Mail-Away (Burger King)
YEAR
2001
PACKAGING
Mail-Away (Burger King)
COLOR
This figure was part of the Burger King promotional venture done for The Fellowship of the Ring.
It required 3 or 4 Proof of Purchase (POPs) and receipts to be mailed in. In return a Uruk-Hai with Helmet was sent in the mail packaged in a white mailer box. This Uruk-Hai uses the same Lurtz body found in the FOTR Green Twin Pack that included Boromir and Lurtz but uses a different head.
With the release of the DVD in August of 2002, the offer was again continued, only this time limited to 1 per household.
This promotion would be limited to a maximum of 5000 figures. Once this limited was reached, the initial Uruk-Hai offering was replaced with a Lurtz and no accessories.
Each mail-away version can be identified by the text found on the white mailer box. This version reads:
BURGER KING MAIL AWAY- URUK-HAI with Helmet
ITEM# 81009 (RUN OF 5000)
2ND LINE READS "BURGER KING"
