Can anyone help me understand the toys in Italy that are based on the comics? From the pics I can find on ebay, I would describe them as elaborate happy meal toys that come in 1 package and sometimes multiple packages to make a bigger playset like the wizards of Mickey castle. Many of the ones That I see are vehicles with Donald, Scrooge and beagle Boys figures.
What exactly are they? Are they something that the readers buy from the publisher or are they packaged with the comic as a toy gift type item or what?
Does anyone have a list of items or a website for them?
Thanks

I know those "Burago" cars with Disney characters. They are separately sold in toy stores (or were? Are they still available?). Google: burago disney car, and you'll find pics of them. I had couple of those when I was kid in the early seventies (I lost them later, sadly).
Of others you mentioned I don't know of.

Thanks Timo, the Burango cars are neat but not really what I'm talking about. This ebay seller

has some of the items I mean. Many of them seem to be premiums that I think are issued with the magazine. Sometimes in multiple parts that when put together form a toy or playset.
If that is the case, does every issue come with something?

Indeed those have been sold with the magazine in the plastic bag. Perhaps some Italian member of DCF knows better, if those kind of things have appeared within every issue of Topolino or whatever that particular mag have been.
