Puppy in a green bus (#20)

This puppy figure from the 1996 McDonald's 101 Dalmatians Happy Meal set rides in a green bus. Collectors commonly slot it at number 20 in the widely used 1-101 convention.

McDonald's sold the figures in December 1996 in a single generic polybag. It was printed in English, French and Spanish, with no toy number or figure name on it. Buyers could not tell which puppy they had until they opened the bag. McDonald's never numbered the set; the 1-101 order in use today grew out of dealer listings over the years.

The green bus appears in this position on McDonald's official promotional poster.

How to identify it

White puppy with black spots

Distinguished by its prop or pose: riding in a green bus

The number is an unofficial collector-convention number, not a McDonald's or Disney designation: no numbering appears on the toy, the polybag, the collector case, the certificate or the official poster. This puppy has no official name. Corroboration for this entry: object clearly visible on the official McDonald's poster.
