There’s a major issue concerning the upcoming release of “Hoodwinked Too! Hood vs. Evil”. And it’s not whether or not the Weinstein Co. might pull the film at the last minute and make us wait even longer to see it or if movie is going to be as good as the original. No, the big question is: Is Burger King going to re-release their “Hoodwinked Too!” toys?
If you remember, the film was originally schedule to come out in January of 2010, but then the date was changed and “HT!” disappeared for awhile. But Burger King still decided to give out the character toys, in Jan. ’10, which didn’t make a lot of sense. Of course fans and collectors (including yours truly) picked-up all 6 toys, hoping that someday we’d actually get to see the movie.
Well that day is about to come – April 29 – but now that the movie is actually coming to theaters, will B.K. bring back the toys? It would be great if they did. I’m sure a lot of people didn’t take them the first time because they didn’t know anything about the movie. I bet there’s a warehouse somewhere filled with the 6 characters:
Wheelie Ridin’ Wolf
Fast Talkin’ Twitchy
Beam Hoppin’ Granny
Cart Wheelin’ Woodsman
Power Kick Red
and Hansel and Gretel
Right now Burger King is wrapping-up their “Hop” toys campaign, just in time to bring back “HT!” Come on, B.K., find the toys and bring them back. Kids everywhere deserve them. I’ll even buy a second set!
