Are Changeables Returning to McDonald’s in 2026?

Recently, there have been rumors that Changeables are returning to McDonald’s in 2026.

Changeables were popular McDonald’s toys in the late 80s and early 90s that featured McDonald’s “food” items or packaging that transformed into robots(1987/1989) or dinosaurs (1990).

But are they coming back?

Yes. It seems that this rumor is indeed true given McDonald’s official teaser after leaked images appeared,
