Hello Kitty has been on a roll this year, celebrating her 40th birthday by holding her first convention in America and preparing to open a Hello Kitty cafe in California. Now, the beloved character is being featured as a Happy Meal toy for McDonald’s Korea while cosplaying as some of her Sanrio friends.
If you live in South Korea and you love Sanrio characters, then you better hurry over to the closest McDonald’s because these irresistibly cute plushies are not going to last. As some of you may be aware, Koreans take their Happy Meal toys very seriously.
Check out these adorable limited edition Hello Kitty plushies below:
Pictured above, Hello Kitty is dressed in My Melody and Tuxedo Sam costumes. These two toys were released on Nov. 29.
Plusies of Hello Kitty dressed as Purin and Keroppi were released on Dec. 3.
The final pair of plushies feature Hello Kitty dressed as Bad Badtz-Maru and Monkichi and will hit Happy Meals on Dec. 7.
Before you line up at McDonald’s, please note that each customer are allowed only two plushies with one purchase. That means you can’t buy all six toys at the same time.
