American collectors will have to wait an extra week compared to Canada. However, the US promotion is also scheduled to run a week longer, continuing through December 14.
McDonald’s Pokémon Happy Meals Also Include Plastic Toys
The Pokémon cards aren’t the only collectibles included this year. Plastic Pokémon Happy Meal toys are returning. This is big news for fans, as its the first time in over eight years since the promotion has included Pokémon toys.
The collection features 15 Pokémon designs made to look like tiny Happy Meal boxes. Each toy includes a pull-out keyring that lets you attach it to a bag or belt loop. Yes, you can now carry a miniature Pokémon Happy Meal around with you. It’s freakin’ adorable – I know!
The toy’s cardboard packaging also contains two randomly selected cards from the 15-card collection. Meanwhile, the full-size Happy Meal boxes feature Pikachu, Umbreon, or Torchic designs.
The toy lineup includes:
- Bulbasaur
- Charmander
- Eevee
- Espurr
- Minccino
- Munchlax
- Pikachu
- Piplup
- Rowlet
- Sobble
- Sprigatito
- Squirtle
- Torchic

Interestingly, there are also regional differences. PokéBeach reports that Quebec and Norway will receive four-card booster packs instead of the plastic toys. For collectors elsewhere, this year’s promotion offers two collections to work through: the Pokémon cards and their tiny Happy Meal companions.
