I went to McDonald's earlier this afternoon and picked up a cheeseburger Happy Meal. To my surprise, they had the new Young Justice toys in stock. There are six mini skateboards based on the cartoon and I received the fourth one, which is Superman. The others include Batman, Robin, Superboy, Kid Flash and Aqualad. I would have liked to see Miss Martin and some of the girls on the team featured but McDonald's seem to insist on only boy superheroes for their boys only toys nowadays.
The bottom of the Superman mini skateboard has a picture of him while the top has the Young Justice logo. I like the transparent blue wheels.
The Happy Meal box had only one panel devoted to Young Justice with the "Get on your feet to defeat the villains" in large text. The question in the upper right corner is "What super hero feats can your feet do every day?" followed by "Run and leap", "Jumping jacks" and "Scooter, skate or bike". Kid Flash and Superboy appear on the upper left corner while Aqualad in on the opposite side.A punch out Robin with the following instructions "Give Robin a leg up! Punch him out, put your fingers in the holes & make him run and skate."
The current girls only toys are based on the Littlest Pet Shop. The next Happy Meal toy line will be based on the movie, The Rise of the Guardians, which will not be gender specific.
