How To Get The Yu-Gi-Oh Hello Kitty Happy Meal Toys
On August 20, McDonald’s officially announced the arrival of the highly anticipated Yu-Gi-Oh Hello Kitty Happy Meal toys via a post on X. They had teased the collaboration the day before, hinting at the excitement to come by stating they were “mixing friend groups.”
Unlike other McDonald’s releases, Happy Meal toys can’t be purchased separately, and there's often some uncertainty about how long they’ll be available.
To get one of these toys, you need to just order a Happy Meal at your local McDonald’s. Although these toys are being launched nationwide, it's a good idea to check with your store to be sure they’re in stock.
The toys are randomly placed inside the Happy Meal boxes, so collecting the entire set may require multiple orders—and a lot of chicken nuggets.
However, collecting all the Yu-Gi-Oh Hello Kitty Happy Meal toys could be worthwhile. McDonald’s current Collector’s Cup promo, which includes a Hello Kitty cup, is already fetching hundreds of dollars online.
