(WWJ) — Lots of things about McDonald’s are iconic — the Golden Arches, the Big Mac, characters like the Hamburglar and Grimace, and of course, the collectibles.
Over the years kids have brought home Happy Meal toys, vintage posters, plates, cups, merch, trending cards and more. Now, for a limited time, customers can get new collectible cups honoring some of those most famous collectibles.
McDonald’s is introducing the global Collector’s Edition with new collectible cups that “inspire fans to relive those special moments and create nostalgic joy for a new generation.”
Starting Tuesday, Aug. 13, the Collector’s Edition cups, in embossed glass or tritan plastic, “put a fresh spin on classic McDonald’s keepsakes from the brand, Coca-Cola, Mattel, Universal, Sanrio or TY Beanie Babies.”
The fast food giant says “each cup spotlights iconic collectibles from different eras that our fans cherish,” like the Grimace Mug in 1976, Pet Lovin’ Barbie in 1999, Shrek from ‘Shrek the Third’ in 2007 and more.
“There’s an undeniable thrill when you snag that one elusive McDonald’s collectible or the final piece to complete your collection. We’re bringing back some of our most-loved keepsakes with a twist, giving fans a memory that they can hold in their hands,” said Morgan Flatley, Global Chief Marketing Officer, according to a press release. “These new collectible cups commemorate some of our most unforgettable designs and global collaborations over the years, allowing longtime fans to relive treasured moments and helping a new generation make their own lasting memories.”
The cups come with one of three Collector’s Meals — a Sausage McMuffin with Egg at breakfast time, or a Big Mac or 10-piece Chicken McNugget any other time of the day.
Customers can check the McDonald’s App and/or local participating McDonald’s restaurants to see how they can snag the Collector’s Edition cups available in your area.
