Дата публикации: 13-08-2026 12:58:41



McDonald’s is saying hello to not one but two iconic pop culture figures with its latest Happy Meal.
The fast-food chain is launching a new Hello Kitty & Friends x Godzilla Happy Meal, which combines characters from the Sanrio universe with monsters from the iconic “Godzilla” film franchise.
The meals will be available at participating McDonald’s locations nationwide for a limited time starting Aug. 18.
Everyone knows the most important part of a Happy Meal is the toy, and McDonald’s has created eight exclusive collectible toys as part of the collab.
The chain teased its newest Happy Meal on Instagram Aug. 10 by sharing a short clip of Hello Kitty eyeing a Happy Meal in the ocean. But she didn’t look quite like herself and had what appeared to be a monster suit on, complete with a fierce head and tail.
McDonald’s captioned the post, “cute meets kaiju 08.18.”
On Aug. 12, the fast-food chain made things official by sharing a photo of the toys customers can look forward to when they open up their Hello Kitty & Friends x Godzilla Happy Meal.
McDonald’s captioned the post, “cosplaying right into our hearts. Hello Kitty and Friends x Godzilla Happy Meal out 8.18.”
The @snackwire Instagram account gave social media users a closer look at the Happy Meal toys, which include the following characters:
Cinnamoroll x Destoroyah
Badtz-Maru x Rodan
My Melody x Mothra
Keroppi x King Ghidorah
Chococat x SpaceGodzilla
Pompompurin x Gigan
Hello Kitty x Godzilla
Kuromi x Mechagodzilla
After seeing the new toys on the McDonald’s Instagram page, social media users quickly weighed in to express their excitement.
“Who put cinnamaroll i(n) that costume he is not destroying anything 😭😭😭😭😭,” one joked.
“Pompom Gigan is speaking to me,” another wrote.
“YALL BETTER GIMMIE CINNA FIRST TRY,” one commented.
One social media user called it “the cutest crossover” and another commented, “I guess I know my dinner august 18th.”
This is hardly the first time Hello Kitty has been featured in a Happy Meal. In 2025, McDonald’s released 12 toys as part of its Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles x Hello Kitty and Friends Happy Meal.
The Hello Kitty & Friends x Godzilla Happy Meal is the latest in a continuation of global partnerships, specifically in East Asia.
In July, the chain announced its latest BTS collab, the BT21 Happy Meal, which hit restaurants nationwide on July 14 for a limited time. McDonald’s previously partnered with the band in 2025 to release Happy Meals with TinyTAN toys inspired by each of the group’s seven members, and in
Fans of “KPop Demon Hunters” were treated to dueling adult meals inspired by the movie and a Derpy McFlurry in April 2026.
In 2025, McDonald’s also re-created one of its Japanese dipping sauces for U.S. restaurants in a collab with anime series “Jujutsu Kaisen.” The Special Grade Garlic Sauce was inspired by McDonald’s Japan’s Black Garlic Sauce.
