Toys It's the Return of the 'Mac? Rumors of McDonalds bringing back Changeables for 2026

Supposedly leaked pictures from internal McDonalds communications revealed that they are bringing back Changeables in Happy Meals at the end of this month! For any too young to remember, these are small transforming figures that change from McDonalds food items into robots (in the original releases) or dinosaurs (from the later series). Both types are represented in the new figures. which also bring in items that are not strictly foods, such as an ordering kiosk, deep fryer. etc.

See the image below for the full reveal!

Oh man, I need these if they're real.

 

[wonko the sane?]

Some of them are actual robots but some of them are some kind of lizard wearing a robot suit?

I mean: they're kinda neat but not enough to drive me to go into a mcdonalds, never mind eat their food.

The original 80's Changeables were all your more standard robots, but in the 90's they did a line that transformed into dinosaurs. This is a mix of both types.

The Hotcakes pterodactyl was the best one.

I always had a soft spot for the McNugget plesiosaur, which I'm happy to see make it's triumphant return here.

Also a good one. My other favorite was the burger-stegosaurus because it transformed sideways.

ANYWAY I wonder if the Under-3 toy is part of the theme or not. (There was a single-piece, non-converting burger dino back in the day. Not sure about the robot ones.)

Was wondering that, too. At first, I mistook the milk bottle with a robot face for the Under-3 toy, but then realized it's just that they made sure the milk bottle was on-theme.

I like that a few of these actually look like remakes of some of the originals along with new ones of both types

The only way this can get better is if they nail the packaging. Let's see some silly artwork and really lame riddles.

As a fan if Cityformers/Titans, I of course loved the Happy Meal-O-Don.

I've been wanting to form a complete collection for years, but I'm not there yet.
