The Throwback Edition, available fro m Sept 3, f eatures each TinyTan figure dressed in outfits from the group's previous McDonald's collaboration in 2021, when the popular BTS Meal launched worldwide, comprising Chicken McNuggets, fries, a drink, and limited-edition Sweet Chilli and Cajun sauces.
A second wave of toys, known as the Encore Edition, will roll out from Sept 23. These figurines will sport fresh outfits paying tribute to the group's 'second legendary collab' with the Golden Arches.
Interactive features such as the TinyTan Power Up game will be available on HappyMeal.com, accessible via a QR code on each Happy Meal box.
McDonald's called the launch a 'rhythmic collab' that brings together music, dance and the brand's signature World Famous Fries.
