Happy Meals are having a moment, and if you don’t believe me, let’s list some of the more recent ones that have made their way to our favorite Golden Arches-adorned burger joint, shall we? There was the viral K-Pop Demon Hunters meal, complete with umami fries and purple demon sauce. During the World Cup, McDonald’s also dropped a Squishmallows meal for the kiddos and a FIFA World Cup 26 Meal for us grown-ups. And it looks like Mickey D’s is doing it again, this time with a crossover we never saw coming. Introducing the Hello Kitty & Friends x Godzilla Happy Meal.
That’s right, friends, the Sanrio universe is officially merging with monsters from the Godzilla film franchise to make for one seriously adorable Happy Meal. According to McDonald’s Menu Spotter website, “It’s the ultimate crossover where Kawaii meets Kaiju, making friends at first bite and proving that even the mightiest monsters have a soft side.” And yes, that even includes us when we’re hangry.

The unexpected collab features an array of characters from the Hello Kitty world sporting a variety of ferociously cute costumes modeled after monsters like Mothra, Ghidorah, and, of course, the titular character himself, Godzilla. All eight cross-playing characters are available as collectible toys in the limited-time meal, and just in case you’re already scoping out your fave, here is the full list of cutesy crossovers you can find:
- Cinnamoroll x Destoroyah
- Badtz-Maru x Rodan
- My Melody x Mothra
- Keroppi x King Ghidorah
- Chococat x SpaceGodzilla
- Pompompurin x Gigan
- Hello Kitty x Godzilla
- Kuromi x Mechagodzilla
Unfortunately, this offering from McDonald’s is a true Happy Meal, not one targeted at Adults, but let’s be honest: do kids these days even know who Godzilla is? Even if they do, we won’t judge if you use the kiddos as an excuse to collect all eight toys. Pro-tip: If you are hoping to collect these in hopes that they’ll be worth an exorbitant amount of money later in the future, make sure to keep them in their original packaging. The monstrously lovable meal will be available starting August 18 at participating McDonald’s locations nationwide for a limited time.
