A little boat carrying a red McDonald's fry box drifts across the water, then a Hello Kitty wearing a Godzilla head slowly emerges from the waves before sinking back into the depths — that's the scene from McDonald's teaser clip, paired with a single line of text: "cute meets kaiju 08.18." The contrast is the whole point of this collab: cutesy characters strapped into the head of the King of the Monsters, weird enough to be irresistible.
This marks the latest reveal from the three-way McDonald's x Hello Kitty x Godzilla toy collection, following the buzzy Travis Scott x CACTUS PLANT FLEA MARKET "Big Fries Backpack" collab. Alongside the Godzilla-helmeted Hello Kitty, Kuromi appears to be channeling Mechagodzilla, while Badtz-Maru looks to be paying tribute to Space Godzilla. The promo poster shows the Godzilla version of Hello Kitty, Mechagodzilla, and another kaiju lined up against a city skyline — suggesting this lineup goes well beyond just one or two figures.
