I was one of the lucky ones to get the complete set.
I guerss I'll be back ordering a bunch of happy meals again. We especially will be keeping an eye out for Jiminy Cricket. I'll try getting the entire collection of 50... but there are a few in there I'm more desiring to get.

Here's the full set which is basically the entire Gold Statues and No Figment or Orange Bird as they were replaced..IMO The smarter idea would have done this as a Blind Bag set...Making it much more frustrating for the Vloggers and TikTokkers to get their grubby hands on them...

Just a friendly reminder for those wishing to try to 'collect em' all' during the promotion -

At most McDonald's locations, you do NOT have to actually buy a Happy Meal or any fast food to score one of the toy figures.
You can directly purchase the toys for about $2.50 to $3 each in person at the counter.

At many locations, if you ask nicely, whoever is serving you will show you what the current figures they have availible that day are.
Typically, two to three choices are availible.
Just ask.

;)

Are you sure these aren't going to be blind bagged?
Makes more sense to do so to increase McD's sales with customers trying to find certain ones.

Just go on eBay in a few months and you'll be able to buy all 50 as a set for a cheaper price than all those Happy Meals...

Wasn't McD's a big sponsor for the original Animal Kingdom before it departed and AK got scaled down?
Remember the McD's Freedom Fry stand near Pecos Bill's? Interesting, unusual and limited time business partnership!

Yes they were. I have a placemat thing that they put on the trays at McDonald's that has a map of the Animal Kingdom on it as part of the opening promotion. I used it to "study" the park before I went so I would know where to go. I think there were Happy Meal toys as well, but I don't have any of those.

Yes they did have an AK toy set..The one that made it illusive was the Beastly Kingdom's section toy a Big purple Dragon as the land never became to be..I have found 2 bagged versions at a flea market a few years ago..
