In 1988, McDonald's featured a popular advertising character named "Mac Tonight" in their Happy Meal toy promotions. Mac Tonight was a moon-headed character who wore sunglasses and played the piano while singing a jingle to promote McDonald's dinner offerings. The character was created to emphasize McDonald's extended evening hours.

The Mac Tonight Happy Meal toys included various miniature figures and items related to the character. These toys were typically made of plastic and were designed to be fun collectibles for kids. Some of the toys featured movable parts or interactive elements, making them even more enjoyable for children.
