Set Information
The set consists of eight pieces. At least three different versions of the set has been released.
It was originally included in McDonald's Happy Meals in September 2001 in the US as one of the six "Tohunga" sets. Each Happy Meal came with one of the six sets, randomly selected. The packaging labeled the set as number 4 out of 6, and and had the recommended age of 4+.
The set was also released through McDonald's in Australia during 2002.[1] The packaging of this version featured a caution label in place of the warnings found on the American version. It also did not contain a piece count, and featured a different Happy Meals logo.
It was then released through various retailers in European countries, including France, during 2002.[2] This version did not contain the McDonald's branding, or the warning labels and piece count found on the American packaging, and had a recommended age of 7+ instead of the 4+ found on the McDonald's releases. In Russia, this polybag could be found packaged with a box containing 18 playing cards.[3]
