Hello Kitty’smost adorably cool collaboration yet is on its way to McDonald’s in the coming weeks. According toa Facebook post on the official company account,McDonald’s plans to release aTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles x Hello Kitty x Happy Meal,complete with Sanrio toys dressed like TMNT characters.
As a test run, the TMNT x Hello Kitty meal was already released in Malaysia and Italy in July 2025. Because of the overwhelmingly positive reception to that initial campaign, the partnership is now making its wayto the United States on August 12.
McDonald’s TMNT x Hello Kitty Toys Are Coming to the United States
Twelve Toy Designs Will Be Available, Featuring Hello Kitty, Cinnamoroll, My Melody, Kuromi, and Badtz-Maru
The image posted on McDonald’s Facebook page features a vibrant graphic of a street backlit by a night sky, with TMNT x Hello Kitty toys emerging from an open manhole. The Happy Meal box sits atop the manhole cover, emblazoned with a colorful graphic featuring Raphael, one of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Hello Kitty herself, representing the collaboration.
There will be twelve different toys available to collect in the Happy Meal,featuring characters like Hello Kitty, Cinnamoroll, My Melody, Kuromi, and Badtz-Maru each wearing an iconic mask that correlates with one of the four Ninja Turtles: Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, and Michelangelo. Each Happy Meal comes with one random toy from this lineup.

Some of the toys still have white fur, matching the character’s original Sanrio designs, while some are green and distinctly turtle-like to match the look of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Whether white or green, each toy wears an animated, determined expression and has a turtle-shaped body with a visible shell, further calling back to their TMNT inspirations.
The Hello Kitty x TMNT Toys Will Likely Sell Out Fast
In Both Malaysia and Italy, the Happy Meal Toys Were a True Crowd-Pleaser
The toys were only available for a short time in both Malaysia and Italy, and although these were both test-runs, it is highly likely that the collaboration will sell out quickly in the United States as well. Sanrio is one of the most well-liked entertainment companies worldwide, and because of this, most Sanrio-related merchandise drops are snatched up rapidly.
Fans interested in getting their hands on one of these uniquely cute TMNT x Hello Kitty toys should run to McDonald’s and purchase a Happy Meal on August 12, because the collaboration is only available while supplies last, and they are limited. This is certainly not McDonald’s first venture into the world of anime either.
The TMNT x Hello Kitty McDonald’s Happy Meal will be available in the United States beginning on June 10, 2025.
The fast food chain’s past notable anime endeavors includeJujutsu Kaisen-themed McDonald’s sauce packets, Hatsune Miku french fries, and a temporary rebrand into “WcDonald’s”, an anime version of the fast food chain. McDonald’s has incorporated many anime series into their brand in the past, with tremendous success.
The Hello Kitty x TMNT Happy Meal toys boast charming designs sure to entice any fan of either franchise. It only makes sense for one of the largest pop culture companies to team up with one of the most widely-visited fast food restaurants in the world, so theHello Kitty x TMNT McDonald’scollaboration is guaranteed to be a hit.
