McDonald's
Test Set (1987)
Set
of four: Red in radish (wobble wheels), Gobo in a carrot (wobble wheels),
Doozers in forklift, and Doozers in a bulldozer.
This
set was only issued as a test set to see if people would like them. They
were only issued in the southern part of West Virginia and were made in
very limited quantities. They are very hard to find even in the West Virginia
area.

There
is Red in a radish and Gobo in a carrot. They are both wobble wheels which
means they wobble when you roll them. The regular
ones roll smoothly. They were changed because people didn't like the
wobble wheels. There is also three Doozers in a fork lift. The fork lift
should still be attached, but this part is easily lost. The Doozer driving
the forklift is Cotterpin which is the only time she was made into a toy
figure. The last test toy is three Doozers in a bulldozer. The front of
the bulldozer moves up and down.
Ironically,
the regular set had no Doozers in it. They were replaced with Wembley
and Boober in a cucumber car, and Mokey in an egg plant car because the
people didn't like the Doozers . Now though, Doozer merchandise is highly
sought after among collectors because few items were made featuring them.

McDonald's
Vegetable Cars (1988)
Set
of four: Gobo, Red, Mokey, and Wembley & Boober. Plus two under-3
toys: Gobo and Red.
The
main toys feature the Fraggles in little cars made out of vegetables.
Gobo's in a carrot car, Red in a radish, Mokey in an eggplant, Wembley
& Boober in a cucumber.
The
under-3 toys are solid PVC's: Gobo holding a big carrot, Red with a big
radish.
Shown
to the right is the McDonald's Fraggle display case used to promote the
cars in each restaurant.

McDonald's
Happy Meal Boxes (1988)
The
Happy Meal boxes for the Fraggle Rock vegetable cars came in four styles:
a box for Gobo, a box for Red, a box for Mokey, and a box for Wembley
and Boober. Since Wembley and Boober came together in their vegetable
car, they were shown together on the fourth box.

The
boxes consisted of puzzle type of things and punch outs featuring the
Fraggle Rock characters. A few of the unnamed background Fraggle characters
appearing in a matching puzzle on the Wembley and Boober box were taken
from the Weekly Reader book "Fraggle Countdown".
There
is a fifth box that was planned, but
not used for the two Doozer test market vehicles. Only two of these are
known to exist and both boxes are just prototypes.
