McDonald's Multiversus Happy Meal #3

Yesterday, I picked up another McDonald's Multiversus Happy Meal with cheeseburger, fries and a Coke. This time I got the #3 tin featuring Wonder Woman and Bugs Bunny.



I'm not really sure which side of the puzzle is the front but I'm putting the side with Bugs Bunny, Superman, Taz and Wonder Woman as the front for this post.

I'm claiming this side of the puzzle with Shaggy, Garnet from Steven Universe, Jake the Dog from Adventure Time and Batman as the back:

McDonald's Multiversus Happy Meal #2

I was planning to post something else today but I found out that the McDonald's Multiverses Happy Meal came out yesterday. I decided to get one with a cheeseburger, fries and a Coke today for lunch. The front of the box features a large image of Bugs Bunny with Wonder Woman and a smaller image of Velma with Batman.

The back of the McDonald's Multiversus Happy Meal box features a look at the tins and a puzzle. Among the characters featured on the tins are Batman, Finn from Adventure Time, Taz, Harley Quinn and Superman. The characters on the puzzle are Superman, Finn, Steven Universe and Velma.

I got puzzle #2, which is in a tin that is in a tin box. The front of the box has Finn and Batman. What an odd pair especially since I have only seen maybe one episode of Adventure Time. The back of the tin box (not shown) has the copyright and trademark information in English and Spanish.

The front of the McDonald's Multiversus Happy Meal #2 tin features Batman. I really like the shiny gold background.

I'm glad that Finn is on the back of the tin so I don't have to look at him.

The McDonald's Multiverse Happy Meal #2 two-sided puzzle has six pieces and measures about 4 3/4" by 3". The front features Superman, Velma, Finn and Steven Universe. The puzzle only has six large pieces.

The back of the puzzle features Garnet from Steven Universe, Wonder Woman, Jake the Dog from Adventure Time and Taz. I actually had to look up Garnet because I have never seen an episode of the Steven Universe cartoon series.

The tin and the puzzle was a nice change from Marvel's Funko Pops. Will I get another McDonald's Multiversal Happy Meal? Probably because I would like to see who Harley Quinn and Wonder Woman team up with. I won't be able to scan the "Choose Your Duo" but I am looking to playing the Multiversus online game that will be launching May 28, 2024.

Marvel Avengers Jumbo Coloring & Activity Book 2017

I picked up this Marvel Avengers Jumbo Coloring & Activity Book from 2017 yesterday at the local Dollar Tree. Yes, the copyright on all the interior pages have 2016. The front and back covers both feature the same Captain America picture. The Avengers that have their individual coloring pages include Captain America, Black Widow, Iron Man, Hulk, Nick Fury, Thor, Falcon and Hawkeye. Villains include the Red Skull, Abomination, Hydra Agent, M.O.D.O.K., Loki, Attuma, Whiplash and Super-Adaptoid. The last eighteen pages are actually tied together in a story focusing on Falcon's first day as an Avenger. There are some sideway pages but very few pages of the Avengers together. Activity pages include which line, draw, match, maze, unscramble and spot.

Batman Jumbo Coloring & Activity Book 2010 Covers With 2018 Interiors

I picked up a few new superhero coloring books at the local Dollar Tree earlier. Among them was this Batman Jumbo Coloring & Activity Book. The most odd thing about it is that the copyright on the front page and back cover is for 2010 but all the other interior pages show the copyright as 2018. I can only conclude that this was a rushed reprint error. The Robin that appears in this one is Tim Drake since there is a word search puzzle with his name plus the costume pretty much indicates that it is him. The villains that appear include the Joker, Penguin, Killer Croc, Man-Bat, Two-Face, Mr. Freeze and the Riddler. The activity pages include mazes, word searches, squares, puzzles, which is different,  crack the code, draw, make a match and unscramble words.

Avengers Jumbo Coloring and Activity Book: Defenders of Earth

Avengers Jumbo Coloring and Activity Book: Defenders of Earth is another one that I picked up at the local Dollar Tree. It was produced by Bendon with a copyright of 2020. There are ninety-six tear and share pages. The front cover features Black Widow, Captain America and Thor.

The back cover features Iron Man, Captain Marvel and the Hulk.

The coloring pages are either full figures or upper torso and head shots. Characters include Hawkeye, War Machine, Wasp, Ant Man, Black Panther, Vision, Falcon, Loki, Red Skull, Thanos, Doctor Strange and Winter Soldier in addition to the Avengers featured on the front and back covers. Unfortunately, there are no group shots or fighting scenes. I would recommend using coloring pencils if you color them since there some small spaces.

Activity pages are mixed in with the coloring pages. They include puzzles such as how many words, find the right one, mazes, who am I, squares and tic-tac-toe.

Marvel Jumbo Coloring & Activity Book: New Allies

This Marvel Jumbo Coloring & Activity Book: New Allies was picked up at the local Dollar Tree. This was produced by Bendon in 2019 with ninety-six tear and share pages. The front and back covers feature Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk, Thor and Spider-Man. I did a search and Amazon has it listed as part of the Marvel Heroes Jumbo Coloring & Activity Book Set (the other one is titled "Unleashed", which I do not have nor did I see it at the local Dollar Tree).

The back cover features the same image as the front cover.

Most of the coloring pages features individual characters but there are some group pages like the one with Captain America, Hawkeye, Thor, Falcon, Iron Man, Hulk and Black Widow. Other Avengers such as Ant Man, Black Panther and War Machine have their own coloring pages too. Coloring pages with super villains such as Red Skull, Loki and Ultron also pop up.

The activity pages include drawing with the grid, connect the dots, maze, image search, finish the drawing, anagrams, shadow matching, word search and others.

Note: The last third of Marvel Jumbo Coloring & Activity Book: New Allies is devoted to Spider-Man and his enemies.

Thor Big Fun Book To Color: Ages of Thunder

It's Thor Thursday and I have something special to share today. I picked up a copy of Thor Big Fun Book To Color: Ages of Thunder last week at the local Dollar Tree. The coloring/activity book was produced by Bendon in 2013 and has ninety-six off white pages. The first fifty pages or so features "Ages of Thunder" story about Loki taking over the throne of Asgard while Odin is gone. Thor gets a little help from his friend, Balder, to battle the fire and storm giants. Odin returns and discovers Loki's trickery before exiling him and the giants. Thor then goes in search of the Warriors Three and ends up battling Fafnir. Skurge and the Enchantress shows up to battle Thor before releasing Loki. Of course, he wins in the end.




Games and activities in Thor Big Fun Book To Color: Ages of Thunder include find the differences, solve the codes, hidden images, connect the dots, mazes and more.
For a dollar, Thor Big Fun Book To Color: Ages of Thunder is not a bad buy. I like the fact that it separates the story pages from the activity pages. There are plenty of action scenes with a few full figure pages. I would choose colored pencils instead of crayons because of the small spaces to color.
