Cures Wonderful, Nyammy, and more characters from the hit series are headed to McDonald’s Japan in two batches of toys.
Happy Set (Page 2)
Suntans, schoolgirls, ninja, and sushi chefs all part of 50th birthday celebration for the Sanrio star.
With three unique box designs and eight toys to collect, this is one of the cutest character collaborations we’ve ever seen!
While people in other countries are already enjoying the mobile game, Japan is celebrating the local release of the latest Pokémon movie with exclusive toys from McDonald’s.
Sure, we know we’re not supposed to play with your food, but the temptation can be great when there are gadgets around like the Direct Food Printer that lets you draw and write as you choose directly onto food. But now, for a limited time starting this week, McDonald’s Japan will be offering a new menu item that allows you to draw directly on your food using … chocolate sauce! It’s the “Oekaki Happy Hotcake” (Draw and Happy Hotcakes) set, and if you think drawing on hotcakes with chocolate sounds like fun, we completely agree! What’s even better, the set can be ordered as part of a Happy Meal that comes with a Pokémon toy — now, what kid can resist that?
