#a402 :: “B.O.B.” toy

March 24, 2009

032409Since my wife is a member of ASIFA we got passes to a pre-release screening of Monsters vs. Aliens tonight. Verdict: It’s no Kung Fu Panda or Bolt, but it’s got enough yuks and snappy design to make an honest buck, and I might even see it again.

They were giving away McDonald’s toys in the lobby – this is B.O.B., whose plastic incarnation swivels and rolls erratically across the table if you wind him up.

The movie industry turns out billions of toys like this in dozens of fast-food-premium deals every year, and somewhere there must be a gimme otaku whose walls are lined with every movie tie-in toy ever made.
