<p>The next line of Happy Meal toys is truly meta: there's a miniature replica of a McDonald's restaurant and other staples of the fast food chain including tiny food plates, ordering kiosks and delivery trucks.</p>
<p>These new Lil McDonald's toys – a total of 21 will be available – are coming to Happy Meals July 1.</p>
<p>"As a parent, there's something magical about watching your child's imagination come to life with these tiny toys," said Anna Engel, director of marketing, brand, content and culture for McDonald's USA, in a press release. "That's what makes Lil McDonald's so special. It brings back my own childhood memories of playing McDonald's and now I get to create new ones with my kids."</p>
<p>The announcement of the new Happy Meal toys comes as McDonald's faces a June 24-30 boycott organized by grassroots advocacy group The People's Union USA to protest the corporation's rolling back of its DEI initiatives in January.</p>
