ASIA-only McDonald's MONSTERS INC
Sulley

No Randall yet. :-(


Type: plastic figures
Manufacturer: McDonald's Happy Meal items, Asia only
(nearly sold) Out now in Singapore

The final set has been, as expected, one of the hardest to get hold of. Sulley and Randall Boggs make up the final 2 releases of the 6 piece series, and being the mainstay good guy and bad guy respectively, they're pretty popular. 

It's been extremely irritating trying to figure out when McDonald's is changing their Happy Meal toys. After the Boo and Roz set made an early appearance barely days after the first set was released, the whole "new toys each week" schedule has become erratic and unpredictable. Many outlets I checked (nearly daily!) this week have run out of both (how'd I miss em if I checked so often??), and have either gone back to offering the remains of the previous releases (Mostly Roz) or stopped the Monsters Inc promotion entirely, offering older unsold Disney beans or Atlantis premiums as Happy Meal toys. Oddly enough I managed to find Sulley, and not Boggs, but I suppose he's got a higher production run than the purple lizard.

SULLEY:

FEATURE: Wind up the button located in between his spinal fin-things (see pic) and he raises and lowers his arms slowly. Rather pathetic. He doesn't look like he's trying to scare ya, he looks like he's trying to help a big truck reverse into a parking lot!

SCULPT: This Sulley's pretty cute-looking, if a little misproportioned around the shoulders. He has 4 joint cuts: 2 at his shoulders, one at his neck, and one at his tail. None of them move freely. The neck and tail are glued on, and the arms move like they are one piece. By themselves they are very loose, and only work when you wind him up.  Quite a nice paint job on Sulley here. And it's pretty interesting how they decided to "hide" his wind-up button on his back, even if it is blatantly obvious. 

Randall Boggs: MIA
