Quacks Duck Appraisal

McDonald's Happy Meal Beanie Baby 'Quacks' Duck (Sealed)

This item is a McDonald's Happy Meal promotional toy, specifically a 'Quacks' Beanie Baby, presented in its original, sealed plastic packaging. The packaging itself is a clear plastic bag, with printed graphics on the front in a vibrant color scheme of green, red, yellow, and white. A prominent 'M' logo, indicative of McDonald's, is visible in yellow with green outlining, forming a part of the overall design that depicts a pair of hands. To the left of the 'M' logo, Ronald McDonald's smiling face is illustrated, suggesting its origin as a McDonald's promotional item. The iconic red 'Ty' heart logo, synonymous with Beanie Babies, is centrally placed on the packaging. Below the 'Ty' logo, the name 'QUACKS' is printed, identifying the specific character within. Further text indicates 'Toy Animal' in English, 'Petit toutou' in French, and 'Juguete de Animal' in Spanish, catering to a broad audience. A large yellow number '9' is visible in the upper right corner of the packaging, which likely denotes its series number or position within a set of promotional toys. The contents of the bag, the 'Quacks' Beanie Baby, are not fully visible due to the packaging but appear to be a small plush toy. The item is in 'New Old Stock' condition, meaning it is unused and still sealed in its original packaging, preserving its original factory state. This condition is a key factor in assessing its value. The sealed nature of the packaging prevents direct observation of the toy's material and individual details, but it is expected to be a small, soft, bean-filled plush toy characteristic of Beanie Babies. There are no visible tears or punctures in the plastic packaging, suggesting excellent preservation. This item is a collectible from a specific promotional period, likely dating back to the late 1990s when Beanie Babies were a popular collectible item and frequently featured in McDonald's Happy Meals.
