Thrift Store Find: McDonald's Black Manta

I picked up another Black Manta action figure from the 2011 McDonald's Young Justice Happy Meals toy line (you can read about my first one here). He was in the second bag full of figures that I picked up at a local thrift store for a quarter. I took some more decent pictures this time around.

Thrift Store Find: McDonald's Young Justice Aqualad

I picked up two more Aqualad action figures that was part of McDonald's Young Justice Happy Meals toy line in 2011 in yesterday's thrift store find. The light on both of the toys work but I decided to just picture the one from the first bag below.

Thrift Store Find: McDonald's Young Justice Captain Cold

I found three bags of miscellaneous action figures/figurines for a quarter each at a local thrift store this morning. Some I quickly recognized while others still remain a mystery. The first figurine that caught my eye was Captain Cold from McDonald's Young Justice Happy Meal from 2011. Unfortunately, he didn't come with his ice missile so that is why he is being tagged as a figurine instead of a action figure. I can't complain since he was basically five cents.

Thrift Store Find: McDonald's Young Justice Mini Skateboard #3: Superboy

I picked up a bag stuffed with oddball figures at the local thrift store a few weeks ago for a dollar. Among them was this McDonald's Young Justice mini skateboard #3: Superboy that originally came out in 2012:

This is pretty cool thrift store find since I already have the Superman mini skateboard.

Thrift Store Find: McDonald's Young Justice Batman

Yes, I originally posted about getting a 2011 McDonald's Young Justice Batman here. I found another along with a bunch of other Happy Meal toys in a bag at the local thrift store for a dollar. Here are better pictures of him with his cape down:

McDonald's Young Justice Mini Skateboard #4: Superman

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.

Thrift Store Finds: Robin On Motorcycle

I found this Robin on motorcycle toy a few weeks ago in the same bag that held the Black Manta, Bat-Mite and Batman Robot. He is from the McDonald's Young Justice Happy Meal series that was released earlier this year. The motorcycle does not stand or roll very well since there is only one wheel in the center between the kickstands. The only part of Robin that moves is his head.

Unfortunately, the front of the motorcyle is missing both of the red projectiles.

Thrift Store Finds: Black Manta

I actually found this Black Manta action figure at a local thrift store with four other toys in a bag for fifty cents. He is from the McDonald's Young Justice Happy Meal that was released earlier this year. His eyes light up red when you push a button in his back and you can move his arms.

Yes, I know that I titled him as Black Mantra instead of Black Manta when I saved the file and I did not catch it until after I uploaded the picture.

Thrift Store Finds: Aqualad, Rath And Shark Boy

I found a bag of goodies for fifty cents at a local thrift store this morning. The three toys were all from past McDonald's Happy Meals.

First is Aqualad from their Young Justice set put out earlier this year. I like how the transparent stripes on his right arm lights up when you push the button on his back.

Next up is Rath from the Ben 10 Ultimate Alien set also from earlier this year. Too bad that he doesn't light up.

Finally, I found Shark Boy from Shark Boy and Lava Girl set that McDonald's put in their Happy Meals in 2005. To be honest, I have yet to watch the movie so I know very little about the character.

Thrift Store Finds: Batflapper and Batmobile

I found the Batflapper and Batmobile yesterday afternoon at a local thrift store for fifty cents each. The Batflapper (I like that name) is actually Batman from McDonald's Young Justice Happy Meal 2011 line (thanks to Bubbashelby from Toyriffic for the correction after I misidentified him as part of The Brave and the Bold promo). His wings...er, arms and cape can be pressed down and released by pressing the bat on his chest. What I really like is that both sides do not have to be pressed down at the same time so he can be posed differently in that regards. His head turns 360 but nothing else does,

The Batmobile is from Hot Wheels and has gold rims. I still have one in the package but now I have one that I can actually play with.
