BTS x McDonald's Collab Is Back with a TinyTAN Happy Meal

BTS x McDonald’s is back, ARMY! Explore the TinyTAN Happy Meal, toy release dates, and details on a special LA event—don’t miss it.

Do you remember where you were in 2021 when McDonald's went all-in on purple? I definitely do. The hunt for those special Sweet Chili and Cajun sauces was real, and the whole world seemed to stop for the first-ever BTS Meal. It wasn't just a meal; it was a cultural moment.

Get Ready, ARMY! The BTS x McDonald's Collab Is Back with a TinyTAN Happy Meal

Well, get ready to relive the magic, because it’s officially happening again.

McDonald’s just dropped the news that fans have been waiting for: a brand new collaboration with global superstars BTS is on its way. And this time, they’re taking over the most iconic part of the McDonald’s experience. And guess what? This limited edition BTS x McDonald's TinyTAN Happy Meal is coming to Malaysia as well! 🤩

The Wait Is Over ARMY: Say Hello to the TinyTAN Happy Meal

That's right. The global icons are teaming up with the Golden Arches once more, and this time, it’s all about those classic red boxes. Prepare yourselves for the TinyTAN x McDonald’s Happy Meal!

After teasing fans with an aerial shot of a Happy Meal box surrounded by seven mysterious minifigures, McDonald’s has finally unveiled the full details. And yes, those adorable figures are exactly what we hoped they’d be: the BTS members in their cute-as-can-be TinyTAN forms.

The Collectibles You (ARMY) Won't Want to Miss

Here’s the thing—it’s not just one set of toys. They’re giving us two waves of collectibles, so you have double the reason to grab a Happy Meal. For anyone new here, TinyTAN are the absolutely adorable animated alter-egos of the BTS members, and now you can collect them all.

Here’s the breakdown:

• The Throwback Edition (Releasing 3rd September 2025): This first set is pure nostalgia. It features all seven members rocking the iconic outfits from the 2021 BTS Meal promotion. It’s the perfect way to honor the collab that started it all.
• The Encore Edition (Releasing 23rd September 2025): Hot on the heels of the first wave, the Encore Edition will drop to celebrate their second McDonald’s partnership. It’s a whole new set to complete your collection!

But Wait, There's More: A "Magic Meetup" for Fans in LA

If getting your hands on the toys wasn't exciting enough, McDonald’s is rolling out the purple carpet for a special event in Los Angeles.

Billed as a "Magic Meetup," it promises to be an "immersive, multisensory experience, filled with music and Happy Meal magic." It sounds like an incredible opportunity for ARMY to get together and celebrate.

The event is set for September 27 and September 28 at nya West in Los Angeles. Keep your eyes peeled for more details on how to attend!

A Throwback to the Meal That Broke the Internet

It’s hard to overstate just how huge the first BTS Meal was, right? Yes! I witnessed it with my own eyes! It was a masterclass in global marketing. The signature order—10-piece Chicken McNuggets, fries, a Coke, and those legendary South Korean-inspired sauces—sent fans into a frenzy.

The aftermath was wild:

• Meal packaging was being resold on eBay as collector’s items.
• Someone sold a chicken nugget that vaguely resembled an Among Us crewmate for almost US$100,000. Yes, you read that right.
• McDonald's global sales surged by a staggering 40%.

That collaboration set a ridiculously high bar, and it looks like McDonald’s and BTS are more than ready to meet it.
