Year of the Rat Hamburglar McDonald’s Philippines (February 5, 2026)

As of February 5, 2026, McDonald’s Philippines is running a Year of the Rat “Zodiac” Happy Meal toy promotion that includes a collectible version of the classic Hamburglar figure among other themed toys tied to the Chinese zodiac. In this promotional set, each Happy Meal comes with one of the twelve zodiac-inspired figurines — including the Rat variant featuring the mischievous Hamburglar character from McDonaldland — packaged as blind-box Happy Meal toys that fans and collectors can try to collect all twelve. The Hamburglar figure itself harkens back to one of McDonald’s most iconic Happy Meal characters from the 1990s, originally released in 1995 in earlier vintage Happy Meal toy campaigns and beloved by collectors today.

2000 Hamburglar Wind Up Toy (McDonald's)

 

The 2000 Hamburglar Wind-Up Toy from McDonald’s is a nostalgic little piece of mischief that perfectly captures the character’s playful spirit. Designed with a chunky, cartoonish look, Hamburglar’s striped outfit and cheeky grin make him instantly recognizable, and the wind-up feature sends him tumbling along in a way that feels both retro and fun. While the movement is simple, it adds charm and makes the toy more interactive compared to static figures. For collectors, it’s a reminder of the early 2000s Happy Meal era, when wind-up toys brought extra excitement to mealtime.

Did you know? 

Hamburglar is a pint-sized burglar who was introduced in 1971 as one of the first antagonists of the commercials where often attempts to steal burgers from Ronald. Originally, Hamburglar spoke in a gibberish language which had to be translated by Captain Crook. He was reintroduced in 1985 as one of the main protagonists where he spoke in a normal sentence. From 1971 to 1992, Hamburglar was performed by Frank Delfino, Jerry Maren in some commercials and Tommy Vicini from 1992 to 2003 while the character was voiced by Larry Storch from 1971 to 1986, Howard Morris from 1986 to 2003, and sometimes Charlie Adler in commercials during the mid 1980s and in The Wacky Adventures of Ronald McDonald. In 2015, McDonald's brought back the Hamburglar as part of the promotion of a new sirloin burger.

Hamburglar was revised in 1985, when his look changed from a trollish old man to a red-head Dennis the Menace-type child who spoke and wore a shorter-brimmed hat and a black cape with yellow on the inside. He also wore red and white shoes to go with the look, with four-fingered red gloves. His previously-unintelligible muttering was now the familiar "robble robble." In "The Wacky Adventures of Ronald McDonald," he took on a new, sporty appearance wearing green goggles, a leather jacket, striped shirt, shorts and sneakers. He loved playing tricks on his friends and still loved burgers. The last appearances of Hamburglar on television were prime time commercials promoting the dollar menu.
