For those wondering, here are the six toys that you should be looking forward to with the new Squishmallow Happy Meals:

  • Dog Bat: A brown, smiling dog with bat wings
  • Vampire Bat: A white and black bat with a small smile and a red bowtie
  • Cat Skeleton: A spooky, black cat skeleton with a bluish body.
  • Black Cat: A chonky, black cat with purple tummy and white whiskers.
  • Werewolf: A brownish werewolf with cool and dashing hair on his head.
  • Spider: A round, black spider with a red stomach.

    • Though the six exclusive toys will be available with Happy Meals starting this Wednesday, there are also speculations about new Halloween-themed Squishmallow toys joining the collection in the coming weeks. More details are expected to be revealed with an official announcement soon.

    Fans looking forward to getting all the McDonald’s Squishmallow toys from the collection may have to get several Happy Meals throughout the offer period to complete their collection. Those wishing to skip the struggle are advised to ask their local stores if they are willing to sell the toys without the meal.

    While it may not be applicable throughout the country, select stores are often willing to sell the Happy Meal Toys directly to customers if they just ask them nicely.
