| 09.27.2019 – For those who are not updated, and not tracking what’s new in the toy meal culture world the latest Happy Meal for McDonald’s in Southeast Asia features Transformers Cyberverse and My Little Pony. Two of Hasbro’s brands have been synonymous with McDonald’s toys that every year there’s a new set released.
The latest toys were released last Friday 20 September 2019 and usually the promo runs for the next twenty eight days. Now this is not the first time the latest series from the Transformers brand with the current animated series titled “Transformers Cyberverse” as this is the second iteration with first released in 2018. |
The latest toys, whoever is based on the current “Spark Armor” toys that is available on retail featuring four of the familiar characters, while My Little Pony toys feature more translucent colors for the famous characters from the series.
There are four Transformers based from the characters appearing in “Transformers Cyberverse” and they are Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Megatron, and Starscream with each character having extra “vehicle” accessories. The ones release in June 2018 where super deformed version of Prime, Bumblebee, and Megatron with Windblade.
The goes with the previous released MLP, but for 2019 the My Little Pony version appears to be translucent versions. But still retains the features of each character having rooted tails. They are interesting enough to pass up as an art toy with the current aesthetics that is currently not only a hit among girls but Brony (Male Fandom of MLP) Fans too.
Exclusive Only Outside Southeast Asia
There are EIGHT toys to collect for both boys and girls; however some adult collectors have been sharing their concerns that it lacks four more toys from Transformers, while another four for My Little Pony. The majority of these toys where first available in Mexico, Peru and Taiwan, while other countries like Switzerland did not get a full set, but having six each toys for Transformers and MLP.
For the Transformers in other region there are EIGHT characters and the four that DID NOT make it in Southeast Asia are Grimlock, Prowl, Shockwave, and Jetfire. For the My Little Pony there four characters namely Apple Jack, Starlight Glimmer, Spike, and Twlight Sparkle. This depends on each regional market what characters or toys are available it is mainly the decision of the main satellite distributor for each region. Even the North America that includes the US does not have these toys in their McDonald's similar to how Australia had released the last Robots in Disguise toys having Drift as an exclusive not available in other regions.
Currently in the Philippines all eight toys are now available beginning 20 September 2019 and promo will possibly run for twenty eight days or while supply last. This means if the demand is high they can be sold out less than two weeks so for those diehard collectors of Happy Meals or promo toys by other Fast Food Restaurants get them while they’re still available.
