I know when I was younger and ate Happy Meals every other week or so I was way more interested in getting a Hot Wheels car than a Barbie doll. The same goes for little kids today about Mulan, I guess. I'd rather have the stupid plastic monster than the stupid plastic Mulan doll, even now, if I had to take my pick.

There aren't any seedy messages in giving kids little plastic "monsters". It's a character from a popular form of media, which draws the children's attention because it's something they recognize.

But honestly, some people will find a conspiracy in anything. The world does NOT operate according to the X-Files, as interesting as that would make it.
