Superman McDonald's Autralia 2003

McDonald's Australia offered four different toys in their Happy Meal boxes in 2003. From the DC Super Heroes Collection: Superman, Wonder Woman, The Penguin and the Batmobile.

Happy meal box with Superman toy in plastic bag. This figure consists in Superman "flying" atop of the Daily Planet. There is not much action to it. Just more like a display toy than a playable one.







Take a look at the happy meal box and the plastic bag.


On the left we can see a really nice puzzle: "Speed challenge!" See who is the fastest of these super heroes to get to the end, on the right a nice shot of Superman.


Left side shows images from Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman, and on top of them you were able to cut those rectangular pieces with the super heroes emblems and turn them into rings. Right side, the one and only Ronald McDonald...


The plastic bag shows an example of what the toy looks like and some information about it.

Superman Kinder Surprise

Kinder Surprise, also known as a Kinder Egg (Kinder being the German word for "Children"), is a confection manufactured by Italian company Ferrero. It comes in the shape of a chocolate egg containing a small toy, frequently requiring assembly. Superman comes from their Justice League collection. In this case the figure is not so small, measuring about six inches tall and comes with a super-cool breakable door in their now classic yellow egg. Take a look at the pictures.

This is the front of the instructional booklet. As you can see, only four figures were release, Batman, Flash, Green Lantern and Superman, and they were only available in Europe.


Once you open your egg, you'll find all the pieces, this is the fun part when you have to put it together.









After a couple of minutes putting together the frame and the breakable door, Superman is ready for action!!!


With a little help from you... Superman breaks trough out that door to catch the bad guys....a really fun toy.

SUPERMAN, SUPERGIRL and KRYPTO THE SUPERDOG


Superman

Rocketed from the exploding planet Krypton as a baby, he grew up to be the mightiest hero of them all: Superman! From his first appearance in Action Comics #1, in 1938, the Man of Steel became the foremost comic hero of them all. Faster than speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, able to leap tall buildings at a single bound, Superman is a modern American myth. He is known and loved on every continent and read about in over a dozen languages.


The Man of Steel

Superman has the strength to move cars, mountains...even Planets! Fortunaly, Superman uses his strength to help fight crime. His greatest weakness is Kryptonite, whick evil forces sometimes use in an effort to combat the great strength of Superman.



Superman and Supergirl

Supergirl was born in Argo City, which survived the explosion of the planet Krypton. Her real name is Kara Zor-El, and Superman is her cousin. She also came to Earth in a small rocket ship when Argo City was doomed by Kryptonite. She took the Earthname of Linda Lee, and eventually she was adopted and raised by Fred and Edna Danvers.


Krypto

Superboy had a pet dog named Krypto. Krypto was lost when shot into space from Krypton in an experimental space capsule. Eventually, he reached Earth, where he was reunited with his master, Superboy.

THE DAILY PLANET


Clark Kent

Clark Kent is the disguise used by Superman to protect his identity. The mild-mannered reporter wears glasses made from the heat-proof plastic windows from the spaceship that brought him to Earth. His name was given by Jonathan and Martha Kent, who found him as a baby and raise him as their own son. In the public view, Clark Kent is a talented, informative TV and newspaper reporter. In private, he is the Man of Steel-Superman!


Lois Lane

Lois Lane is an attractive female reporter for the Daily Planet. Many people wonder why she likes Clark Kent so much, but she has known him a long time, and she has seen flashes of courage that go contrary to his public image. In the back of her mind there's still a nagging feeling that Clark kent just might be Superman.


Jimmy Olsen

Jimmy Olsen started out as an office boy for the Daily Planet. In time, he became a cub reporter, then, finally, a full reporter. Jimmy Olsen is always rushing into the the thick of things in an effort to be a star reporter. While he can often work things out for himself, there are times when he needs help from Superman.


Perry White

Perry White is the tough Editor of the Daily Planet. He is a man of courage and a good deal of impatience -when he wants something done, he wants it done ten minutes ago! He has a real liking to his top reporters, but he'd never think of showing it. Perry White always wants the Daily Planet to get the news first, and he tries to cover everything more fully than the TV news show.

Superman and Lois Lane

Lois Lane is in love with Superman, and he returns her love. But, Superman feels he can never marry, since criminals would strike at him through his wife. Neither one can stand the idea of the other being hurt or in danger, and when they unite after such an episode, they do reveal strong emotion for each other.

Jor-El and Lara

Superman was born on the planet Krypton, the son of Jor-El and Lara. his name on Krypton was Kal-El. Jor-El was a scientist, and he discovered that Krypton was destined to explode. However, few people belive him, and he had to work alone in his effort to save his family.



Leaving Krypton

Jor-El believed tha planet Krypton was doomed to explode, so he worked feverishly to build a spaceship to save his entire family. However, when the fatal day arrived he only had time to finish a small model, so he used that to send his son, Kal-El, throught a space warp to the distant planet Earth.


Jonathan and Martha Kent

Once on Earth, Superman had great powers of strength and speed, due to the lighter gravity and the yellow sun of this world. He was raised by Jonathan and Martha Kent, who knew of his powers, but concealed the fact and created a new secret identity for him.



More powerful than a locomotive

The lighter gravity on Earth and the yellow sun of this world make it easier for Superman to move with astonishing speed. of course he flies, but Superman can even run fast-fast enough to breack through the time-barrier, he can even hover in the air, motionless.
