The toys depict all of the planets plus the moon and the sun. Each toy comes in a plastic bag labeled “Planets: Collect Them All!” A paragraph on the bag also says: “Parents: This toy has been safety-tested for children of all ages.” The planet toy itself says “Chick- fil-A Inc. 1999,” “1998 Namkung Promotions Inc,” and “China.”
