I live near East Aurora. My aunt submitted all our family's kids photos to them and a few of us ended up on boxes. Her kid is on the original Bubble Mower.

Did she get money from that, or why did she do it?

No money in it for her, I think she just thought it would be fun. I don't know how she even knew it was an option. We got paid though, like 20 something bucks per shoot (an hour or 2), and something like $100 bonus if you got on the box. I remember going to Toy's R Us to get the whole TMNT toy collection after this, or maybe it was the Field Explorer, I was on that too. My allergies were horrible that day but they used the photo anyway.
