Put a section called "Fast Food Premiums" (which is what such items in general tend to be called) between Toys and Merchandise for all relevant characters, and move the entries there. The only potential conflict I can think of, if we consider fast food items neither toys nor merchandise, is whether the first-series BW guys would stay in the "toy-only characters" category.
