It's in the fall catalog, which I haven't seen yet, but which some
people have. Greg M posted a scan of it. I am anxious to get that
catalog because supposedly it also has the happymeal sets pictured in
it.

It does, but don't get too excited - all 8 are in a tiny picture about
3" x 3".

The McDonaldland characters are faces printed on 2x3 low slopes.

Ronald McDonald has a red & yellow helicopter.
Birdie has a pink, white, and yellow seaplane. (looks like 3 pink plates and
  a pink low slope)
The yellow Fry Guy has...er...something in green, red, and yellow.  Green low
  slopes and plates!
Grimace has what looks like a green, blue, and yellow zamboni (or lawnmower?)

After looking a the picture carfully I have noticed something very
interesting.  The blue,red,yellow boat is just above Grimaces car
thing.  Grimaces "car" has darker colored slopes that appear to be
violet.  It is the same picture so we can't claim color distortion.  The
two things have different colors. Oh can it be I got my wish.

I do so hope Lego utilizes this violet color instead of the disgusting
purple they have now.

I can't identify the other characters - I don't remember a dog in the
McDonaldland characters...but anyway, the other vehicles are:

A black, red & yellow hovercoptor (a hovercraft-looking thing with a
  propeller on top)
A black, green (more green plates!) and red plane.
A green and yellow racecar (green bricks & slopes)
A blue, red and yellow boat

The "super model" is not pictured.
