Now, to celebrate the 50th birthday of Hello Kitty, these Happy Meal toys are being rolled out in the US, with nine of the original 10 plushies available.
The meals may be kid-sized, but these toys were wildly popular with adults, so here’s how to get your hands on them before they’re gone.
What are the YuGiOh Hello Kitty Happy Meal toys?
The lineup included the following in Belgium:
However, the Badtz-maru as Red-Eyes Black Dragon toy will not be available in the US iteration of this collaboration.
McDonald’s announced posted on X on August 20 announcing the official arrival of these toys in stores:

They had previously teased the collaboration the day before, stating that they were “mixing friend groups.”
Unlike other McDonald’s launches, Happy Meal Toys can’t simply be ordered, and there is often an air of mystery around how long they will be available for.
To get one of these toys, you simply need to order any Happy Meal at your local McDonald’s. These are being launched across the country, but if you want to be sure, check withyour storebefore ordering.
The toys are randomly placed inside the red boxes, so if you want to collect them all you’re in for a lot of chicken nuggets.
Collecting all of these YuGiOh Hello Kitty Happy Meal toys could be worth it in the end though, because McDonald’s current Collector’s Cup promo, which includes a Hello Kitty cup, isselling for hundreds of dollars onlinealready.
