimes sidekick) from DUCKTALES which debuted a few years earlier in 1987. One summer when I was babysitting two boys full-time, I saw all 65 syndicated episodes of DARKWING DUCK and then went on to also catch all 24 Saturday morning network episodes that aired over the course of two years. It's a great show and they should have done a theatrical movie! The first batch of episodes just came out on a 3-disc DVD set!
Last we have Snoopy there in the corner. What can you say about Snoopy? He's timeless! I've been a Peanuts fan all my life! This figure was originally attached to a box of Easter candy.
Have A Nice Weekend!
