McDonald's Happy Meal Trolls World Tour 2020 - Biggie & Mr. Dinkles
Welcome Back to the Drive-Thru, Troll Fans 🍟
If you were paying attention to the Happy Meal bins in spring of 2020, you know DreamWorks Trolls World Tour brought some genuinely fun promo toys to McDonald's. The wave ran from late April through June of 2020 and offered ten figures tied to the animated sequel - and while every piece in the set has its charms, today I want to focus on one of the standout pairings from the collection: Biggie & Mr. Dinkles.
Meet the Duo: Biggie & Mr. Dinkles
Biggie is one of the most beloved supporting characters in the Trolls franchise - a massive, soft-hearted Troll with an even softer spot for his tiny pet worm, Mr. Dinkles. The Happy Meal version captures both characters in a single figure, which is a clever production decision for a promo toy. Biggie is molded in that signature hard ABS plastic typical of Happy Meal figures, with a round, plush-looking body that translates surprisingly well into plastic form. His expression reads as earnest and sweet, which is very true to the character.
Mr. Dinkles sits in Biggie's hands, small enough to be easy to miss on a quick glance but detailed enough to be unmistakably present. Paint apps are clean at this scale - Biggie's signature blue hair is bright and consistent, and his outfit details are crisply applied. The sculpt is solid for a promo toy, with no sharp edges and a stable flat base. This one stands on a shelf without issue, which is not always a given with Happy Meal figures of this shape.
Scale-wise, the figure sits in the mid-range of the wave - not the tallest, not the smallest. The plastic feels appropriately sturdy without being heavy, which is the right call for a toy aimed at younger kids but equally appreciated by collectors keeping pieces long-term.
The Full Trolls World Tour 2020 Wave
This 10-piece wave included some strong character choices alongside Biggie & Mr. Dinkles. The full assortment featured:
- Party Poppy - the optimistic, music-loving lead of the Pop Trolls
- Party Branch - Poppy's reluctant but loyal counterpart
- Cloud Guy - the quirky cloud character who steals every scene he is in
- Tiny Diamond - the glitter-covered newborn with an outsized personality
- Queen Barb - the hard-rocking villain with serious shelf presence
- Guy Diamond - the glitter troll with the most dramatic hair in the set
- Delta Dawn - the Country music troll with a no-nonsense vibe
- Cooper - the giraffe-like Funk troll who rounds out the main crew
- King Trollex - the Techno troll ruler with an electric color palette
- Biggie & Mr. Dinkles - the emotional heart of the Pop Trolls group
The wave did a solid job of pulling from both the Pop Trolls core cast and the genre-specific tribe leaders introduced in the sequel, which gave the set real visual variety. Queen Barb is probably the most striking piece in the assortment, with her punk rock look translating well into plastic. King Trollex and Delta Dawn are rarer to find complete and in good shape, making them the harder-to-chase pieces of the wave. Biggie & Mr. Dinkles lands comfortably in the middle tier in terms of display drama, but it carries genuine charm that puts it firmly in the keeper category.
The best promo toys manage to capture a character's essence in a single pose, and Biggie & Mr. Dinkles does exactly that. The pairing in one sculpt is the kind of design choice that tells you the toy team actually understood what made the characters work - it is not just a Biggie figure, it is their relationship in miniature form. That is rarer than it should be in this format.
Collector Notes
The Trolls World Tour 2020 wave is still relatively findable in the secondary market, though condition varies widely. The paint on smaller accent details can chip over time, so look for examples with clean, unscuffed apps. Biggie & Mr. Dinkles holds up well on display without a lot of support needed - that stable flat base is a real plus for long-term shelf life.
Play value is moderate. There are no moving parts, but the tactile feel of the sculpt and the clear character representation make it appealing to younger fans who know the films. For adult collectors, this is a piece worth including for wave completeness, and the dual-character concept adds something you do not see often in Happy Meal toy design - two characters, one footprint.
Long-term shelf appeal is solid. The Trolls franchise has a loyal fan base, and the 2020 wave captures a specific moment tied to the theatrical release window before streaming became the default. That gives it a small amount of cultural anchor that keeps it interesting beyond just the plastic itself. Completing the full 10-piece set is the real goal here - individually the figures are fun, but together they make a strong themed display.
Display and Storage Ideas
Biggie & Mr. Dinkles fits naturally alongside the rest of the Trolls figures on an open shelf. Grouping the full 10-piece wave creates a strong visual spread, especially with the genre-tribe leaders providing color contrast against the Pop Troll figures. If you are short on display space, this one and Party Poppy make a natural focal pair. For storage, a small acrylic case or a labeled bin organized by franchise and year keeps these small figures protected from dust and easy to find when you want to swap them out.
I picked this one up during a lunch run while the promo was still running and have it marked as owned in the Collectiblz app. It is a handy way to keep track of which pieces in a wave you have already landed and which ones you are still tracking down. If you are working through the Trolls World Tour set or any other Happy Meal wave, the app makes the whole process a lot more organized.
