archive: the "winner-less" Angry Birds toys online photo contest... (2014)

Back when I used to be a big fan of Angry Birds thanks to that one (some sort of) sweet chocolate chips brand in our country used to release their Angry Birds "egg" container toys, there were two online photo contest events that used to exist back in those of their "bird" days (specifically on their own Facebook page), which were once existed for few months in 2013 and 2014, respectively. However, I didn't participate in the former one; instead, I was once briefly participated in the latter with my cousin in the photo that I posted there back in those days. Though the former did select about the top 3 winners who used to post their own pictures of their children with their respective Angry Birds toys that they had back in those days. However, for strange reason, the latter simply didn't inform any of the winners whatsoever. Well, without further ado, let me particularly explain my own short story about how come if this particular "elite ball knowledge" still recognized on my mind until today.

Before I explained to the 2014 one that I was referring to, let me explain the throwback to the 2013 photo contest that they used to do with their own Angry Birds toys. Basically, you took a picture of yourself with your own Angry Birds toys regardless of your pose, location, the amount of those Angry Birds toys that you used to collect back then, and random props that were suited for the franchise itself. Then, you posted it on their own Facebook page specifically until the last day of the May in that year, simple as that. There were lot of pictures by those guest who posted them on that aforementioned Facebook page, and believe or not, one of the guests also featured those of the 2013 KFC Plants vs. Zombies toys as a cameo (except for one, though they didn't win it anyway)... As for those prizes for the top 3 winners in this particular online photo contest that used to exist back then, the third place got some sort of iPod knockoff (❔), the second place got a folding 🚲, and the first place got a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2.0.

Then, there was the 2014 one that I was concerned for. Similarly to the 2013 one, you took a picture of yourself with your own Angry Birds toys regardless of your pose, location, the amount of those Angry Birds toys that you used to collect back then, and random props that were suited for the franchise itself. The only difference between the 2013 and 2014 was the way how you played them instead of casually capturing yourself with your respective Angry Birds toys. Unlike the last contest, they claimed if you would win IDR 5.500.000 for doing so, instead of those items. However, after I waited it right past the May of that aforementioned year since I posted my own picture in there, specifically after few days since they passed the deadline itself (which was in the last day of that month in that year), I simply got no announcement from themselves. Seriously, I didn't even see any of their official announcement of themselves about who would come out to the top after all these years, even if I no longer being a big fan with this particular franchise anymore. Even if I used to highly doubt it if I would won the contest thanks to the way how I captured my own collection of themselves with my cousin, but I was also disappointed by the way how they simply didn't announce the winners themselves for strange reason that I obviously had no clue about it as a whole. Also, don't ask me if this was one of the reasons about the way how I quit enjoying Angry Birds and focusing more with Plants vs. Zombies stuffs, though both of the franchises are now in their absurdly dreadful state thanks to the way how both of those modern day companies behind their respective franchises ruined them to bits.

Well then, if you also remembered the time if you used to post those of your own pictures of themselves in their particular Facebook page, feel free to share your own short story in the comments section if you're able to. Anyway, that's basically it for what I sum up about this particular article, and as always, thanks for reading this particular archive article.

My action figure toy collection

For my Plants vs. Zombies collection, click here

Hi guys, are you a kind of a figure toy collector? If yes, I'm going to list some of my toy collection. For some reason, I didn't list the Plants vs. Zombies again in this blog, because I already did a deep blog about it since it's my favorite game. So, here are some of my toys:

1. Angry Birds

3 of my Angry Birds figures (actually they are an egg chocolate surprise container)

This was my first figure toys that I ever collected, and these are from the Gery Bischoc, a kind of the chocolate biscuit brand. It came with a just an egg container with that theme. For the first time, I bought the first three (red, blue and yellow) back in 2012. It's due to commercial in TV that made me interested. Then, in early 2013, I just bought some more of it, such as the red and the new black one, since I'm also interested with them due to a new commercial about them in TV. Even I started to liked the Plants vs. Zombies more, I still kept any of them until I moved to my new house. Next, after several months later, exactly at the end of the 2013, I bought some of them, like the another black and the blue one. Last but not at least,  I also bought the bigger red one, in early of 2014. Each of the containers has a different toys, and also a Gery Bischoc pack as well.

The weakness of them:

• The quality of these containers seems low.
• The black feather parts are easy to lost.

2. KFC Pokemon Pikachu

KFC Pokemon Pikachu 

Here is my other figure that I collect, and also this is my first actual figure toy that I bought from the KFC. Even I'm not a fan of this character, but I liked the performance alot. If you play it, just push the tail to lob the electro balls. Just let you know, if I bought this back from March 2014, and these things were gone forever later on.

The weakness of it:

• There are no KFC mark, instead just a "Made In China" only.

 3. KFC Spiderman 2, Yoyo with Fins

I just bought a pair of those top spinners from KFC, from May 2014. These are from the Spiderman 2. Even this isn't one of my favorites besides Plants vs. Zombies, I still liked the performance as well. If you play it, just like what you do in the generic top spinner toys, except the fins will be released after you pull it down. For some reason why I bought two, because I gave another one to my cousin. Sadly, my cousin broke it some weeks later.

The weakness of it:

• The quality of this toy seems a bit low.

Actually, there are many toys in my collection since our childhood. But, I only picked up 3 of them because they are one of the best besides the Plants vs. Zombies ones.
