Green Hornet toys at a burger joint? What? Was I reading that correctly? I first heard the news of The Green Hornet toys at Carl's Jr. via their Twitter account. I immediately tweeted back to them that there are no Carl's Jr. restaurants in my vicinity for thousands of miles, (which isn't an exaggeration) but I desperately wanted to get my hands on these toys. I've been a Green Hornet fan since my father introduced me to the classic radio shows on his old Philco radio when I was a kid, then by the time I saw the Batman TV series, I was already familiar with the character. Even though there have been a few toys associated with The Green Hornet, there's just something memorable about collecting movie/fast food tie in toys.
Carl's Jr. Green Hornet and Kato Action Figures
The Carl's Jr. Twitter account told me to follow them and they would try to work something out. I waited a few days and heard nothing back, so I immediately wrote them off as a second rate fast food craphole that for some asinine reason only exists out west. Sorry if you swear by their food, but it must be the same type of feeling if you live in state that doesn't have a White Castle...you poor thing! I feel for you because that truly sucks.
About to spring into action wearing Carl's Jrs.' Green Hornet Toy Mask
Scouring ebay for these toys at a ridiculous price would probably be my destiny, although I did have an alternate plan up my sleeve. I started to think of people I knew in states that had Carl's Jr. restaurants to see if maybe they could hook a brother up. Meanwhile, my stealthy girlfriend, who can't tell the difference between The Green Hornet and The Green Lantern, had a little covert operation of her own going on. She asked her cousin out in California to get me the toys and send them to Jersey. What a girl! So f*ck Carl's Jr. for not getting back to me and not having a location in Jersey! BOO to them. And thank you to Miss Sexy Armpit and her cousin for confidentially procuring the Green Hornet toys for me!

I would've totally snagged them for you if I was anywhere remotely near a Carl's Jr. My dad introduced me to the Hornet when I was a kid. I remember buying him a mega GH cassette tape set of the old radio show too. Like in '96-'98. Long time ago.
Corinne, Jamdin, and Major Mack - thanks for reading!
Strange Kid, thanks! I guess Carls Jr signed a deal to do promos for the GH movie
Michael - Is it that good? I never ate at Carls Jr.
Eric - I forgot that I could ask you, I'll keep that in mind for when GH2 comes out! lol
Erick - thanks again man, that was really awesome I'm going to pay you back very soon!
