Lil McDonald's POP

 


My Barbies got all kinds of goodies today!  One of the shift managers at our local Micky Dee's is a friend of mine and claimed this POP (point of purchase) display on sight.  "For Jeanie, for her dolls."

Of course, we had to wait until after these toys were featured and the POP came down.  

The scale is all over the place, but that's nothing a bit of imagination can't fix.



One problem with a POP is the white squares that hold the toys in place.  They always leave some of themselves behind.  But that is absolutely not a deal breaker here.


There's your problem.


We'll start with the Happy Meals.  There's even one tray that's just a huge order of fries.  The bigger ones and the Halloween bucket open. 


 The bucket has a sticker on top of a sticker sheet.  The boxes have real sticker sheets inside.  



The scale on these is excellent for the Barbies.  


These aren't bad either.  I think a true to-scale Happy Meal box would be somewhere in between the sizes we got from this POP.  I can certainly see why my friend thought of my dolls.


The bits pictured here are almost to scale with each other, except for the giant drive up menu!  Most of these are static (they don't do anything) but the truck rolls and...


The roof comes off the building!  The interior wall is cardboard, glued in place.


Jenny for scale.


Most of these have interactive features.


The order kiosk and POP have double sided paper inserts.  POP can be empty shelves and kiosk can be in waiting mode.  The register screen tilts.


The register is a good size for the dolls.  The kiosk and POP are too small to be toys, but work well on a doll-size counter.  


The dolls' dolls can have a seat in the booth.


Drink station, fries in the fryer, burgers on the grill.  


Fries are up and burgers are seasoned.


Ice is pouring and the platen on the grill is down.


A play cell phone with the McD's app on screen and its own case! Real phone for comparison.  


A bit large for the dolls.  Maybe I could use it as a wall-mounted order kiosk.  Or Gage might be holding a really big tablet. 

Either way, quite a score!  My dolls are happy!
