That sure rings a bell! I think it might've been some regional promo thing. I've seen Happy Meal toys with VHS tapes attached, so you could be spot on. I'll def keep an eye out in my collecting circles for you. These kind of mash-up tapes have a cult following, so don't be surprised if they turn up when you least expect it. Got any more deets or remember any characters or specific commercials?

I think you might be onto something. I recall a short-lived series of claymation superhero tapes, potentially promotional items not just at McD's but other fast food joints too. They weren't mainstream enough for mass production, explaining the rarity. Better start digging through old forums and asking collectors. Document everything! Finding lost media is all about piecing together the puzzle from scraps of info. Who knows, you could be the one to uncover a piece of pop culture history!

Whoa, that brings back memories! I think you’re talking about one of those 'Clay Heroes' series that came out around that time. They were not as mainstream, but I totally remember getting a VHS tape like that from a McDonald's Happy Meal! I’d say your best bet is scouring local yard sales or asking in forums dedicated to vintage animation or even fast-food collectibles. Good luck, dude!

omg yes, totally remember those! can't remember the name for the life of me tho... wanna say it had 'adventure' or 'quest' in the title?? Happy meal toys were so cool back then. Might be worth askin' around in some retro Facebook groups, people there are usually super helpful with stuff like this.
