The new Kerwin Frost Box launched on December 11 and includes 10-piece Chicken McNuggets or a Big Mac, World Famous Fries and a soft drink.
When you order one of the limited-edition meals, you’ll also get a McNugget Buddy collectible themed around the Harlem-born entertainer.
This is the first time McDonald’s has released the plastic nugget-shaped characters in more than 25 years, so it’s a pretty big deal.
“Complete with mix-and-match outfits, the Buddies’ designs are inspired by Kerwin’s childhood experiences and belief that everyone should feel free to express themselves,” McDonald’s said.
Secret ‘Golden Legend’ McNugget toy found inside
The fast food chain has announced six different Kerwin Frost McNugget Buddies to collect – but there is also one more secret one.
McDonald’s customers have found a seventh unannounced character inside some of the boxes that says “Golden Legend”.
The nugget is gold in color and has eyes and a mouth, but doesn’t appear to be themed around the talk show host at all.
It comes with a card that says: “Golden like the arches, golden like the fries, golden like the edges on McDonald’s apple pie.”
The chain hasn’t said anything about the extra McNugget Buddy at all, so it’s not clear how many there are or how rare it actually is.
