According to issue #91 of Lee's Action Figure News, Equity Marketing will be releasing a line of Batman Beyond fast food toys later this year, probably through Burger King since they did the last one (and being that they're a long-term client of EM).

My guess is it will probably be in conjunction with the RETURN OF THE JOKER video release. The magazine pic is kinda small, and since I don't have the means to get a scan up currently, I'll describe the set the best I can. They each have a little "action" feature:

Jokerz Leader on bike with firing ramp

Batmobile with firing ramp

Bruce Wayne
action feature? I dunno, but I bet it has something to do with the cane.

Inque
her left arm is nearly as long as her body, with a hook at the end. But I wouldn't call it "hooking" action - might be taken the wrong way, y'know.

Batman with wings-popping-up action

Batman with "jumping" action (looks like he's hurdling a wall or something)

Another one of Batman jumping something (a column, maybe)

For the last one, all I can make out are the colors: red and black. Maybe some sort of light-up Bat-insigna, from the looks of it.

Check JOKER, INC. in a few days and hopefully he'll have a pic up by then.

BTW, I received my order last week for THE BATMAN BEYOND FILES (by Scott Sonneborn and Liz Lewis; Watson-Guptill Publications) I'd asked others to speculate on when I first saw it pictured in PREVIEWS earlier this year. Turned out to be quite good, actually. Covers the entire first season of BB, with character profiles, model sheets, episode summaries, but mostly comic-style artwork. The only thing I don't like much about it (other than it being designed with kids in mind) are the cut-and-paste graphics (and overuse of differing fonts) featured on some pages are overdone to the extent that it's tacky and crowded. But it also includes 3 double-page spread posters.

I also think it's priced much too high at $12.95, but since I didn't pay that much for it, I wasn't too disappointed at least.

Here's two other items I meant to post last week, but never got around to it:

Space Jam Special Edition DVD

The DVD will feature a commentary track by Director Joe Pytka, Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck, as well as a Making-Of featurette called 'Jammin' with Bugs Bunny and Michael Jordan'. Since the movie has a lot of cool music, three music videos have also been added tp the package, namely R. Kelly's 'I Believe I Can Fly', Seal's 'Fly Like an Eagle' and the Monstars' ''Monster Anthem: 'Hit 'em High`. If you still haven't heard enough music on the disc, you will also find the film's isolated score on a separate audio track.
Of course, Warner is also adding the movie's original theatrical trailer to the release as well as some DVD-ROM features, like Weblinks, the updated theatrical website that features games and chat areas. The special editon will be released on July 25 and carry a suggested retail price of $24.98.

Michael Jordan slams, Bugs Bunny jams and the Looney Tunes stars hoop it up in this rim-rattlin' roundball romp that's an inspired blend of live-action comedy and cutting-edge animation. The Tune Squad takes on a goon squad of aliens, the Nerdlucks, in a hardcourt game to decide if the Looney Tunes stay on earth--or become attractions at an intergalactic theme park called Moron Mountain. The Nerdlucks have a monstrous secret weapon on their side--they've stolen the skills of top NBA stars like Charles Barkley and Patrick Ewing and become the Monstars. But the Tune Squad has its own weapon--the finest player in this or any universe!
