partnership between McDonald's and Hot Wheels was a match made in heaven as both Brands were beloved
by children worldwide the Hot Wheels Happy Meal toys featured 14 different cars each with their
own unique design and color there was excitement and anticipation to see which car you would get
as kids collected and traded with their friends the cars were Mainline Hot Wheels models but in
1991 one McDonald's would start Distributing their own card designs I can do it myself the success of
the original Hot Wheels Happy Meal series sparked a trend leading McDonald's to release dozens of
series since the most recent series was released in 2019 and included a special car commemorating

Buddies these Happy Meal toys were shaped like McDonald's iconic chicken McNuggets and came in a
variety of cute costumes making them even more fun to collect the McNugget Buddies each came in
different costumes adding to their collectibility and if you were lucky enough to collect the whole

into a collectible toy was a stroke of Genius and it really resonated with kids I love it it

making them feel like real characters and with their tiny size and expressive faces they were
