Walkaround of a novelty food premium, a firefly by Chick-Fil-A Properties, Inc., originally released in 2014. I like food premium figures. They are often unique, original releases, that tend to disappear quickly after being released. As such they are often difficult to obtain and over time may fetch a bit of money to acquire them! I found this one randomly on eBay, probably not too long after it was released. I do not remember it being expensive or anything. I don’t eat fast food frequently enough to know why this was released (part of a larger animal set?).
The figure is generic and not attributable to a given species (for the sake of tagging on the Blog, I am calling it Photinus, since that is the most common firefly in eastern North America, which is likely to be the influence for a company based out of Georgia, USA). The beetle itself is 7.5 cm and the entire figure (leaf included) is 10.0 cm. The beetle is securely attached to the leaf via screws (although the legs are physically part of the base). There is a button on the bottom that, when pressed, allows the abdomen to light up [see last pic]!
So, in review this is a review of an unusual novelty item. I had never seen it at the time I bought (not even during my 9 years living in Atlanta) it and have never seen it since. If you like it and see it on eBay, snatch it up!
