Remember Fender Bender 500? Probably not, as it was merely a segment of another series, Wake, Rattle, and Roll. It's more or less Wacky Races, but with monster trucks and a cast spanning many other Hanna-Barbera series. It only lasted a year, but by some miracle, it managed to squeak out a happy meal promotion with the Hardee's fast food chain. As far as I know, these are the only collectibles based on the show. Unsurprisingly, they're focused on the vehicles from the show.
As far as early nineties Happy Meal toys go, these aren't too shabby. Apart from the thousand-yard stare every character seems to have, they're fairly accurate representations of the characters and their vehicles. And, as a bonus, here's the box these meals came in. They've got colorful artwork of some of the characters, and a little puzzle involving road signs. I also find it funny how they had to cram in logos for both Fender Bender 500 and Wake, Rattle, and Roll onto the box.
