Each toy also comes with a sticker sheet styled like Crocs' Jibbitz charms, designed to let enthusiasts customise their tiny shoes with icons and characters.
The collaboration follows a similar campaign in the United States, which proved popular with fans and collectors.
McDonald's Australia expects similarly strong demand locally.
'After a huge response to the Crocs Happy Meal in the US, we knew we had to bring the fun Down Under,' Marketing Director of Menu and Brand for McDonald's Australia Amanda Nakad said.
'Crocs are all about comfort and self-expression,
'With eight bold designs, mini shoeboxes, and Jibbitz sticker sheets, this collab is the perfect mix of individuality and fun we know Aussie families will love,
'Get set to collect! The Happy Meal you've been waiting for is here.'
The Crocs Happy Meal will be available from 10:30am to midnight for a limited time only in participating restaurants across Australia.
Customers can order via the front counter, drive-through, kiosks, or through the MyMacca's app.
As usual, the Happy Meal comes with a choice of a hamburger, cheeseburger, Chicken McNuggets or grilled chicken snack wrap, along with apple slices and a small drink.

Cherished Aussie DJ unveils latest move in career venture
Adored Aussie DJ Fisher and his wife Chloe are shaking up their alcohol brand Hard Fizz with the launch of a new range. Two refreshments will be joining the Gold Coast-based company's beloved selection of hard seltzers, with the release of a pineapple and lemonade flavoured vodka drink. Fisher said a vodka beverage had been on the cards since the brand burst onto the scene in 2020. 'Most people don't know this, but we almost did a vodka first — and god knows there were a lot of conversations about that — but seltzers were all the rage back in 2020 so we jumped on that bandwagon to get things going,' he said. 'I'm glad people love the seltzers as much as me but when we saw how much people are starting to drink vodka, it was a bloody no brainer. 'All I can say is: let's get fizzy.' Plans to bring the the Grammy-nominee's vodka plan to fruition were solidified by new data pointing to an increase in spirit's popularity. Circana research found vodka consumption was up by 12.7 per cent among Aussies in the 12 months to last December. Hard Fizz CEO Wade Tiller said the new range caters to a growing population of people wanting to indulge in a guilt-free alcoholic option. 'It's a bit of a catch cry for us: 'sweeter on the lips, light on the rig' but it's what people want,' he said. Hard Fizz's new vodka range.

'Almost half of all vodkas sold lately are in that 'better for you' class and I fully expect that to keep increasing.' The career venture comes after Fisher and podcaster Chloe announced on Saturday they will be welcoming their second child to the world. Hard FIZZ'S pineapple and lemonade vodka are available in select WA stores now. Credit: Hard FIZZ Chloe took to social media to upload a joint post with the national music treasure to let the world know about the soon-to-be arrival of their 'little miracle'. The couple own Hard Fizz alongside a star-studded list of owners and ambassadors including DJ Tigerlily, celebrity chef from Masterchef season three Hayden Quinn and retired Adelaide Crows captain Rory Sloane. West Aussies are able to get their lips around the new boozy refreshments in the lead-up to summer, with the range now available at select bars, Dan Murphy's, IGA Plus Liquor, Bottlemart, Cellarbrations, BWS, and Liquor Barons stores across the State.

West Aussies have lost $30 million to celebrity and cryptocurrency scams since 2024
Imagine your entire superannuation and life savings vanishing in one day — all because of one convincing video from social media. West Australians are increasingly being duped by celebrity and crypto cons, resulting in millions of dollars being stolen. New research by WA ScamNet revealed that almost 50 WA residents have fallen victim to investment scams in 2025, resulting in $10.8 million being stolen. In 2024 alone, 76 WA victims reported handing over nearly $19.4 million to scammers and their schemes. One victim was reported to have lost an astonishing $10 million after being lured in by a 'deepfake' online celebrity endorsement video. Deepfakes are lifelike impersonations of real people, oftentimes celebrities, created by artificial intelligence. Australian Competition and Consumer Commission deputy chair Catriona Lowe said that the WA victim was just one of many Aussies falling for the scams. 'We know of an Australian man who lost $80,000 after seeing a deepfake Elon Musk video interview on social media, clicking the link and registering his details through an online form,' Ms Lowe said. Celebrity deepfake scams have exploded globally with the rise of AI, with one highly notable incident in January resulting in a French woman revealing that she had lost $1.3 million to 'actor Brad Pitt' — except it wasn't him, it was a scammer using deepfake images. Consumer Protection commissioner Trish Blake said that scammers were getting better at using celebrity images to dupe vulnerable individuals. 'The use of celebrity images, increasingly in deepfake videos, to endorse investment schemes is a deliberate tactic by scammers to fabricate legitimacy and entice victims with promises of rapid wealth,' she said. 'Being told to deposit more money to access your funds, citing taxes or other fees is a major red flag of an investment scam, so too are pressure tactics like being told your account will be frozen if you don't invest more.' Another investment scam causing distress in 2024 and 2025 were fake cryptocurrency trading, with victims believing they were investing in 'low-risk, high-return' schemes. WA ScamNet observed a rise in scammers infiltrating legitimate platforms to sell fraudulent cryptocurrency coins or 'mystery coins' that drain wallets of legitimate currency. 'Crypto scammers thrive on market complexity, using confusion and fake 'insider knowledge' to trick you,' Ms Blake said. 'They call their victims regularly, offering to set up their trading profiles to gain access to devices, while manipulating them into handing over their superannuation to invest.' Consumer Protections WA urges Aussies interested in cryptocurrency to conduct thorough research, read websites critically and be suspicious of promises that sound too good to be true. Ms Blake warned that people who have fallen victim to scams previously were at higher risk of scammers returning for a second attempt. 'After falling victim to an investment scam, many are again approached by so-called 'recovery experts', claiming they can retrieve lost funds,' she said. 'These follow-up scams prey on hope and desperation and can lead to even greater losses.' Further information about scams and where to report them can be found on the WA ScamNet website .
