McDonald's Happy Meal POG 2019 - Wonder Woman 2
Hey there, fellow Kids' Meal hunters! 🍟
If you were paying attention at your local McDonald's in 2019, you might have spotted something a little different tucked inside the Happy Meal box - a set of POG-themed toys featuring everyone's favorite Amazonian warrior, Wonder Woman. Today I'm taking a deep look at Wonder Woman 2 from the McDonald's Happy Meal POG 2019 wave, one of those compact, collectible gems that tends to sneak past collectors who weren't specifically hunting for it at the time.
The POG 2019 set is a fun and slightly unexpected wave in McDonald's Happy Meal history. Rather than full action figures or articulated characters, these are POG-style collectible discs and small figural pieces tied to the Wonder Woman theme. The set rolled out in McDonald's locations in 2019, and it carries that very specific end-of-decade energy - bright, licensed, and clearly designed to appeal to a wide audience of kids who had grown up watching the character on screen.
Physical Details and Design
Wonder Woman 2 is a compact, single-piece promotional toy with the clean, graphic-forward design language that these POG-wave items tend to feature. The plastic has a good solid feel to it - not brittle or cheap - and the colors hold up well. Wonder Woman's iconic red, blue, and gold palette is represented cleanly, and the molded details are crisp enough to be recognizable on a shelf display without being overly busy.
At the small scale these toys typically sit at, the proportions are well controlled. The design team made smart choices about which details to include and which to simplify, and the result is a toy that reads clearly as Wonder Woman without trying to do too much for its size. Paint application is clean on the main features, with molded color doing the heavy lifting elsewhere - a common and sensible approach at this price point and scale.
There are no moving parts, which is typical of this style of promotional piece. The play value is primarily tactile and display-oriented rather than action-based. For the collector, that actually works in its favor - no hinges to break, no small accessories to lose, just a well-formed little object that holds its shape and character over time.
Wave Context: The POG 2019 Set
Wonder Woman 2 sits alongside several other toys from the same promotional run. Within the POG 2019 wave at McDonald's, related pieces include Wonder Woman 3, the Wonder Woman's Emblem, and the Yéti - a particularly fun inclusion that gives the set a little variety beyond the superhero theme. The numbering on pieces like Wonder Woman 2 and Wonder Woman 3 suggests multiple pose or design variants of the character were released, which is a classic move for Kids' Meal sets and gives collectors a natural reason to track down the full assortment.
The Yéti piece is the wild card of the wave - it adds personality and a bit of surprise to a set that might otherwise feel single-note. For collectors who appreciate variety in a wave, that kind of inclusion makes the POG 2019 set more interesting as a complete display. Wonder Woman 2 is one of the core pieces, and its numbered designation puts it squarely in the middle of the character variants, making it a necessary part of any complete set.
The numbered Wonder Woman variants in this set are a classic example of McDonald's getting maximum mileage out of a license - different poses, different looks, all under the same roof. It's the kind of wave that rewards collectors who go back for every piece rather than settling for just one.
Collector Notes
From a display standpoint, the POG 2019 toys are best appreciated grouped together as a complete wave. Wonder Woman 2 alone is charming, but placed alongside Wonder Woman 3, the Emblem piece, and the Yéti, the full set reads as a cohesive little collection rather than a single stray promo item. They group well in a small shadow box, on a dedicated Kids' Meal shelf, or alongside other 2019 McDonald's releases.
Durability is solid. These are molded plastic pieces with no fragile points, and barring paint wear from heavy play, they hold up well over time. The absence of articulation actually makes them more durable than figure-based Happy Meal toys, and they're easy to clean and store without worrying about parts going missing.
For adult collectors, the appeal here is partly nostalgia - the POG format taps into a very specific late-90s and early-2000s collector culture - and partly the crossover with DC's Wonder Woman property. That combination of toy history and licensed character makes the POG 2019 wave more interesting than a standard figure release of the same period. Kids respond well to the bright colors and recognizable character, making this a dual-audience toy that works for both the Happy Meal crowd and the shelf-display collector.
The Yéti variant in the set is worth seeking out specifically - it's the kind of offbeat inclusion that tends to become a sleeper favorite among completists. But Wonder Woman 2 is essential for set completion, and its clean design makes it a keeper on its own merits.
Display and Storage Ideas
For display, small acrylic risers or tiered shelving let each piece breathe without crowding. Grouping the full POG 2019 wave together by franchise or year - alongside other 2019 McDonald's Happy Meal toys - gives the set proper context on a collector shelf. Small zip-top bags work well for storage between display rotations, keeping dust and handling wear to a minimum.
If you're just getting into Kids' Meal collecting or filling out gaps in a 2019 run, this is a set worth completing. I snagged my Wonder Woman 2 not long after the promotion wrapped up, and I've had it logged in the Collectiblz app ever since - it's an easy way to track what you have, what you still need, and how the wave fits into your broader collection. If you're chasing down the rest of the POG 2019 set, definitely give the app a look for managing your list. ✨
Short wave, big personality - and a nice snapshot of a 2019 Happy Meal moment worth holding onto.
