What about Tomb Buggy? Someone thought bones have such a lovely shade of hot pink.
Since when are Happy Meal toys too "girly". You're making it sound like the Skylanders are the boys toys and that girls should only get the "girl" toys. Most of the times McDonalds have two different toys to choose from is because kids aren't into the first toy but may like the second toy more. Not because they are "Girls and Boys" toys. As I kid I always got what the checkout person said was "Boys" toy. I preferred playing with Hot Wheels Cars rather cheap polly pocket dolls.
Bones look nice in Hot Pink LMAO! Haha Who thought that they looked better than Grey, Black or Blue haha
Have you ever ordered a Happy Meal? If they have distinct toys, they'll always ask "boy or girl". A while back McDonalds announced that they weren't going to specify "boy or girl" anymore, but they still do. The receipt would say truck or doll. Now they specify which toy (i.e. Skylander, Barbie, etc.). I have a son and daughter, and usually they only want the gender-specific toy (my son wants a boy toy and my daughter a girl toy), but sometimes they do want the other and I find it weird to ask for a "girl toy" for my son and vice versa. These Skylanders were one, as my daughter liked Skylanders because my son did, and when Shopkins came out, my son liked those as well (though many of them were actually girly looking). I did like what they did with Spider-man a couple years back, though they didn't advertise it. They just said they had Spider-man toys (as sometimes they just have one generic toy for both), but if you ordered a "girl toy" they had Spider-man toys that were pink and things girls usually liked (i.e. bracelets). I didn't see them promote them anywhere, but they actually asked me one day if I wanted "boy or girl", so I ordered "girl" for my daughter wondering what the girl toy was and ended up getting the pink Spider-man toys. She loved them, as she was into Spider-man and they were pink!
