McDonald’s Halloween-themed Happy Meal now has a collectible competitor.
On Sept. 10, popular snack-spotting Instagram account Markie Devo posted leaked information about collectible Scooby-Doo toys coming to Burger King this fall.
The toys are inspired by Scooby Doo’s Halloween specials and taps into the nostalgia of catching the villain (thanks to those meddling kids.)
A Burger King representative confirmed to TODAY.com that its King Jr. Meals will “feature a fun lineup of collectible toys inspired by Scooby-Doo and the Mystery Gang,” available at its restaurants nationwide starting Sept. 16.
Burger King x Scooby-Doo Halloween Toys
The limited-edition Burger King x Scooby-Doo Halloween lineup features six toys: Scooby and the gang as well as the villain from “The Headless Horseman of Halloween.” All come with a removable mask.
The Burger King x Scooby-Doo Halloween toys include:
- Scooby-Doo with a mummy mask
- Shaggy with a skull mask
- Velma with a witch mask
- Daphne with a cat mask
- Fred with a Frankenstein mask
- Elwood Crane, aka the Headless Horseman, with a ghost mask
The collectible cartoon toys are available nationwide with the purchase of a King Jr. Meal, but just like Naruto’s collaboration with the chain in July, that’s only while supplies last.
Burger King Is Bringing Back Its Halloween Buckets
In addition to these Scoobalicious offerings, Burger King is also bringing back its Halloween Buckets after a one-year hiatus.
Customers can grab the limited-edition candy receptacles, which are inspired by the burger chain’s menu items, for $2 at participating U.S. restaurants starting Oct. 13, while supplies last.
The royal burger chain has leaned into spooky season before, in 2023, when it debuted a limited-time Halloween bucket in select cities, edging in on the Golden Arches’ trick-or-treating turf.
Burger King said at the time that the glow-in-the-dark Halloween keepsake was inspired by its ghost pepper menu. Resembling McDonald’s Boo Buckets, the chili-themed buckets were offered in a few select cities.
Then in 2024, as McDonald’s ghostly buckets returned as usual, Burger King instead dropped food items inspired by “The Addams Family,” including a purple “Wednesdays Whopper” and “Thing’s Rings.”
