McDonald's Announces Eight Hello Kitty x Godzilla Toys Coming to Happy Meals This August

McDonald's is set to introduce eight Hello Kitty and Godzilla toys to Happy Meals this August, sparking excitement among fans of both franchises. The toys, which include popular characters such as Hello Kitty, Godzilla, My Melody, Mothra, and others, will be available in participating locations across the United States starting August 18. McDonald's officially announced the full list of toys on August 12, alongside a graphic showcasing each figure and the unique Godzilla-themed box they'll come in.

While the collaboration promises a diverse range of characters, some fans are worried about potential scalping issues. In the past, exclusive Happy Meal items have attracted the attention of scalpers, leading to chaos during partnerships with Pokemon. Notable incidents include the 2021 Pokemon 25th anniversary Happy Meals, where scalpers resold card packs for hundreds of dollars online, and the 2025 McDonald's Japan Pokemon card promotion, which resulted in food waste and packaging littered outside due to excessive scalping.

The anticipation for this McDonald's and Hello Kitty x Godzilla collaboration is high, with responses to the announcement from fans being overwhelmingly positive. However, the possibility of scalpers ruining the experience for others remains a concern. McDonald's has previously collaborated with Hello Kitty on other Happy Meal toys, such as the Hello Kitty x Yu-Gi-Oh! line in 2024, which further highlights the company's history of successful partnerships with popular franchises.
