Darn they should have done this. Would have loved to get Spyro's card. Saw a Rhinoceros. Reference to the Rhynocks?

Neat! Wonder around what time they planned to use this?

Re: Cancelled Spyro McDonald's happy meal promotion

Unless they were going to change the art style back to pre-LoS for SK, that seems unlikely. And from what little I've seen of the game, it looks like they were going to go with something similar to DotD for the art direction. 

This looks more like promotional material for ETD or maybe one of the earlier handheld games. I'm going to guess Attack of the Rhynocs because I remember there being some younger dragons in (I think) the first home world.

Interesting find!

No, it has nothing to do with artstyle. It was McDonald's generating ideas for a potential Spyro's Kingdom Happy Meal promo. They used Stock images of classic Spyro as a placeholder. KEEP IN MIND- this guy worked at McDonald's only in recent years. REMEMBER how Spyro's kingdom was gonna have some sort of 'Design your own dragon' feature? This easily ties in with that.

Ahh, I didn't know about the placeholder thing. In that case, you could easily be right. Interesting!
