So, I took my daughter to McDonald’s the other day and hooked her up with her favorite Happy Meal (hamburger, white milk and apple dippers, hold the caramel sauce), and we got the crappiest toy I’ve seen in ages. I worked at McDonald’s back in the early 90s, so I’m more than familiar with the concept of not expecting a whole lot from Happy Meal toys, but this is just sad. Princess Leia - they decided that because my daughter’s a girl, she needed the Star Wars princess, I guess - Princess Leia’s head slapped on bobble-style to a random Star Wars spaceship. That’s the toy. Oh, it has a set of wheels on the bottom so you can attempt to push it along Hot Wheels style, but it really just falls over as soon as Carrie Fisher’s oversized dome starts bopping side to side.

These toys are so bad that my two year old, who has been entertained for hours on end by Happy Meal box in the past, played with this thing for 30 seconds and handed it to me with a “Here you go, Dad.”
