McDonald's Peanuts Toys 2015
So of course when these toys came out, I had to collect them all! The release of the Peanuts movie resulted in new merchandise from stores such as Target, Walmart, the Hallmark Store, and of course, McDonald's. I wasn't really a fan of their food at the time, so instead of buying 12 Happy Meals to collect them all, I just went into any McDonald's I could find and asked if I could buy the toys separately. I believe each one was around $2. I also learned that they released their toys in cycles and have about three different ones at a time, so I had to wait a bit before trying to buy more. I managed to buy 10 of the toys at McDonald's, but two of them I had to buy from eBay.
My favorite toy is definitely the Snoopy spinning below the tree with Woodstock's nest in it. This was one of the most popular. Then we have Snoopy spinning atop Schroeder's piano, and Snoopy and Sally going for a sled ride. If you pull Linus' blanket, it will retract back into his hands. The Charlie Brown hugging Snoopy and the Woodstock are both bobble heads. The Charlie Brown and Lucy toys will say quotes from the movie if you press the buttons on their backs. Woodstock will spin as you push his little Zamboni. Peppermint Patty's sled can be pulled back and let go of to accelerate her. Flying Ace Snoopy has wheels, but you have to push him along. My least favorite character is definitely Fifi, but the toy was pretty fun. If you squeeze the sides of the image of Snoopy behind her dish, she will be propelled forward.
I was really happy with all of these toys, and I'm really glad I had a chance to collect them all. If you are looking to purchase any of these toys, I recommend searching for them on eBay.

Limited Edition Pez Dispensers
I'm kind of a sucker when it comes to anything that says "limited edition", especially when it comes to Peanuts.I thought this Pez dispenser gift set was the cutest thing ever! I'm not really a big fan of the candy because it tastes kind of medicinal to me, but I love the dispensers. I don't think I'll ever unbox this because of how the packaging is made to look like Snoopy's doghouse. This gift set is still available as of today, but the price has risen a bit, depending on where you buy it from. I would recommend searching eBay if you are interested, but I will also post a link to another site where this is available.

Hallmark Store Peanuts Plushies
So I recently got some new Peanuts plushies. The Snoopy and Woodstock on the left come as a pair, and are made out of material similar to microfiber cloth. The Charlie Brown and Snoopy on the right were apparently sold around Christmastime, but you can still find them in other stores that sell Hallmark merchandise such as Walgreens, Raley's, and more.

Update
Haven't been very active on this blog in a few years, but with the (somewhat) recent release of the Peanuts movie, I feel like I should post a little bit more of my collection. If I can, I will try to provide links to where you can buy the items.

Stickers
This is just a sheet of Snoopy stickers, but I think they're so cute! I got them for Christmas from my cousins.
Yahtzee
This is the Peanuts 60th anniversary, collector's edition yahtzee. I got it from a little toy store at the mall. It's really cute, but I haven't played it because as you can see, it is in the box. I just like to have it. And display it. Along with most other Peanuts items I have.
