🐢🍔 Cowabunga Meets Kawaii! – TMNT × Hello Kitty 

Hits McDonald's This August

By Drake's Nexus

This August, two of the most iconic worlds are colliding in a crossover so unexpected, it might just break the cuteness meter. That’s right—Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles × Hello Kitty and Friends is coming to McDonald’s Happy Meals in the U.S. starting August 12, 2025, and we are here for it.

After successful rollouts in Malaysia, Brunei, and Italy, this mashup of mutant mayhem and Sanrio sweetness is finally making its way to the States—and fans of all ages are about to get shell-shocked (in the best way).

🎁 What’s in the Happy Meal?

Expect eight collectible figures featuring Hello Kitty, My Melody, Cinnamoroll, and Kuromi—all reimagined as your favorite pizza-loving ninja turtles. These stylish mashups are bursting with nostalgic flair and are being released in weekly waves, just like their international counterparts.

Imagine:

• Hello Kitty donning Leonardo’s blue bandana,

• My Melody wielding Donatello’s bo staff,

• Kuromi showing off Raphael’s signature scowl,

• And Cinnamoroll bringing the fun as Michelangelo.

Honestly? These toys are going to fly off the shelves faster than Mikey can finish a slice of pepperoni.

🎮 What About the Browser Game?

International fans got an exclusive browser-based runner game (shoutout to Italy 👀), where players could dodge obstacles and collect goodies as Hello Kitty and her ninja-fied crew.

Will we get the game in the U.S.? 

So far—no confirmation. The game is region-locked to Italy for now, but we’ll be keeping an eye out if that changes!
