Fast Food Toy Review of the action figure set:
In Australia they had four different toys made for the film release there. The toys came in nicely designed boxes with characters on the front of the box and a background scene on the back of the box. The first toy was the same as the US version of Morph minus the map piece stand. The other three toys were Spinners of B.E.N., John Silver, & Jim. The spinner tops measured about 3" inches wide.
