McDonald's New Happy Meal Toys Combine Two Nostalgic Fan Favorites

Earlier this week, McDonald’s debuted a new line of limited-edition Happy Meal toys which combine two nostalgic fan favorites.

On Tuesday, the chain began rolling out in America a set of toys which have already captivated most of the world. McDonald’s unveiled a collection of nine plushies melding Sanrio's Hello Kitty franchise and the Yu-Gi-Oh! Universe. The meals also come in a special “gift” box with a picture displaying one of the nine characters on the side.

"In your Happy Meal today. Probably on eBay for $500 in a week," McDonald's senior marketing director, Guillaume Huin, joked when announcing the new toys.

As predicted, the toys have already hit the resale market where, much like McDonald’s collectible cups given away with adult Happy Meals , they’re fetching a substantial profit. Individual plushies are selling from $10 to $20 while complete sets of nine are going for up to $100.

The limited-edition collaboration debuted in Europe in May and proceeded to roll out in South America, Central America, and Mexico before arriving stateside. As a result, American McDonald’s fans have had a lot of time to get excited about the franchise’s latest offering.

“So hype! Been waiting for these since they were announced overseas months ago,” one excited customer wrote on Reddit. “Managed to snag Kuriboh and Blue-Eyes at one location and Dark Magician at another.”

You can head to your local McDonald’s to begin collecting your own set.
