Kirby Happy Meal Promotion Announced For McDonald's Japan

Kirby is likely to eat the entire meal before the purchaser is able to.

...followed by the purchaser.

Despite being an adult myself, those toys do look pretty neat, especially for a (huge) Kirby fan myself. I'd be surprised if this ever came to the US.

I also find it odd how despite most of the toys being (more or less) based off of Kirby and the Forgotten Land that Keeby (Yellow Kirby) himself never appeared in that game.

Japan continues to hurt me with their Japan only products.

Sucks this will never come here. I’d be all over it!

It's a shame McDonald's is on the boycott list for their... shall we say, "divestments," because these Kirby toys are super cute.

Does this mean that there might be something Kirby related coming up? Also how much do we have to pay to get these in the states?

In the UK, kids get cardboard they slot together and then it gets wrecked in a few minutes.

Japan!
JAPAN!
Start sharing these. I don't go to McDonald's but if you bring me Kirby to Europe I promise I'll complete the entire collection.

Why can’t this be US too? Instead we just get Barbie or TTG for the tenthmellionth time, with Pokémon cards every now and then ):

PLUSHIES?! Plastic toys have and always will be terrible. This needs to be worldwide...

Such a shame Kirby has to be associated with that horrid company.

I wish this were brought over worldwide...

@GarlicGuzzler Who knows. Maybe McDonald's has better standards abroad.

As an American, I can confirm we have no standards. As long as it's edible, that's all that matters.

Once again the Japanese beat us when it comes to entertainment.

"Describe the Kirby series in two words"
"Happy Meal"

I would be all over this!

gasp OH MY GOD YE(reads rest of title) CRUD!

Kirby, devourer of worlds. As a happy meal toy. For children.

Compared to what we've seen with Pokémon in the west, would Kirby cause a similar effect?

Regardless, If I could get them, I'd get Keeby and the Mouthful Cone ones.

the only thing that the usa got was that garbage adopt me from the trash that was the new roblox: roblox used to be so much better now it just the full of toxic kid and ugly slender who want to play p--- on the ipad

come on nintendo and mcdonald's just bring kirby intro the usa

Calm down. They just need time to stitch angry eyebrows on the western versions of the plushie.

Is anyone here old enough to remember the Wendy’s promotion in ‘03?

Missed opportunity: They could have had Kirby eat the whole Happy Meal box, so he would be shaped like one - and the happy meal smile would be visible inside Kirbys mouth.
On the other hand – Nintendo might not be into mixing the two brands this much.

Cant wait for Europe to get it

<smiles in sweet denial>

@Fizza you can buy them separately

Yeah as @LadyCharlie says McDonalds is on the boycott list right now for reasons we should all know about but I’m sure NL’s comments mods will tell me off for outright saying.

But if they weren’t and this was in the UK too, I’d be trying to get the set for sure! Sadly I don’t think Kirby is as big anywhere as it is in Japan, certainly not here.

@Ogbert I find myself debating the ethics of buying these resold on ebay, tbh 😅

In Portugal we only get the Cardboard toys... and those are so terrible and end in the trash most of the times....
They should switch to these plush toys always.
(still got some from the late 90's from latinamerica... Snoopy, Lion kling, Star Wars....)

@LadyCharlie yeah… that is an interesting moral conundrum!

USA: Is it oil based? No? Yeah, never mind.

As much as I love Kirby, it's kind of annoying that the plushies are mostly the same. Not even different abilities.

Usually when I collect Happy Meal toys, I ask which ones they have on hand. With all the Kirbies being so similar that makes it hard to be specific.

"Do you have the Kirby plushie? No not that one, the one where he's winking."

oh wow. look. it's key
