Happy Meal Asia | UNO + Anime

McDonald’s in Southeast Asia has diverse synergies and different markets under one region. It may not be like in Oceania with Australia and New Zealand, but with the way things work with cultural relatability, certain franchises or IPs are well known in this side of the region.This adds a unique difference between the toys released on the other side of the globe. In capturing the right audience, McDonald’s Asian rollout at the start of the year was inspired by popular anime from Japan, with Crayon Shin-Chan last month, and now, a collaboration between Mattel’s iconic card games with UNO and two Anime Series!

Happy Meal 2024 | Playmobil Wiltopia

It’s been a while since McDonald’s Happy Meal developed a tie-up unrelated to animation, movies, or video games. But a collaboration with famous toys from all over the world particularly from Germany. It might not be as popular in Asia, but Playmobil has been synonymous with quality toys that make kids tell their stories. For McDonald’s latest Happy Meal offering, they’re bringing the Playmobil brand with the Wiltopia range of animals. “Wiltopia” is Playmobil’s latest range of toys based on popular animals from all over the world, and the German toy brand has a tie-up with McDonald’s with this special promoting wildlife with select animals.

Happy Meal 2021 | Rise of Gru Wave II

McDonald’s drops a surprising Happy Meal for the month of June 2021 with another set of Minions from the Rise of Gru sequel, which the screen date has been pushed from July 2021 to next year. For those who are unaware this is considered a second wave of toys as the first wave was released sometime late in November 2020. The unexpected release of this second set of Minions is also the opportunity for collectors to get some of the characters that were supposed to be exclusive in other countries. This means another set bump up the number of minions from last year with another set of 20 characters that were sighted at one of the stores in Manila.

Happy Meal 2021 | Doraemon at 50

There have been very few properties that would last five decades, and Doraemon can claim that feat for being around probably longer than your grandparents. Doraemon is a Japanese Manga series written and illustrated by Fujiko Fujio (the pen name of the duo Hiroshi Fujimoto and Motoo Abiko). The series has been successful becoming a media franchise due to its popular anime series. If you’re a popular anime series there would be countless merchandise, which Doraemon has been known for. With that in mind the earless robotic cat from the 22nd century turns fifty with a tie-up to celebrate its anniversary is presented in the latest Happy Meal.
