We’re talking about exclusive Minecraft Happy Meal toys hitting McDonald’s across Japan, and you won’t want to miss your chance to snag them! Let’s dig into the details and figure out how you can add these blocky buddies to your collection!
Awesome News for Gamers in Japan! Minecraft Happy Meal is Coming Soon!
Mark your calendars, fellow gamers! The Minecraft Happy Meal is set to launch at McDonald’s locations all over Japan starting on Friday, May 16, 2025. This special promotion will run for about three weeks, with new waves of toys being released each week.
- Wave 1: May 16, 2025 – May 22, 2025 (4 different toys)
- Wave 2: May 23, 2025 – May 29, 2025 (Another 4 unique toys)
- Wave 3: May 30, 2025 – June 5, 2025 (A random toy from Wave 1 or Wave 2)
Keep in mind that these are limited-edition, and they could sell out quickly! So, if you’ve got your eye on these pixelated prizes, it’s best to head to McDonald’s sooner rather than later. Sales start after the breakfast menu ends, so you can grab your Happy Meal (and your Minecraft toy!) from 10:30 AM onwards.
Which Minecraft Characters Will Join the Happy Meal Fun?
The big question on everyone’s mind is, of course, which Minecraft characters will be transformed into these adorable Happy Meal toys! While the official lineup hasn’t been fully revealed yet, we can make some educated guesses based on the game’s most popular figures.
Think about characters like the sneaky Creeper, the busy Bee, the spell-casting Evoker, the fluffy Pink Sheep, the loyal Wolf, the bony Skeleton, the iconic Steve, and even the woolly Llama! These are just a few of the beloved characters and mobs that could be making an appearance in toy form. 🤩
Just a heads-up – the toys are given out randomly, so part of the fun is the surprise of discovering which character you’ll get when you open your Happy Meal! 😉
Pro Tips for Collecting Your Minecraft Happy Meal Toys!
Since these are special, limited-edition items that are likely to be popular, having a little strategy can go a long way in helping you collect the ones you want!
- Go Early in the Promotion: Limited-edition items often sell out fast, especially popular collaborations like this one. Visiting McDonald’s during the first week gives you the best chance of getting the first wave of toys.
- Check with Your Local Store: It’s always a good idea to call your local McDonald’s to confirm when they start selling the Happy Meals each day and to ask about their stock levels, especially as the promotion goes on.
- Be Persistent: If you don’t get the character you’re hoping for on your first try, don’t give up! With new toys being released each week, you’ll have more chances to collect your favorites.
- Connect with Fellow Collectors: If you’re part of any online communities for expats in Japan, or Minecraft fans, you might find people who are willing to trade toys if you end up with duplicates.
- Enlist a Buddy: If there are multiple toys you really want, consider going with a friend and getting separate Happy Meals to increase your chances of getting different characters.
The Bigger Picture: Why This Minecraft Happy Meal is Happening
This exciting Minecraft Happy Meal collaboration is actually part of a larger global campaign to build hype for the upcoming movie, ‘A Minecraft Movie,’ which is scheduled for release in 2025. Getting these fun toys now is a great way to get even more excited about the movie!
Plus, for those of you who love all things cute, McDonald’s Japan will also be offering a ‘Chiikawa’ Happy Meal during the same period! So, you’ll have some adorable choices to make (or maybe collect both!). 😉
Final Thoughts for Minecraft Fans in Japan!
The arrival of the Minecraft Happy Meal at McDonald’s Japan in May 2025 is a fantastic opportunity for all you gamers and collectors out there. Make sure to plan your trips to McDonald’s wisely and get ready to add some blocky fun to your collection! If I manage to snag some of these myself, I’ll be sure to share my experience! Until then, happy mining! 👋
