In a few weeks in September Power Rangers Samurai is finally coming to McDonalds. I expected this to happen. There is eight toys: Samurai Megazord, Gold Ranger, Red Ranger, Blue Ranger, Spin Disc, Fire Smasher Cannon Blast mode, Hydro Bow and a spinner thing. I have covered what toys there has been before in McDonalds (it sure has been a lot) and what I liked and didn't. The girl toy is iCarly. My niece and nephew (Jaiden) frequent McDonalds a lot. I even had a poll about it. STARTS SEPTEMBER 16, 2011

I recently checked it out, and the Happy Meal box only has Red, Gold and Blue and has their names but lacks Mike (:(), who seems to be the fan favorite (with kids too). I got the Red Ranger spinner toy and it is quite detailed even though it lacks paint. The following is my own creation:
Instead of iCarly, they should had made a girl version for PR. I would had the spinner be Yellow's weapon and have a cheaper version of the toy. And I couldn't think of a replacement for the Megazord. For the turtle on the spin disc sword, I use the turtle they have in the actual background of the picture. I also used the girl weapons from the Bandai America Mega Mode toys. The photoshop is badly done on purpose, for people not to think its real.Official Press Release:
