Is the $300,000 McDonald's Toy Related to Pokémon?
No. The $300,000 figure comes from an unrelated collector-market story about a rare vintage McDonald's toy, not from the Pokémon promotion. RandomPokemon.net has not verified the details of that sale. The 2026 Pokémon Happy Meal toys are a new, mass-produced promotional release, and the set is too new to have established secondary-market pricing. Collect for fun first.

Is the $300,000 McDonald's toy a Pokémon Happy Meal item?
