It consists of 1 mailbox, 32 cards, 35 stickers and 1 teacher card featuring Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and the Flash.

I opened the last four DC Funko Kinder Joy eggs that I had. I ended up with another DC Funko Kinder Joy Catwoman fidget toy (yes, I called it a push pop in an earlier post because I didn't know what they were called at the time), another Wonder Woman cable hugger and another Batgirl miniature figure. I also ended up with this Aquaman fidget toy that can also be used a zipper tag. The sticker features a full figure King of Atlantis holding his trident in his right hand. The middle of the starfish to his left has the hollow half ball that can be pushed. Yes, I would rather have an actual Aquaman miniature figure than this fidget toy. I will probably get a few more DC Funko Kinder Joy eggs since I only have fourteen of the twenty-four toys in this set.
I called this DC Funko Kinder Joy Catwoman Push Pop a thingamajig when I first got it since I didn't know what it was called. I'm still not sure what the function is other than you can tie it on something with a string. The pushable hollow half ball doesn't make a sound or make the item flip over. The Catwoman sticker is pretty cool though.
You know that it had to happen for I just couldn't help myself. I got another Halloween Happy Meal from McDonald's a few nights ago and got this White Boo Bucket. This is another fuzzy monster but doesn't have the horns that the blue one has. The first face looks kind of sad or low on energy.
The second face looks a lot happier.
The third face looks pretty shocked that someone is reaching in for treats.
The front of the insert has various stickers including spider, ghost, pumpkin, demon wings and mittens.The back of the insert features another black and white image that you can color plus a how many can you find game.
McDonald's Boo Buckets are back for 2024 with the Happy Meals for a limited time. They started October 15th. There are four of them again and the theme is fuzzy monsters. The colors are blue, white, orange and green. They include the sticker inserts instead of lids.
I wasn't planning on getting any of the Boo Buckets this year. However, my sister and I got a craving for cheeseburger Happy Meals with fries and Cokes. We both ended up with the Blue Boo Bucket. It has three different faces.
The back of the insert is a black and white drawing with how many can your find game. One can probably also color the drawing.
This is the fourth Boo Bucket that I have gotten in the last few years. I'm glad that I got a blue one this year. I already have an orange, green and purple Boo Buckets from previous years. I don't plan on collecting all four Boo Buckets for 2024.
I ended up getting another Halloween pail meal from McDonald's on Friday evening. I got the Skeleton Boo Bucket this time around. It should be called the Pumpkin Boo Bucket because it's orange and even the handle looks like the top of one. I know they have a Mummy Boo Bucket that is white so they couldn't use that color for the skeleton. However, even the faces look like something you would draw on a pumpkin using black paint.
Even the stickers for the Mix 'n Match Monsters activity looks like eyes, noses, mouths and scars that you would put on pumpkins. However, the head is a skull and that's the only object that has anything to do with a skeleton. There really should have been the shape of a pumpkin instead and the name on the Skeleton Boo Bucket switched to Pumpkin. Maybe they thought that no one would notice.
McDonald's released this year's Boo Buckets on Tuesday, October 17th and I managed to get the vampire. The purple Halloween pail has three faces with a witch's hat as part of the handle. They replace the cardboard Happy Meal box but are the same price. I got mine with a cheeseburger, fries and a Coke.
The activity was Mix 'n Match Monsters with stickers on one side and a black face of a vampire on the other side. The stickers include eyes, eyebrows, noses and fangs. Unfortunately, my blank face suffered a few grease spots thanks to the disc being pushed down on the french fries.
My sister and I both got the McGoblin bucket from the local McDonald's about a week ago. We didn't even try to get the other two since the green bucket was the only one we wanted. To me, the McGoblin bucket looks more like a witch than a goblin.
