Where can I find "Jack in the Box" toys?

[DisneyBoy]

Hey Guys, I really want to see what those "Jack in the Box" restaurant toys look like! Is there a website I can go to to see them? McDonalds usually displays their toys online, is there a Jack the in Box website? Also, is it a restaurant in Canada (I've never heard of it before), so is it in the states or the UK? Please let me know thanx guys:)

Dunno about a website, but Jack in the Box is indeed a U.S. company... western U.S., that is. You won't find them east of the Mountain Time Zone. I had them once during a road trip... not bad, as far as fast food goes.

Unless you want to take a road trip yourself just for these toys, I'd try ebay or a similar auction site. You'd be surprised how popular fast food toys are...

You Canadian DisneyBoy? Becuase Jack In The Box is US-Only.

if you go to Yahoo and search "American Dream Comics", they have a picture of the toys. i also put one in the photo album of my yahoo club JLA Animated, but you gotta become a member to check 'em out. sorry...

I only know about them because I visited San Diego once. Every now and then Leno will mention the chain on his show, but other than that, they are relatively obscure to most of America, as far as I know.

I don't collect toys (tho I have a couple Harley figures!) but if I did I would be rather jealous of you who can get them!

I read the full article, it's located here:

http://www.americandreamcomics.com/sys-tmpl/dctoycollectingnews/

Scroll down, it's below the MM3 thing.

Here's the deal:

"We have gotten several emails from people telling us about this cool new set of DC figures from Jack In The Box. The set contains Steel (unsnap him to reveal John Henry), Batgirl ( Pull down the lever in back for karate kick action), Robin (with catapult to jump into action), Batman (batarang for climbing action), Hawkman ( push the button in back to make wings flap), Supergirl (pull down on the lever on the back for punching action), Wonder Woman (spins her magic lasso over her head), Captain Marvel (with lighting effect), & Superman (with chain snaping action). You will be able to order these in a few weeks straight from the company by calling 1-800-955-5225. However no price was given. Thanks to everyone who wrote in about these."

Gah dang..I love being able to edit your posts! :)

Unless you happen to live on the west cost, most Americans would never realize that Jack in the Box exists.

I live in Missouri and there are Jack in the Boxes all over the place around here. So if you are in the midwest, you've got a shot at finding the toys. And it's funny, I've seen so many Jack commercials on TV, I just assumed they were all on national network advertising time. They must be using more spot market advertising than I realized.

actually, once you open the things up, they're pretty cool. the best ones are batgirl, supergirl, robin, and hawkman. i managed to get them all, thanks to a friend who traveled all over the city of charlotte late last night. if anyone desprately wants a set and can't get one, i think i can get a few extra, so drop me a line...

I wonder how long it will be before they show up in Kansas City, then?

These toys are pretty cool actually. The Robin figure is actually in scale with the TNBA figures so now I have a new rendition of Robin. He's better than the original in some ways because he has a shorter torso and longer legs making him more accuare to the series. Unfortunately none of the other figures are to scale with standard 5 inch figures.
