There aren't many things I like more than a McContraption. A McTrain, a McPaddleboat—you name it, and I've obsessed over it. Well, some of you diecast car collectors are about to be driven wild by the news that the newest McVehicles will fit in the palm of your hand. They're the Tomica Toyota GR Corolla and GR86, and they're coming to a Happy Meal not-so-near you.

Starting next Friday, April 12, McDonald's Happy Meal toys in Japan will include a new line of toy cars, one of which is a gold GR Corolla. It pays tribute to Kalle Rovanperä, the Toyota rally driver who became the youngest in history to win the World Rally Championship, and it features optional McDonald's stickers and a button to open its hood. The toy was previewed in an ad that dives into the imagination of a small child drifting it around a tabletop—atta girl, somebody set her up with a kart.
