2017 Teenie Beanie Happy Meal boxes
Each toy comes packaged with a cardstock disc with a photo of that character on the front and instructions for the app on the back, as well as a checklist for all 15 Teenie Beanies. The Happy Meal boxes are also specially printed, as we’ve already seen in the Teenie Beanie promotions that have been happening abroad.
Size comparison from 2014 to 2017
With just two days until the 2017 Teenie Beanie Boo Happy Meal promotion hits McDonald’s restaurants in the US, some eBay listings for the new Ty Teenie Boos are beginning to show what appears to be the Happy Meal display case design for the upcoming promotion.
As with most Happy Meal toy promotions, these setups are usually constructed of cardboard with the toys strategically hung, and are placed inside an acrylic display case inside McDonald’s stores.
The theme that seems to be emerging for this year’s Ty Teenie Beanie Boo promotion is “Become a Boo Zoo Keeper,” as printed on this display above.
2004 Teenie Beanie display
Fun fact: If you befriend your local McDonald’s manager, they might let you take or buy the display and other promotional posters once this year’s Teenie Beanie Boo promotion is over! In 2004, I was able to get my hands on all of my local McDonald’s promotional pieces for free, and used them to display my Teenie Beanies.

In-hand video of all 15 Teenie Beanie Boos
Previous in-hand videos from other countries where the Teenie Beanie promotion has already started only show 10 of the Teenies in-hand. It seems, at this time, that the USA is the only country that will have all 15 Teenies.
I was browsing Instagram earlier today, and many collectors have been adding in-hand photos of their Teenie Beanie Boo finds. Take look: click here to view them on iconosquare.com.
Doing this, I stumbled upon user @beanieboonews, who has been sharing many of my updates from this blog. I couldn’t believe I hadn’t seen them until just now. So a big thank-you to @beanieboonews for the shout-outs!
The sleuths at TyCollector.com have managed to scoop up all 16 Teenie Beanie Boos. They’ve posted photos of each Teenie Boo on their website: click here to take a look.
Additionally, they have also begun documenting the various in-store signage. Click here to see it.
As for me, I’m still sitting at only 6 of the 16 Teenie Boos. The hunt continues!

I was pleasantly surprised to find that, in addition to the checklist, some of the Teenie Beanie Boos are coming with a coupon inside they toy bags. The coupon for $1 off any purchase of $4.99 ore more is two-sided: one side has a promo code to order online from the Ty Store, while the reverse has a bar code for purchases at Ty retailers. Both coupons are good for any Ty product through September 30, 2014.

Keep a lookout; there may be more than a toy inside your Happy Meal!
For those interested, below are photos of the Happy Meal box for the Teenie Beanie/Mario Kart toy giveaways. However, it has been my experience so far that McDonald’s stores will allow customers to purchase toys without a Happy Meal.
More details of the Teenie Beanie Boos have been coming in since early this morning. (Before 1:30 AM I had already received one email from a reader who had already picked up the whole set!)
Now TyCollector.com has shared the first in-hand photos of the Teenie Boos’ hang tags (front and back), the plastic bag the toys come in, and the 3×3 inch checklist card that comes with each Boo. Click here to see them!
Today is the day! Good luck on your hunt. And don’t forget to send in photos of your success. Click here to submit a photo!
A recent eBay auction is offering what appears to be the Happy Meal display piece for the upcoming Wii Mario Kart 8 / Ty Teenie Beanie Boo toy promotion. The photos give us our first close-up, in-hand views of the 8 Teenie Beanie Boos that have appeared in promotional graphics.
The photos confirm what we’ve already learned and reveal quite a bit more:
Hang tags: It appears that the hang tags will be similar to those of past Teenie Beanie Baby Happy Meal promotions. A heavy card stock, cut into the shape of the iconic Ty heart, is attached to the toy with red thread. A golden-color ink — instead of actual gold foil — outlines the red heart, as usual, and the “Teenie Beanie Boos” logo replaces the yellow star of past Teenie Beanie tags.
Color versions: The Teenies in the display are the same color versions that we’ve seen in the promotion graphics, but the front of the display states “Each Ty Teenie Beanie Boo’s toy comes in 2 different colors!” Keep reading for more information about what those additional colors will be.
The auction also offers front (seen above) and back (see at auction page) photos of the informational card that McDonald’s restaurants received. These photos confirm and reveal even more information:
Promotion dates: The card reads, “A 28-day Happy Meal featuring 8 Teenie Beanie Boos and 8 Marion Cart toys.” It also confirms the offer begins Friday, July 4, and ends Thursday, July 31.
Color versions: At least! We now know which colors each toy will come in. In the list below, the italicized word indicates the color version that we have not seen in promotional graphics:
Surf the dolphin: pink and purple
Peanut the elephant: pink and orange
Magic the unicorn: pink and blue
Ollie the octopus: orange and purple
Spells the owl: pink and blue
Glamour the leopard: pink and blue
Coconut the monkey: pink and green
Myrtle the turtle: pink and purple
McPlay app: The card states the the McPlay Power magic continues with these toys: “Kids can scan their Teenie Beanie Boos… toy [with a smart phone] and unlock a game or activity to play.”
Customer satisfaction cases: Though McDonald’s restaurants generally do not receive the entire set of toys in one shipment, they do receive a “customer satisfaction case,” which contains a handful of every toy they will eventually have for the promotion. The card says, “All cases feature 10 each of 8 designs; total case pack of 80.” This means that if you get to a McDonald’s early enough, you may be able to request all 16 toys at once to complete your collection.
