Every so often, McDonald’s Singapore manages to create a wave of excitement that extends far beyond its classic menu. This time, they have teamed up with one of the most recognisable names in global pop culture—BTS. From 25 September to 15 October 2025, McDonald’s is offering something that is set to thrill fans of the Korean supergroup: TinyTAN Happy Meal toys, now available in surprise blind boxes.
For those who may not be familiar, TinyTAN are animated characters inspired by BTS members RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook. Each character reflects the individual style and personality of the members, but in a cute, stylised, chibi-like form. These characters have already enjoyed immense popularity worldwide through merchandise, digital appearances, and collaborations. Now, for the first time in Singapore, McDonald’s has made them the star of their Happy Meal toy lineup.
Why This Promotion Stands Out
There have been many memorable Happy Meal promotions over the years—from Pokémon to Disney collaborations—but the TinyTAN blind boxes are shaping up to be one of the most sought-after releases. What makes this launch so special is the element of surprise. Instead of choosing a specific figure, customers will receive a blind box, meaning the character inside is a mystery until it’s opened. This randomness adds an extra layer of excitement, as collectors may find themselves trading with friends or returning for multiple Happy Meals in hopes of completing the full set of seven figures.
This approach also aligns with the global trend of blind box collectibles, which has become incredibly popular in recent years. From toys to figurines, enthusiasts enjoy the thrill of not knowing what they’re getting and the satisfaction of building a full collection over time. For BTS fans, the chance to collect all seven members in miniature form will likely be too tempting to resist.
The TinyTAN Line-Up
So, what exactly can collectors look forward to? The set includes:
-
RM
-
Jin
-
SUGA
-
j-hope
-
Jimin
-
V
-
Jung Kook
Each figure showcases the signature look and character traits that BTS fans adore, complete with expressive poses and details that highlight their personalities. Whether it’s RM’s cool charisma, Jin’s worldwide-handsome charm, or Jimin’s playful energy, the toys encapsulate the essence of each artist in a compact form.
For younger Happy Meal fans who may not yet be familiar with BTS, these figurines are simply fun, colourful companions that make meal time more enjoyable. But for ARMYs—the dedicated BTS fandom—these toys carry sentimental value and represent an opportunity to bring a piece of their idols home.
Availability and What to Expect
The TinyTAN toys will be available at participating McDonald’s outlets islandwide, starting from 11am on 25 September. Customers purchasing a Happy Meal can choose between a book or a toy, but given the hype surrounding this collaboration, it’s safe to assume that most will be opting for the toy.
It’s important to note that the toys are offered only while stocks last. Once they’re gone, they’re gone. This limited availability is part of the appeal, but it also means fans who delay their visit might miss out. Collectors who want to complete the full set of seven will likely need to plan multiple visits within the promotion period—or coordinate with friends and family to exchange duplicates.
Why You Shouldn’t Miss Out
There are several reasons why this is more than just another Happy Meal promotion.
-
Cultural Relevance: BTS isn’t just a music group; they are a global phenomenon whose influence spans fashion, art, social causes, and beyond. Owning TinyTAN collectibles connects fans to this cultural wave in an affordable and accessible way.
-
Exclusivity: The toys are only available for a limited time and only through Happy Meals. Unlike merchandise sold in shops, this makes them rare collectibles that may not return in the same form.
-
Family Fun: While adults may be lining up for the toys, this promotion still caters to children. The blind box experience makes mealtime more engaging for younger diners, and it encourages family bonding as they share the surprise of unboxing together.
-
Collector’s Appeal: Collecting all seven is a challenge, but it’s precisely that challenge which makes it enjoyable. Many will likely treat this as a mini treasure hunt, with every Happy Meal adding to the anticipation.
-
Memorability: For those who have followed BTS’s journey from their early days to international superstardom, these figurines offer a nostalgic keepsake. They represent not just the band but also the joy of being part of the fandom during such a unique collaboration.
Strategies to Enjoy the Promotion
Given the limited period and high demand, here are a few practical tips:
-
Visit Early: Since the toys are available from 11am daily, visiting during the first few days or at off-peak hours increases your chances of securing one.
-
Team Up: If you’re collecting, consider teaming up with friends or fellow fans. This way, you can trade duplicates and work towards completing the set more efficiently.
-
Check Multiple Outlets: Stock availability may vary between outlets, so if one branch runs out, another nearby might still have some left.
-
Keep Expectations Flexible: Part of the fun is the surprise, so embrace the randomness. Even if you don’t get your favourite member right away, the journey of collecting is where the excitement lies.
Final Thoughts
McDonald’s Singapore has successfully tapped into a cultural moment by introducing TinyTAN Happy Meal toys in blind boxes. For just the price of a Happy Meal, fans can own a miniature piece of BTS history, while children enjoy the playful side of mealtime.
This is more than a promotion—it’s an event that bridges food, fandom, and fun. With only a three-week window to grab these collectibles, it’s worth marking the dates and making a plan. Whether you’re a die-hard BTS fan, a parent looking for a treat for your kids, or simply someone who enjoys collecting limited-edition items, this is a promotion not to be missed.
So, make sure to swing by McDonald’s between 25 September and 15 October 2025. The excitement of unboxing a TinyTAN figurine is waiting, and who knows—you might just pull your favourite member on the very first try.
