Following the previously teased McDonald’s Japan collaboration with Hello Kitty, we now know what this Happy Meal toys crossover has in store for the Sanrio mascot’s 50th anniversary. Starting on December 15, 2023 and for approximately four weeks, those who purchase a Happy Set in Japan will receive one of 50 different Hello Kitty mini plush keychains at random.
Many of the Hello Kitty plush keychains you can receive are based on previous legacy designs of the character. For example, an original milk Hello Kitty version from her debut year of 1974 is a potential toy. Other examples include a monochrome Hello Kitty from 1987, a rainbow pearl Hello Kitty from 1996, and “Friend The Future” Hello Kitty from 2005. You’ll also notice toys themed after the beach, bumble bees, weddings, and more. There are also some new designs and versions exclusive to this collaboration. For example, some of the plush toys available have Hello Kitty dressed as McDonald’s employees and managers.
