McDonalds Bambi Happy Meal Set

In the past I’ve given Nick a hard time over what a huge Bambi fan he is (and I’ll probably do it again in the future), but Bambi is certainly a movie packed with many adorable characters…and sadness…and murder.  But I digress.  Who knew that once upon a time, Happy Meals contained such cute and durable Disney toys?  Do they still do that?  Are any of you in-the-know?  What other cool stuff from Happy Meals is out there?

McDonalds Bambi Happy Meal Set

I picked this Bambi McDonalds Happy Meal Set up at the Columbus Flea Market in New Jersey for $2! They were released in 1988.

Friend Owl

I’ve always wondered why Friend Owl never had a proper name like the other woodland creatures. Unless Friend is his first name.

Thumper has some paint wear.

Flower. All the toys were pretty dirty, and even though I gave them a bath, there are some spots that won’t come clean. But for being 25 years old, they are still in decent shape.

Bambi is being shy.

Here he comes. Do you think he knows he has a butterfly on his tail?

And there he goes.

For more posts about other Bambi items in my collection, you can search our archives at Disney Musings.

  1. Sadly, it’s been several years since Disney and McFonald’s had a contract to produce happy meal toys. I have several excellent sets, and still till this day discover ones I didn’t know about.
