“Adult Happy Meals” will return to McDonald’s soon, this time with a nostalgic ’80s toy.
The new Kerwin Frost Box is the fast-food chain’s latest spin on the childhood classic set to arrive at U.S. restaurants starting Dec. 11, McDonald’s announced in a Nov. 29 news release.
Teaming up with DJ and entertainer Kerwin Frost, the grown-up meal box comes with one of six reimagined McNugget Buddy collectibles — each inspired by the Harlem native’s childhood experiences.
The figurines debuted in 1988 and are “best known for their wacky adventures and personalities, wild imaginations and interchangeable outfits,” according to McDonald’s.
“I’ve loved McDonald’s since I was a kid … and it was my dream to collect all the McNugget Buddies,” Frost said in the release. “Now, coming up with my own special set of Buddies — each one representing different aspects of self-expression — it’s unreal, a dream come true.”
The Kerwin Frost Box comes with the choice of a Big Mac or 10-piece chicken McNuggets, fries, a drink and a McNugget Buddy collectible.
The boxed meal follows McDonald’s Cactus Plant Flea Market Box, launched last year in collaboration with the streetwear brand of the same name, McClatchy News reported.
The Kerwin Frost Box is available for a limited time, though McDonald’s didn’t say how long.
