Soul Happy Meal Toys at McDonalds in 2020-2021

The promotion for Soul happy meal toys straddled 2020 and 2021 having been issued just prior to Christmas 2020. McDonalds in association with Pixar released six plush toys inspired by the characters from the Disney Pixar Soul movie that began streaming on Disney Plus on December 25, 2020.

Soul Happy Meal Toys Details

There is no particular gimmick with the Soul happy meal toys that were available at participating McDonalds restaurants between 15 December and January 11 2021, instead their fun factor is based on cuteness, sparkles and reversibility. Most are made from a soft plush microfiber material that sparkles on one side if not both.

Each toy in the set comes with a tush tag bearing the name of the character. Some of the toys are reversible showing different versions of the character (living form vs soul form) when turned over. Some like Newb, 22 and Terry have a belt clip (colors varied) allowing them to be attached to backpacks, prams, belts and so on.

The toys were released in the following order:

1. Newb
   Purple, pink or green clip.


2. Mr Mittens
   Double sided. Brown on one side and colored on the other.


3. 22
   Sparkly plush, orange or purple clip, rainbow colors on the back.


4. Joe Gardner
   Double sided. Brown, wearing dark glasses on the front versus blue on back and wearing white glasses.
   
   Note this is the same toy that was included in the 2020 McDonalds Disney and Pixar 25 Years Celebration set.


5. Terry
   Blue clip, sparkles on the front versus blue, pinky purple on the back


6. Moonwind Stardancer
   Moustache. Brown on front and blue sparkles on back.

The Disney Pixar Soul McDonalds happy meal box is black and purple and features notable characters from the movie and their respective dreams: "Joe's dream is to become a jazz musician" and "22 is searching to find her dream". On the side panel is a personal dream card punchout on which to write down a dream and attach it to a backpack.

McDonalds Soul Coloring Page and Activity Sheets

Along with this promotion are two activity sheets free to download in PDF from the McDonalds website. The first is a Soul themed coloring page featuring Joe Gardner playing the piano while the second is a puzzle page with hidden words featuring 22. There is also a place to record your dream to help 22 find hers.

McDonalds Soul Toys International Promotion

Among the other regions apart from the US to receive the six Soul toys were Mexico and Latin America. These were available in happy meals (mclanche feliz) in Brazil (Uma aventura dos sonhos) and in Spanish speaking countries like Argentina and Peru in cajita feliz in January 2021. The slogan on the advertising banner in Argentina is "Vivi tus sueños" or live your dreams.

Soul McDonald's toys follows the Marvel Studios Heroes and the Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway promotions. During the giveaway period one toy came in each happy meal or could be purchased separately at a cost of $1.60 per toy. If you want to add these to your Soul Happy Meal toys to your happy meal toy collection and you missed the in-store promotion these can still be purchased on eBay relatively cheaply.
