MonsterKing is young enough that he doesn’t know you could push the slider and it would work on channel 4.
Macdonalds and burger king Pokemon toys were actually of decent quality
Same with Kinder Surprise. When I was a young child, I got a flywheel mouse with multiple interlocking precision gears. I must have spent hours disassembling and reassembling it, instead and studying how all the pieces fit together. When I was an older child I got a single-piece plastic gorilla with green fur. It turned over in my hands a few times and probably threw it away.
Also, those Bionicle Happy Meal toys got me hooked on Lego Technic. Most addictive gateway drug ever.
