Hello Kitty has been quite the busy cat celebrating her 40th birthday. Earlier this year, she was making rounds at theatres in Japan dressed as characters from Rurouni Kenshin, and now she has crossed the ocean to make an appearance at McDonald’s in Korea. This time, she’s cosplaying as some of her fellow Sanrio mates. Check out the cute kitty after the jump!
Apparently this isn’t the first time Hello Kitty has cosplayed for McDonald’s Korea. In 2013, she did a crossover with the fast food giant and dressed up as the iconic characters of the McDonald’s gang.
▼ Hamburglar
▼ Grimace
▼ Birdie
▼ Ronald McDonald
This year, Hello Kitty is back to please her Korean fans in adorable mascot costumes of her Sanrio friends.
▼ Launched on 29 November, Hello Kitty as My Melody and Tuxedo Sam.
▼ Released on 3 December, Hello Kitty as Purin and Keroppi.
▼ Hitting stores on 7 December, Hello Kitty as Bad Badtz-Maru and Monkichi.
If you’re in Korea, now’s your chance to grab these limited edition Hello Kitty plushies while stocks last (do note that each customer can only purchase two plushies at one go). By the looks of it, these plushies are probably flying off the counters since they’re so irresistibly cute!
