Taco Bell Episode 1 Promo Posted By Curtis on November 19, 1998
SirSteve gave us this juicy info on the upcoming Taco Bell Episode 1 promotion on his site:
1) All new Cup Toppers (Like the ones in Canada) will be made for the new film. There will be four different styles to choose from. Estimated cost will be $1.25 for Taco Bell it says, so I think the price will be $1.50 - $2.00. There will be 50 cup toppers per box, all the same style in one box. There will be no commercials featuring the cup toppers, so I am guessing they will be easier to get.
2) The new Kids Meal toys. There will be 8 different styles, with 75 per box. There will also be two premium 0+ toys, like last years Yoda. All of these products will be available for 10 weeks, or until supplies run out. They will be free with a Kids Meal or $1.49 by themselves. Each toy will come in a box like last year, with scenes from the movie, plus an exclusive trading card! There will be commercial featuring the toys.
3) OK, since George Lucas is keeping so tight lipped about all the new stuff, there is a color sheet that is attached with only the outlines of the new toys. I will try and get a scan of it as soon as I can. But for now, I will describe them the best I can, along with their descriptions.
a) Hovering W(atto) W(atto) floats above his domain! Wheel the base along and W(atto) magically hovers at different heights! (This thing looks like a flying dragon of sorts, but then again, it is only an outline)
b) D.M. Speeder (Darth Maul) Give the t-stick a rip, and D(arth) M(aul) and his flywheel-generated Speeder cross the desert of Tatooine in record time! (I think this looks like a small, box shaped vehicle like a land speeder but for one guy)
c) A(nakin) Viewer One of the best 0+ toys ever! Look through this figural bust of A(nakin) and view 3 scenes from the Planet Tatooine!
d) J.J. with Stickout Tongue (Jar Jar Binks) J(ar) J(ar) Binks is well known for his 8-foot tongue. Raise his arms and see for yourself! (They show an outline of a really odd looking alien creature, this looks like the best of all)
e) Planet Tatooine On the outside, you have a collectible, beautiful planet on a base which looks great on anyone's desktop! Upon opening the planet, you can view an action scene! (Looks like those Micro Machine things)
f)S(ebulba) Pod Racer As with A(nakin) pod racer, you now have a second chance to re-create this fast- action movie scene! Blast the air bladder and S(ebulba) pod racer speeds across the floor! (Like one of those Hotwheels where you smash that accordion looking thing and the car shoots out due to air pressure)
g) A(nakin) Pod Racer The fastest action event of the movie is the Pod Race! Re-create this scene by slamming your fist down on the air launcher, and watch A(nakin) pod racer zoom to his destiny! You can also collect S(ebulba) pod racer and pit good versus evil against eachother! (same as above, different car)
h)S(ebulba) Windup S(ebulba) is A(nakin) rival in the Pod Race. Wind S(ebulba) up to watch him walk in his alien ways! (I can't even begin to tell you how cool this looks! I looks soooooo alien, it looks like it has four long legs and no arms, and a long neck with a weird head, and it races like this)
