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.

Happy Meal 2020 | We Bare Bears

08.02.2020 – There have been great Happy Meal toys and recent releases wasn’t what collectors are hoping for.

The slowdown due to the worldwide pandemic has been a complicated challenge for companies like McDonald’s that release their Happy Meal toys. In Asia, there haven’t been toys from the fast-food giant that really was unforgettable like 101 Dalmatians or the United Nation’s Snoopy.
