2011 McDonald's Happy Meal Toy – Tonka Garage "Glacier Digger"

Item Description:

  • Toy Name: Tonka Garage Glacier Digger (#3)
  • Brand: Hasbro (Tonka) for McDonald’s
  • Series: McDonald’s Happy Meal – Tonka Garage
  • Year: 2011
  • Condition: Unopened, factory-sealed in original polybag with clear labeling and original Happy Meal box featuring Tonka and My Little Pony designs.
  • Packaging: Excellent condition. Includes full-color Happy Meal box with thematic graphics and minimal wear.
  • Language Support: English, French, and Spanish print, confirming North American (U.S./Canada) distribution.

Historical Context:

The Tonka Garage Glacier Digger was part of a limited-run promotional toy line included in McDonald’s Happy Meals in 2011. This series aimed to spark adventurous play and imagination in children, featuring various rugged off-road style vehicles themed around Tonka’s legacy as a builder brand. Concurrently, the packaging promotes My Little Ponyon the reverse, making this box particularly collectible for crossover collectors.

The toy itself, manufactured under license by Hasbro, reflects the era's branding and promotional strategies—targeting both boys (Tonka) and girls (My Little Pony) in a single meal box campaign.

Value Estimate (as of 2025):

Condition

Estimated Value

Unopened with bag only

$8 – $12 USD

Unopened with original Happy Meal box

$15 – $20 USD

Opened/loose

$3 – $5 USD

 

The presence of the original box in excellent condition increases collectible value, particularly among Happy Meal memorabilia collectors and Tonka toy enthusiasts.

Rarity and Demand:

  • These toys are moderately collectible, with growing interest in complete, unopened McDonald's Happy Meal sets from the 2000s and early 2010s.
  • Having the full packaging including the Happy Meal box makes it more desirable than loose or bag-only examples.
  • Not exceedingly rare, but harder to find with original box intact.

Recommendation:

A professional appraisal may be warranted if part of a larger collection of sealed McDonald’s Happy Meal sets or if you plan to insure or auction the item. For private sale or display, the current valuation should be sufficient for general market comparison.
