Hello Kitty is reportedly heading to Burger King for another major fast-food collaboration in the United States, with a new collection of blind-box toys featuring several popular Sanrio characters.
Leaked promotional materials shared by food news account MNMTwinz appear to reveal Burger King’s upcoming Hello Kitty and Friends collection, which is expected to feature six collectible figures.
Burger King x Hello Kitty Reportedly Includes Six Collectible Figures
According to the leaked promotional material, the collection includes Hello Kitty, Kuromi, My Melody, Cinnamoroll, and Keroppi, with the characters depicted alongside Burger King food.
For example, one of the Keroppi figures shows the character holding a box of chicken nuggets, giving the collectibles a distinctly Burger King-themed design.
Collectors may also have a chance to find a special gold Hello Kitty figure.
The rare variant is reportedly listed with a 5% pull rate, meaning fans could have a considerably harder time finding it compared with the standard figures.
However, the leaked material does not appear to confirm the complete details of the sixth figure.
Hello Kitty x Burger King Collaboration Reportedly Coming In October
The collaboration is reportedly scheduled to run at participating Burger King restaurants across the US from October 10 through November 30, 2026.
Exactly how customers will receive the figures remains unclear.
The toys could potentially be distributed through King Jr. Meals or offered separately, but neither option has been officially confirmed yet.
Burger King and Sanrio have also not officially announced the collaboration at the time of writing, so the reported dates, availability, and distribution method could still change.
Hello Kitty Just Had A Godzilla Fast Food Collaboration
If the Burger King collaboration happens as reported, it will be another major US fast-food appearance for Hello Kitty within a surprisingly short period.
In August 2026, McDonald’s released Hello Kitty × Godzilla Happy Meal toys, transforming Sanrio characters into designs inspired by famous kaiju.
That collection featured eight different toys, combining Hello Kitty and other Sanrio characters with the Godzilla franchise.
Now, just a few months later, Hello Kitty could be appearing at another major fast-food chain with a completely different set of collectibles.
Burger King Is Also Going All-In On Anime Collaborations
Hello Kitty isn’t the only major Japanese pop-culture franchise reportedly joining Burger King’s growing lineup of collaborations.
The chain recently unveiled a Dragon Ball Super collaboration featuring multiple toys based on characters from the popular anime, including Goku and Vegeta in their Super Saiyan Blue forms.
Burger King has also reportedly been involved in an Attack on Titan promotion in Russia, which includes a black Founding Titan Whopper alongside themed collectibles.
Meanwhile, rival fast-food giant McDonald’s has also been experimenting with unexpected anime crossovers.
The company recently confirmed a SpongeBob × One Piece collaboration featuring 15 exclusive toys, bringing together two major franchises for a unique collection.
With Hello Kitty potentially joining Burger King’s US lineup, the fast-food industry’s continued interest in anime and Japanese pop-culture collaborations shows no sign of slowing down.
For now, fans will have to wait for Burger King and Sanrio to officially confirm the Hello Kitty collection before the toys, release dates, and distribution details can be considered final. Bookmark Otaku Mantra for more anime news and updates!