The McGoblin bucket also came with a circular activity flyer with stickers of costumes for witch and werewolf on one side:
The flip side of the activity flyer has two skeletons that you can put the stickers on to dress them up for Halloween:
I picked up this pack of ninety-six Batman stickers from the local Dollar Tree a few weeks ago. There are four sheets with twenty-four stickers on each sheet but there are only eight different stickers. Batman has four different stickers while Man-Bat, Killer Croc, Joker and Two-Face each has one sticker. They should have called this set Batman and His Villains set. Maybe there will be one with the various Robins and Batgirls in the Bat Family Stickers packs in the future. Yes, the pack of stickers cost me $1.25 thanks to Dollar Tree raising their prices but it's still a cool addition to my sticker collection.
The final Marvel Super Hero Adventures sticker that I got in the now gone vending machine is what I call the floating Avengers. This is also the twelfth and final sticker in the set based on the Disney cartoon series. Characters include Thor, Hulk, Falcon, Black Widow, Captain America, Iron Man and Spider-Man. I actually have two of these stickers and you can complete the top and bottom floating pictures of Thor and Hulk. It's kind of funny that the top of Hulk's head is on the bottom of the sticker while the rest of him is on top.
The eleventh sticker in the Marvel Super Hero Adventures set is what I call Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends. Peter Parker aka Spider-Man is shown with Miles Morales aka Ultimate Spider-Man on one side and Gwen Stacy aka Spider[Gwen on the other side. The background graphics of the city buildings and black spider is pretty cool too. The other thing cooler would have been to seen Spider-Man's original amazing friends, which were Firestar and Iceman.
There are a lot of characters on this Marvel Super Hero Adventures Sticker #10: Spider-Man and the Avengers. There is Spider-Man and his amazing friends, Gwen Stacey aka Spider-Gwen and Miles Morales aka the Ultimate Spider-Man. The Avengers are represented by the Hulk, Black Widow, Thor, Captain America, Black Panther, Antman, Ms. Marvel, Wasp and Iron Man. Whew, that's a lot of characters for a vending machine sticker based on a Disney cartoon series.
I could have posted this yesterday but I thought it would make for a good Women Wednesday post. Kamala Khan as Ms. Marvel is featured on Marvel Super Hero Adventures Sticker #8. She is voiced by Aliza Vellani on the Disney Channel cartoon (fans of CW's iZombie will know her as Marcy Khan). I have yet to read any comics or seen any cartoons with this version of Ms. Marvel.
I managed to get a few more Marvel Super Hero Adventures stickers last month before the vending machine disappeared. I posted a few of them back in September and I have yet to complete the set. I'm not for sure if the vending machine will be back or not but I doubt it since they were having problems with two of them jamming (the mystery sticker coin slot was the worse one and it had been down for almost a year). The first of the new batch is Marvel Super Hero Adventures Sticker #4: Spider-Man THWIP!
This Marvel Super Hero Adventures Sticker #9 doesn't officially have a name so I call it group shot. The group consists of the Hulk, Black Widow, Falcon, Thor, Iron Man, Captain America and Spider-Man. Now I really wished I watched more episodes of this cartoon when it was on the Disney Channel. This is the last sticker of this series that I got out a vending machine but I hope to get some more soon providing that they are still available.
This Marvel Super Hero Adventures Sticker #7: Black Panther would make for a cool 3D sticker since he's leaping off the sticker. This is another recent vending machine treat with uneven black borders. I have only seen a handful of the Disney cartoon and Black Panther is one of my favorites.
This Marvel Super Hero Adventures Sticker #3: Hero Up is another vending machine surprise. It features Thor, Black Widow, the Hulk, Iron Man and Captain America from the Disney cartoon series.
I've been getting a few of the Marvel Super Hero Adventures stickers from a vending machine at the local Dillons store for the past month. The first one is Ultron, which seems an odd choice since he's a super villain. The sticker set was produced in 2019 by Vending Supply and is based on the Disney pre-school cartoon series, Marvel Super Hero Adventures, that ran from 2017 to 2020.
I found these Wonder Woman 1984 3D Stickers at the local Dollar Tree last week. There are nine puffy stickers that features Wonder Woman and Cheetah. The middle sticker actually has both characters. The length of the Wonder Woman 1984 3D Stickers range from two to two and a half inches. The back of the top cardboard insert actually has 2021 Peachtree Playthings printed on it so they are new.
