Global kid's meal toys

Fast food franchises all over the world give out toys with their kid's meals. Not all of them do, of course, but the companies know that is no better way to lure a hungry child in for lunch than with the promise of a free toy. Until recently, I generally assumed that the majority of the restaurants that did this were in the United States. Though the toys vary by location, they are distributed in even unexpected places. In the US and some other countries, the toys are very centered on cartoons and movies. In Qatar, as it turns out, they look to provide "fun and quality toys that kids can interact with" in their kid's meals. And by "interact with,"  they mean that their toys still have movable parts, because the "quality toys" are mostly likely still manufactured alongside the "quality" US kid's meal toys.

I do recall getting a surprisingly nice watch - plastic, but stylish - at a McDonald's in France, though it was about 9 years ago when the kid's meal toys seemed to be of a higher quality in general.
