McDonald’s is set to launch a new Happy Meal collaboration featuring TinyTAN, the animated characters inspired by the members of global K-pop sensation BTS.
On Wednesday, Aug. 20, the fast-food chain announced that the promotion will launch on Sept. 3 in selected countries, including the Philippines.
McDonald’s first teased the release on Monday, Aug. 19, with an image of a Happy Meal box and seven figurines, which fans quickly recognized as the TinyTAN versions of BTS.
“For the first time ever, you’ll be treated to double the fun with two different sets of toys,” McDonald’s said in its statement.
The “Throwback Edition” will highlight the characters in outfits from the 2021 BTS Meal campaign, while the “Encore Edition,” arriving Sept. 23, will feature designs from their second collaboration.
The Philippines was also among the markets where the 2021 BTS Meal sparked massive demand, with long lines and quick sellouts, underscoring the group’s strong following in the country.
