The dedicated fanbase of K-pop sensation BTS, Army, is all too familiar with this routine: arriving at the merch booth hours before the stadium gates open and waiting in line all day, in all types of weather, just for the hopes of snagging a city or member-specific jersey for the band’s Arirang world tour. Am I speaking from experience? Well, yes. Will I do it again and again? Duh.<\/p>\n
If you missed out on the tour merch of your dreams, there is another collectible opportunity incoming, and it doesn’t involve a merch booth: McDonald’s is bringing a limited-time lineup of BT21 characters to Happy Meals.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Starting July 14 at participating McDonald’s restaurants, you can find and collect 10 unique, space-themed BT21 toys. There is a toy for each of the seven members of the group, along with three others: Van (a character representing Army), a toy with all of the characters on a spaceship and a poster with stickers. The characters are designed with a ring clip to be attached to bags or clothing.<\/p>\n
