American and Canadian "Subway" Restaurants are doing a Pokémon promotion! Four toys will be available with their kids meal. They're "interesting" to say the least.

This news item is more than 45 days old. Updates are unlikely and newer information may already be available.

The promotion will be running all the way until May 8th, and all of the toys are apparently themed around being "active", in an effort to make Subway not sound like the McDonald's of the mid-market big-sandwich industry.

Here's a run down of the toys available. Here's how the press release described the toys, and what British Prime Minister Tony Blair's former spin-doctor, Alistair Campbell, makes of the toys:

"Crazy Poke Ball" - Just try and guess where the Poke Ball will go next - rolling a different path every time, this toy will keep kids surprised!.

"Why don't they call it a KRAZY Pokéball?!"

"Deoxys(TM) Whirl" - Throw the Deoxys Whirl ball high into the sky, then watch as its tail spins around! This toy features Deoxys - the newest Pokemon character featured in the new home video movie release "Pokemon: Destiny Deoxys".

"I think this is the toy for me! I love spinning!"

"Pokemon Lacrosse Stick" - Children will have a great time tossing and catching a ball, with Groudon, Kyogre, and Pikachu highlighted on the lacrosse stick handle.

"Wow! What a relevant Pokémon-related product! I want one!"

"Rayquaza(TM) Disc" -- Rayquaza, also a star from "Pokemon: Destiny Deoxys," graces the handle which spins in the opposite direction of the 6-inch (15 cm) flying disc.

"Wow! It's just like the Rayquaza in the game!"

In addition, a safety-designed "Mega Bloks(R)' Little Farm" three-piece toy premium is available for toddlers 18 months and older. Included with each Pokemon toy premium is a $3 savings coupon, redeemable with the purchase of "Pokemon: Destiny Deoxys" on DVD or video.

"Three pieces?! That'll be a really little farm!"

...and that's the general gist of it. If you manage to get any of these toys, why not take some photos and send them to PUK? All of the staff are European skanks who don't like Ann Coulter, so we can't really get to America... unless someone wants to pay for ourselves and our families to have an all expenses paid trip to New York including a trip up the Empire State Building. Hint, hint.
