1. Tarzan 1999 McDonald’s Happy Meal Complete Set – $450
The most valuable McDonald’s toys of all time are part of the Tarzan 1999 McDonalds Happy Meal Complete Set.

If you have the complete set in great condition, then you could be looking at a price tag of around $450!
That’s crazy considering the price of a Happy Meal back in the late ’90s was just a couple of dollars!

One Piece characters have since spread from the WonderSwan, but I never guessed that they would end up in McDonald’s stores.
Though, I guess the most valuable McDonald’s Pokémon cards should have told me otherwise!
All the gang are here so grab your favourite fighter or collect the whole team!
6. Astrosniks Happy Meal Toys – $149
There’s something about these Astrosniks Happy Meal Toys that makes me smile every single time.
Looking a little like a cross between the Clangers and the crocodiles from the Nutella jars, these characters are so unique and interesting.
And, more importantly, they all have their own funny little personalities.
7. 1982 McDonald’s Dukes Of Hazzard General Lee – $175
One of the most iconic cars of all time also made it’s way into the McDonald’s toy form in the early 80s. This 1982 McDonald’s Dukes of Hazzard General Lee was a huge win for the company and still fetches a pretty penny today.
Seriously, imagine pulling this out of your Happy Meal box! And then imagine selling it on again for $175 in 2024!
This would make a great piece for your desk or workspace, a reminder of one of the greatest TV shows of all time as well as being one of the best cars in the business!
