McDino Changeables (1991)Open the little Happy Meal box and it changes into a dinosaur. Other toys in the series start as fries, a shake, or a burger. Look for dinosaur parts on the inside to tell these apart from the earlier food-to-robot Changeables.0 - 2
Space Jam Happy Meal Figures (1996)Look for Bugs Bunny or Lola Bunny among the basketball-themed mobile figures. Marvin the Martian, a Monstar, and the Nerdluck figures extend the set beyond the Tune Squad. The soft plush toys were sold separately.0 - 3
Teenie Beanie Babies First Series (1997)Patti the Platypus helps identify this first U.S. series. The miniature plush animals came individually bagged, and Patti’s bag identifies it by name. Check the packaging and size when a loose toy looks like one of Ty’s full-size retail animals.0 - 4
Super Mario Bros. 3 Happy Meal Toys (1990)Spring-loaded Mario and Luigi riding a cloud distinguish this early Nintendo set. You may find 1989 molded into toys from the 1990 U.S. promotion, so a date stamp alone does not identify when someone got one in a meal.0 - 5
Inspector Gadget Build-a-Figure (1999)The pieces went together to build one Inspector Gadget. A hat, a torso, and different left and right limbs are easy to mistake for incomplete individual toys unless you remember they came separately. The siren hat had an action of its own.0 - 6
101 Dalmatians Puppy Figures (1996–1997)The pictured display shows a selection of spotted dogs in different poses and costumes. The U.S. giveaway began late in 1996 and ran into 1997. Look at clothing and props when matching a loose puppy to a checklist, and keep in mind that collectors supplied the numbering.0 - 7
Furby Happy Meal Toys (1999)These small plastic Furbys came in multiple colors. Compare the ears, feet, and action as well as the color, because some bodies came in several versions. The 2000 plush clips belong to a later promotion.0 - 8
Tamagotchi Keychains (1998)The egg shape was familiar, but the Happy Meal versions were keychain toys with different small tricks and displays. Look at what the front actually does to tell one apart from another or from Bandai’s retail virtual pets.0 - 9
My Little Pony Happy Meal Figures (1998)Ivy, Light Heart, and Sundance make up this three-pony U.S. set. Match the pony’s colors and molded pose against those three names. McDonald’s offered these little figures alongside Transformers Beast Wars toys in the same promotion.0 - 10
Transformers: Beast Wars Happy Meal Toys (1996)Match Rhino or Panther to the animal printed on the original display. The 1996 toys turned into animals such as a beetle and a manta ray. If you remember named Transformers characters like Blackarachnia instead, check the Transmetals promotion from 1998.0
