McDonald's Happy Meal POG 2019 - Supergirl 1 Spinning Top Collectible
Welcome back to the Happy Meal collector lane - grab a fry and let's dig in!
If you've been tracking the McDonald's POG 2019 wave, you already know this set delivered something a little different from the usual figure-based Happy Meal promo. Instead of fully sculpted characters, McDonald's leaned into the disc and spinning top format for this release - and the lineup is a wonderfully eclectic mix of DC Comics heroes, Looney Tunes legends, and original McDonald's characters. Today we're zooming in on one of the superhero standouts from that assortment: Supergirl 1, part of the McDonald's Happy Meal POG 2019 set.
What Is the POG 2019 Set?
The POG 2019 wave is a large-scale Happy Meal promotion built around disc-style collectibles and spinning tops. The set mixes Warner Bros. licensed properties with McDonald's original characters, creating one of the more varied assortments McDonald's has offered in recent memory. On the DC side alone, you'll find multiple Superman discs (including Superman in Daily Planet, Superman in Space, Superman in Metropolis, Superman Rescuing, Superman's Emblem 1, and Superman's Emblem 2), Wonder Woman entries (Wonder Woman 2, Wonder Woman 3, and Wonder Woman's Emblem), and two Flash discs (The Flash 1 and The Flash 2). Supergirl appears across multiple pieces in the set as well, with Supergirl 1, Supergirl 2, and Supergirl in Profile each offering a distinct design take on the character.
The Looney Tunes side of the wave is equally deep. Tweety fans can chase Tweety 1, Tweety 2, Tweety 3, Tweety Cool, Tweety Mimi, and Tweety on Ice. Sylvester shows up as Sylvester Dreamer and Sylvester at the Dentist. Taz rolls in three versions - Taz Happy, Taz Grumpy, and Taz Basketball - plus pairings with Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and Tweety. And Wile E. Coyote lands two discs of his own. Rounding out the set are McDonald's originals like Vera 1, Vera 2, Yeti, Tickles, Team 1, Team 2, Team 3, Team in Desert, Team Investigation, Victory, and Surprise.
Supergirl 1 - The Disc Up Close
Supergirl 1 is the primary Supergirl entry in the wave - her most forward-facing, action-ready pose. The disc format keeps the toy flat and lightweight, making it easy for small hands to hold and spin. The print quality on McDonald's POG discs tends to be vivid and eye-catching, leaning into the bold primary color palette that Supergirl's iconic blue and red costume demands. The top format gives it a kinetic appeal that plain disc pieces sometimes miss - you can watch the image blur and reform as it spins, which has a surprisingly satisfying quality for a promo toy.
Size-wise, these POG tops are consistent across the set - compact enough to store in a small drawer, flat bin, or protective sleeve without taking up much real estate. Durability is solid for what they are; the plastic shell holds up well to repeated spinning, though the printed surface is susceptible to scratching over time if stored loose with other pieces. Keeping them in individual bags or a flat organizer goes a long way toward preserving print quality for the long term.
There's something quietly satisfying about the POG format making a comeback through a fast-food promo. These discs have a nostalgic weight to them - even when the format is wrapped around a modern DC superhero - and Supergirl 1 captures exactly why the format translates so well to a collector wave: small footprint, big visual impact, and genuinely fun to spin.
Collector Notes
The POG 2019 set is one of the larger Happy Meal promos McDonald's has released in this format, and that scale is both a strength and a challenge for collectors. The sheer number of pieces in the wave - spanning DC heroes, Looney Tunes, and McDonald's originals - means completing the set requires real effort. Supergirl alone splits across three distinct discs, so tracking all three (Supergirl 1, Supergirl 2, and Supergirl in Profile) is its own mini-mission within the larger set. For DC fans, the superhero grouping is particularly appealing when displayed together.
Play value is high for younger kids - spinning tops are endlessly entertaining without requiring batteries or moving parts. Display value is modest individually, but when grouped by franchise or arranged as a full DC wave alongside the Superman and Wonder Woman and Flash pieces, the visual impact improves considerably. These discs work nicely in flat shadow boxes or small acrylic display stands that keep them upright and visible.
For shelf appeal over time, the Supergirl discs hold up better than some of the more generic POG entries because of character recognition. Supergirl is a beloved and enduring DC hero, which gives pieces like this a stronger nostalgia pull as the years go on. Storage in individual poly bags is a smart move to protect the printed surface from wear and scratching.
I grabbed this one on a lunch run when the promo was still running - it was a pleasant surprise finding Supergirl 1 rather than the third Superman variant I seemed to pull every other visit. I've got her marked in the Collectiblz app alongside the rest of the POG 2019 DC pieces; if you're building out this wave, the app makes it easy to track which discs you have and which you're still hunting.
