BT21 X McDonald’s Happy Meal Collaborations Arriving July 14
McDonald’s
One of the most anticipated collaborations is coming to a McDonald’s Happy Meal near you. BTS’s LINE FRIENDS characters BT21 and McDonald’s have joined forces again (the last time was in 2023 in Asia) to bring the characters – KOYA (RM), RJ (Jin), SHOOKY (SUGA), MANG (j-hope), CHIMMY (Jimin), TATA (V), and SHOOKY (Jung Kook) – to you.
Starting July 14, BT21 Happy Meals will be available at participating McDonald’s restaurants for a limited time. BT21 will be IN SPACE. If you are unaware of the lore, Planet BT is where Prince TATA lives, but he wants to spread love across the world, which he does with his robot companion, VAN, as they travel to Earth and pick up new friends: KOYA, RJ, SHOOKY, MANG, CHIMMY, and COOKY. Together, they become the most influential pop-culture sensation the galaxy has ever known – just like their creators.
Last week, McDonald’s Instagram teased a video of the BT21 collaboration, fresh off last year’s Happy Meal collaboration with BTS’s other character IP, TinyTan. Like the TinyTan toys, they will be sold exclusively with Happy Meals.
What do we know?
There will be 10 unique toys – at random – in each Happy Meal. The BT21 characters will be on a ring clip like a bag chain – a very popular accessory at the moment. It looks like they may be in individual spaceships. Since VAN is the only character who does not require a spaceship, VAN will be flying freely.
But there are eight characters in BT21? Who or what are the other two?
Though it has not yet been revealed to the media at the time of posting, there will be individuals from KOYA, RJ, SHOOKY, CHIMMY, TATA, COOKY, and VAN. The other two options may be unit-based bag chains.
Is there anything else?
Like the TinyTan Happy Meals, there will be an experience on HappyMeal.com where fans can scan the QR code on their Happy Meal box to unlock some cool activities, including creating different music tracks and bringing the BT21 characters to life.
Will there be a special event?
McDonald’s x TinyTan threw an event in Los Angeles last time to celebrate the Happy Meals collaboration, but nothing has been confirmed yet, including the date or location.
When does it end?
There’s no end date, but if they run out, that may be it, since it’s for a limited time.
BT21 X McDonald’s Happy Meal Collaboration begins on July 14 at a participating McDonald’s near you.
