It's great to see some G2 acknowledgement! I can't eat at McDonalds anymore but I will let my work friends know in case they feel like a happy meal.
Conspiracy theory: Warehouse find of old McDonalds toys.
I’m just excited about that Dino Chageable!
The blind bags makes me think it's not worth driving up, sadly. I don't have much interest in the other toys.Or this, this would be a good idea!
Maaaybe the Beanie Baby collectors will get a bunch of extras while looking for the Platypus and then sell everything off for cheap.
Coming back to update, the news is official now, and this promotion will be worldwide

and yes you can buy just the toys, the cost varies from store to store since McDonald's is a franchise (it's usually 1.5$ around me), and you might even get some for free depending on if the worker is feeling less surly that day 😂
They DO remember G2!! You guys have no idea how ecstatic this makes me.
omg yesss! FINALLY someone's payin' G2 the respect it deserves! Too bad these'll probably be US-only.
Btw, for everyone lamenting over these being blind bagged, I've always found McDonald's employees to be perfectly happy to bring over a few toys so you can figure out which one you're getting (by feeling up the bags, etc) before you buy, as long as you're nice/polite, explain what you're doing and ask when the restaurant's quiet/not busy. I dunno if things are different in the US but I figured I'd say that just in case :o Good luck to everyone looking for specific toys!!

If you’re looking for something specific, I don’t mind trying to grab it for you. :-) Just let me know
McD Germany has nothing about ponies on their Happy Meal info. Instead we get Pokémon cards.
Yeah, would have been too logical to release them here. I wonder if France is getting them.
Can't wait to hear if people are getting her. I want to know if you can "feel" for her or if they make it impossible.
I hope to get one of her to add to my collection. :D

I got her! The cashier had to open up a new box to find her (thankfully she didn't mind because she was looking for a specific toy for herself), and she ended up being the only one in the whole box! The previous box just had two. I'm not sure if she's intentionally harder to find or if each box just has a random assortment.
She's very similar to the original. The new one is a shinier plastic and has screws in her back, and hollow legs. But her colors and size are pretty much a match. Her back says 2019.
Thanks for posting the side-by-side, I no longer want them. The screws and legs ruin the look.
GOT IT!!!!! I’m ridiculously happy lmao I love g2
