Burger King Crowns Hello Kitty and Friends in a Blind-Box Kids' Meal

Burger King restaurants across the US started selling a Hello Kitty and Friends King Jr. Kids' Meal on 20 October, for a limited time and while supplies last. Each meal comes with one of six exclusive Sanrio toys sealed in a blind box, so you find out who you've got only when you open it.

The line-up named by Burger King takes in Hello Kitty, My Melody, Kuromi, Cinnamoroll and Keroppi, each wearing a Burger King crown, with some holding BK food. A limited number of golden Hello Kitty toys are mixed into the six-toy run. Burger King points fans to bk.com and its app for details on where the golden toy turns up.

The meal itself is the usual King Jr. order: 4 or 6 chicken nuggets, a hamburger or a cheeseburger, with fries or applesauce and a drink. It arrives in a Hello Kitty and Friends bag with a exclusive Hello Kitty crown, also while supplies last.

For launch week, a branch in Downey, California ran a one-day Golden Claw Machine on Friday 23 October, with a one-of-one 14K gold-plated Hello Kitty figurine as the top prize. That has now finished, but the meal toys are still in restaurants.

Burger King has not announced the meal for the UK.

Downey had the only claw machine, so everywhere else it's down to opening the box.
