    I don’t like McDonald’s but my husband does, and he’s not opposed to Happy Meals… will have to persuade him he needs a treat 😂

    I gave up McDonald’s (horrible food poisoning) so this is an easy skip for me.

    Plus this was totally spoiled months ago, so not surprised by this.

    Oh cool! I get Happy Meals anyway (for cheapness and bc the amount of food is right) so I might swing by . . .

    I feel like mcdonalds has done some really great collaborations recently. There was a pokemon one a couple of months ago, which saw me deliberately visit!

  6. Will McDonald Uk be part of this?? We’ve already missed out on the last collab 😭😭

    I find happy meals an interesting approach, compared to last time with the general adult meal. I guess they’re targeting merch collectors specifically – “oh I need to go seven times to get seven members.”

    Anyway as a former fast food worker my thoughts are with the employees having to deal with people trying to collect all the figures 😅.

    Hopefully we can just buy the toys after buying just 1 happy meal. Don’t want this to be like the Pokemon card issue in Japan. Unless this is just exclusive in one country?

  9. yay! i was wondering when it would be! i remember someone had posted the happy meal schedule some time ago! i thought it was line friends themed though but must have remembered wrong.

    we have a kid and we got to mcdonald’s a lot unfortunately. so excited to be able to have a couple! idk if it’s going to be like the ninja turtles one where 2/4 times we have gotten them a happy meal it’s been out of stock and got a book which is really cool too!

  10. There will be a mixed response to this one, but I’ll add in my two cents. I’ve been a fan since 2017 (which omg at this point was almost 10 years ago). I was not too bothered by their partnerships with Samsung or MediHeal or what not back in the day because I felt that those companies are their home territory and helped their image.

    Immediately before the Pandemic, they partnered with McDonald’s. Honestly as an avid fan, I felt at that time disappointed by that partnership because McDonald’s is the epitome of sleazy corporate America. By association, I felt that partnership diluted their image as serious artists and promoted a more “cash cow” image. Many fans at the same time were feeling unsure of how to accept the all English pop-formula songs that were coming out at the same time as well like Butter, Dynamite, and Permission to Dance. Honestly, I still liked some of these songs and I still liked the albums released during Pandemic.

    However, I think right now collaboration with McDonald’s and Coca-Cola in this current political climate is very tone deaf on the part of BigHit and Hybe. These brands are widely associated with a very serious issue globally, the protests regarding which are taking place in South Korea too. Granted, some idols do not want to take a stance politically. That has never been BTS though and they are also UNICEF representatives. At the very least, the smart move for their production company would have been to avoid brands right now that are the most politically inflammatory.

    On a personal level though, I just am again a little disappointed that the artists who I cherish because of their messages of healing, self-love, and standing up against what isn’t right would turn a blind eye to an extremely important crisis that’s dividing the world right now.

    well, it looks like it will be aviable only in US, so – it’s an easy skip for me in Europe… xd

  12. McDonald’s are my go-to for drive thru when I’m on a road trip but I never enjoyed the Happy Meal deals even when I was a kid.

    But if this becomes available in Canada, I’ll still try to get one lol McDonald’s did the Grinch Happy Meal last year with the Grinch socks instead of a toy and that was nice.

  13. I’m not in favor of orchestrated boycotts of any kind—I leave that up to each person—but I make my buying decisions based on my own research and personal beliefs, so much like Goya, Uline, Hobby Lobby, Sticker Mule and so on, this is a pass for me. TBH though, I’d actually have to START consuming McD’s or Coke in order to boycott them anyway so not a hardship.

    ETA: Unlike some, if the situation were different like it was with their first McD’s collab, I’m really not bothered by it. I think fast food is perfectly fine as long as it’s not a regular thing, and while it may not be as prestigious as some ultra high-end fashion line that the vast majority of us can never hope to afford, I actually like that they do things that are approachable and achievable. But unfortunately, right now this comes off as extremely out of touch.

  14. Not a huge mcd fan, especially as of late. But if they bring back the sweet chili sauce from the last bts meal I might have to budge😭

  15. ShinyVanillite on

    If this won’t be available in Germany like the BTS meal I’ll throw hands 😭 My workplace is close to a McD…

    this might sell out in like 2 days. I’m a huge Sanrio fan so I’ve been collecting the current Sanrio (Hello Kitty) x TMNT collab that dropped the 12th and some McDonald’s in my area were out of the toys by this weekend. I imagine this is going to be even more coveted so if you want one you’re going to have to be on it.

    This is different than their collab a few years back with their favorite meal with the speciality sauces. I will definitely be trying!

  17. I didn’t know these toys are still there. I remember when my little cousin asked me to buy it for her.

  18. aerithstrifee on

    I’ve seen so many tiktoks of people getting the hello kitty x ninja turtle ones, and now ones im finally interested in!! will definitely try to get all 7 😌
