If you grew up in the 1990s or early 2000s, you probably were a fan of fast food and pop culture, which meant that a trip to Burger King could satisfy both of those cravings. And if you kept a hold of your toys from your kid’s meal at Burger King, you might actually be sitting on something a lot more valuable than just nostalgia.
“TV and film related toys always perform better than lines that were original designs by the fast food chain themselves, because the nostalgia is driven by memories of the show and watching clips on YouTube,” explained Kayleigh Davies, from the global online auction platform Auctionet. “They were so ubiquitous that they’re remembered by so many people, and there’s always going to be some kind of market for these items.”
GOBankingRates asked Davies what five Burger King toys are worth way more money today, and here’s what made the list.
Pokémon Movie Promo
- Released: 1999
Burger King released a series of toys in their kids meals that came in the form of PokéBalls to promote the first Pokémon theatrical feature.
“Unfortunately the containers posed a suffocation risk if placed over the mouth and nose, and the toys were recalled after the death of an infant,” noted Davies. “Demand had been huge and Burger King had to run newspaper ads apologizing for shortages.”
Davies described how the full series contained a total of 57 toys, with full sets consistently selling for $398.34 to $531.11 on eBay over the first half of 2025.
Disney Collectable Glasses
- Released: 1994
Davies pointed out that collectable glasses have a broader appeal than toys on the collectibles market.
“Not everyone has space to display or store toys, but we can always find room in our cupboards for useful things like drinking glasses,” highlighted Davies, adding that the Disney collector cups that came out in 1994, featuring characters from The Lion King and other films tend to sell for around $132.78 for a set of 12 today.
Classic Millennial Cartoons
- Released: 2025
This year in Brazil, Burger King released a series for those nostalgic for the 1990s, featuring classic cartoon characters like Courage the Cowardly Dog and the Fairly Odd Parents, according to Davies.
“Although they’re new, the fact they were only available in a regional market and have perfectly tapped into the childhoods of many of us mean people are paying £10-£20 ($13.28 to $26.56 USD) each for the figures,” Davies added.
Game Boy Pokémon Tie-In
- Released: 2000
“Sticking with Pokémon, another series of toys released in 2000 are also popular with collectors,” Davies commented. “The toys were modelled as mini Game Boy Colors, and came with removable ‘cartridges’ featuring different characters.”
Davies highlighted how some collectors are now configuring these Burger King collectibles to actually function with real game play on the consoles.
“Highest price on eBay in the last six months for a single toy was £54 ($71.70 USD), for a gold-colored Game Boy with a Dragonair cartridge,” Davies pointed out.
Full Collectible Sets
- Released: Late 1990s and early 2000s
In Davies’ professional experience, collectors are clamoring highly in demand, full sets of toys from Burger King and other places.
“Lord of the Rings from 2001, Universal Studios Monsters from 1997, and multiple Simpsons releases including a UK exclusive set from 2001 all can fetch between £50-£100 ($66.39 to $132.78 USD) for a full set,” Davies explained, which usually consist of 10 to 12 figures.
“An instant collection is attractive, and those who are around 40 are now at the point where they want to buy back their childhood!”
