McDonald’s Happy Meal

The McDonald’s Happy Meal franchise encompasses a wide range of collectible toys and figures released through McDonald’s Happy Meal promotions over several decades. While best known for its rotating licensed tie-ins, the Happy Meal program has also produced original toy concepts and figure lines that have become highly nostalgic and collectible in their own right.

Among these releases are fully realized figure concepts featuring transformation features, character designs, and play functions that go beyond simple promotional giveaways. Many Happy Meal figure lines were produced in complete waves, often with multiple variants, accessories, or mechanical gimmicks, making them appealing to collectors who focus on vintage toys, fast-food premiums, and unconventional figure lines.
