McDonald’s has done it again with another epic collab, folks!
They’re bringing together the whimsical world of Sanrio with the mystical realm of Yu-Gi-Oh in an exclusive Happy Meal toy collaboration.
Imagine the charm of Hello Kitty characters fused with the powerful creatures of Yu-Gi-Oh?!
Yes, it’s happening, and it’s happening now, but only in Belgium and Singapore, much to the delight (and envy) of fans worldwide.
Starting from March 6, McDonald’s Belgium rolled out a collection of 10 astonishing plush toys.
Ever wondered what My Melody would look like as Dark Magician Girl or Hello Kitty as the formidable Dark Magician?
Well, wonder no more because McDonald’s has brought these fantasies to life.
Not to be outdone, McDonald’s Singapore jumped on the bandwagon with its own launch on March 21.
Over five weeks, two new toys will be released every Thursday at 11 am. It’s a collector’s dream and a fast-food frenzy rolled into one.
Each purchase unlocks a special digital experience, adding an interactive twist to the traditional Happy Meal.
For fans outside Belgium and Singapore, snagging this collection is tough.
Online resellers are your best bet for die-hard collectors.
Here’s how the release schedule breaks down in Singapore, with each week unveiling two new characters:
- Week 1: Hello Kitty Dark Magician and Cinnamoroll Blue Eyes White Dragon make their grand entrance.
- Week 2: My Melody Dark Magician Girl and Kuromi Silfer The Sky Dragon join the fray.
- Week 3: Pompompurin Exodia The Forbidden One and Keroppi Kuriboh are up next.
- Week 4: Tuxedosam Obelisk The Tormentor and Badtz Maru Red Eyes Black Dragon step into the spotlight.
- Week 5: Chococat The Winged Dragon Of Ra and Pochacco Time Wizard wrap up the collection.

This isn’t McDonald’s first dance with Sanrio characters – actually quite common in Asia.
These campaigns not only celebrate iconic characters but also create moments of excitement and nostalgia for fans of all ages.
Now, let’s spread the word and share this epic crossover with friends.
Who knows?
Maybe you’ll find a fellow collector or a trading partner to complete your set.
McDonald’s Happy Meal has once again proven it’s not just for kids but for anyone who loves a good dose of nostalgia and fun.
