Overview
- The campaign began on Tuesday, Aug. 18, 2026, and is available at participating McDonald’s locations across the United States for a limited time while supplies last.
- There are eight collectible figures that fuse Hello Kitty characters with Godzilla kaiju, including Hello Kitty x Godzilla, Kuromi x Mechagodzilla, My Melody x Mothra, Keroppi x King Ghidorah and others.
- Each Happy Meal includes one randomly selected toy with standard meal choices such as a hamburger or chicken McNuggets, so collectors may need multiple purchases to complete the set.
- McDonald’s senior marketing director Guillaume Huin praised the drop as a standout collection, and early launch‑day reports show strong social buzz, long lines and uneven local availability.
- The tie‑up continues McDonald’s recent strategy of using high‑profile intellectual‑property crossovers to draw both families and nostalgic adult collectors; Hello Kitty was created by Sanrio in 1974 and Godzilla debuted in Toho’s 1954 film.
