Happy Meal toys right now in the UK: Build-A-Bear
The Happy Meal page on McDonald's UK is titled “Build-A-Bear Happy Meal Toys” and opens with “Build-A-Bear has taken over the Happy Meal® box!”. It goes on: “From Pawlette to Friendly Fox - what Build-A-Bear will your little one discover?” A third toy, Tan Teddy Bear, is named in the games on the same page. The end date is in the service messages at the foot of the page: “Until 02nd November… Range items available at different times, whilst stocks last.” The start date and the size of the collection are in McDonald's UK's press release of 23 September 2026: “From Tuesday, 22nd September, every Happy Meal® will include one of the 12 exclusive Build-A-Bear Workshop® mini plush bag clips” — four of the twelve, it adds, are Halloween inspired.
McDonald's Italy has Build-A-Bear in its Happy Meal this month as well and lists twelve toys by name; Pawlette, Friendly Fox and Tan Teddy Bear are all among them. McDonald's UK does not publish the names of its twelve; the Italian site CorriereNerd reports that the two countries have the same twelve. Happy Meal line-ups can differ between countries — the SpongeBob x One Piece set has 10 toys in Germany and had 12 in Spain.

Halloween Happy Meal 2026 in the UK
In the UK, Halloween comes inside Build-A-Bear: four of the twelve bag clips are Halloween inspired, according to the McDonald's UK press release of 23 September 2026, and the range runs until 2 November. McDonald's Italy sells the same twelve under the line “Halloween è pieno di sorprese con Build-A-Bear”, with Pumpkin Bear, Bat and Zombie Axolotl among them. The Halloween pails are a US promotion this year: from 20 October 2026, McDonald's US serves the Happy Meal in five Disney Villains Boo Buckets and has announced them for the United States only. The five designs and the UK picture are in Boo Buckets 2026; the checklist is Happy Meal Disney Villains Boo Buckets. What else US Happy Meals have had in 2026, and what comes next there, is on Happy Meal toys right now in the USA.

One Piece Happy Meal: where it is confirmed
The SpongeBob x One Piece toys — Bikini Bottom characters dressed as One Piece pirates — are on McDonald's own pages in Germany (10 figures), Spain (12 toys, 1 September to 13 October 2026), Croatia (15 toys, news item dated 4 September 2026) and the United States (15 toys, from 15 September 2026). In Ukraine the collection ran from 20 August to 23 September 2026 with 12 figures, according to the Ukrainian outlet Kreschatic (22 August 2026), which cites McDonald's.
ColleX keeps the collection in one list, Happy Meal SpongeBob x One Piece: twelve toys in the main collection and, listed separately, the three known from the 15-toy US line-up, each with the countries where it is confirmed. They are not the Kinder Joy One Piece figures — those are Funko minis with VS codes from a Kinder egg, with their own checklist with codes. For what is in Kinder eggs this year, see all Kinder collections of 2026.
Next Happy Meal toy in the UK
McDonald's UK shows the current toys only: Build-A-Bear, dated until 2 November 2026. When its Happy Meal page changes, the new toys — and the dates, if the page gives them — go into the table above.
Pokémon cards have no official UK date as of 19 October 2026, and no official date anywhere else: neither McDonald's nor The Pokémon Company has announced the promotion. Past UK start dates, with the unofficial dates kept apart as rumours, are in Pokémon Happy Meal 2026 UK.
Tracking Happy Meal toys on ColleX
In the SpongeBob x One Piece list, mark each toy you own as Have and each one you are missing as Want. The list then shows at a glance who is still missing from the crew. The twelve Build-A-Bear bag clips have a list of their own, Happy Meal Build-A-Bear (dates and all twelve by name are in our Build-A-Bear news), and so do the ten BT21 toys: Happy Meal BT21.
