They've been in the hot hands of Maccas fans in America, Bali, Thailand, New Zealand, and Singapore. Now, Australians will get the chance to collect mini Crocs keychains when they order a Happy Meal.
Images of the new Happy Meal toy were leaked online this week ahead of McDonald's officially confirming the news.

Crocs Happy Meal toys are coming
Digital creator and self-confessed professional taste tester, Nectoriouspapi, shared the news online after stumbling on a sign within a local eatery.
"Maccas x Crocs happy meals. From July 10th. 8 to collect," he captioned his post.
The images shared confirmed the date of the release along with some of the designs rumoured to be featured in the range. There will be a range of red, white, yellow and blue colourways with tiny jibbitz - and all with a signature Maccas smiley face.
To say that they're the most anticipated Happy Meal toy is an understatement given the excitement from fans upon hearing the news.

"I need them all!"
When mum and foodie, Foodie Mumma Ren, shared the news on Facebook, she was also met with a heap of excitement.
"Noooooo. If these are coming to Aus... I need them all!!!!" one person cheered in the comments.
"Omg … I will buy and bin the Happy Meal for these," another joked.
A fan agreed "these are cute" while another said they've "been waiting for weeks for these".

The rumours are true!
At the time of the leaked images being shared, McDonald's wasn't in a position to confirm the rumours. But just days ahead of the release, they've now confirmed the news.
“Get set to collect! The Happy Meal you’ve been waiting for is here," Amanda Nakad, Marketing Director of Menu and Brand for McDonald’s Australia, shared excitedly in a statement.
“After a huge response to the Crocs Happy Meal in the US, we knew we had to bring the fun Down Under.
“Crocs are all about comfort and self-expression. With eight bold designs, mini shoeboxes, and Jibbitz sticker sheets, this collab is the perfect mix of individuality and fun we know Aussie families will love."
They're already selling for big bucks online
Much like the Squishmallows release, which many Aussies have been frothing over in recent weeks, the Crocs keychains were a hit in America. So much so, that collectors have been selling them for inflated prices online.
While the designs might vary from the ones that Aussies will get to collect, the complete range can be found on eBay for prices as high as US $50 - that's AUD $77!
Singular items are also fetching between AU $17 - AU $30.
Fair to say these are going to be POP.U.LAR and you’ll have to snap them one up quickly! The Crocs Happy Meal launches on Thursday 10 July and is available nationwide from 10.30am to midnight for a limited time only, while stock lasts, in participating restaurants at the front counter and via kiosk, drive thru, and through the MyMacca’s app.
