Macdonald Mobile Takeout and Happy Set Challenge: Kirby



Since Yesterday, Feb


. 24, the Kirby Happy Set was sold in Japan for the first time! And today, most stores don’t have it in stock… but we found one store!

Mobile order page (English available!) https://www.mcdonalds.co.jp/en/menu/


The names are in Japanese, but the Google map would be in English.


So, you can tell which store has the goodies. Here and many stores no longer have Kirby…!

Kirby is the third most popular character among Japanese kids according to a 2023 survey, so no wonder!

No. 1 is Doraemon and 2 is Captain Pikachu from the recent anime.


If available, it looks like this!!

Just go ahead and make an order:)
This is a good way to check if a particular menu or goody is available.


Yay!!! I’ve got three happy sets!! Now, let’s open the loot!


Three types!!! Out of four.

 
From left: Puka puka floating Kirby- Sucking in a lot of air, Kirby is taking a walk in the sky as always; Wink Kirby- Kirby is happy and jolly today. Who are you winking to?; Waddle Dee- A hard worker living throughout Pu Pu Pu Land.


There are some variations. This one has long legs!!




For ages one and above. Good for kids!

Good luck!!! Those stores far from train stations usually have better chances of goods being available.


The poster!


Showcase! Pom Pom Putin is also available.


Comparison, lol.


It’s sad to see how these plushies are sold at premium prices online… if you can’t get it this time, the next ones are coming March 1, and then March 8*!! Don’t miss it!!! 
*It’s rumored that March 8 won’t happen as stocks won’t be available… so best bet is March 1!

It’s in Japanese, but the official announcement:

Also MacDonalds Japan officially apologized for insufficient stock of Kirbies. So, perhaps we can expect more if they do another Kirby collaboration. My plushy says it was made between September and December 2023, so stock will be limited for the coming ones.

Update!! Got the new Kirbies!!!






I went for the morning set on the first day! Got three types of Kirbies all together six:)

Added: Yellow Kirby, Sleepy Kirby, and Jumping Kirby!

There seemed to be plenty in the morning, but some store were already sold out in Tokyo… Good luck to all Kirby fans!


Final update: 
Ok, all Kirbies sold out!!! So fast! They’re not doing the third run. So, that was the end…

Giant Robots Yokosuka Museum Review

Image
1:1 scale Gundam drawn on the floor. This depiction was chosen deliberately as Gundam and other robots in anime are drawn in 2D, so they decided to depict some robots in full scale in a 2D format. Tetsujin28 or Gigantor when it was a Tokusatsu or live action series. Japan's mecha and giant robot anime are quite a thing. It is really popular in Japan and has caught some fandom across the globe. This exhibit in Yokohama focuses on Giant Robots that have had a central part in Japanese anime history. It starts from Tetsujin 28-go or Gigantor (1963) until early 2000's or so. The interviews at the last chapter talk about today's robots too. Gigantor was the second robot anime TV series after the popular Astroboy by Osamu Tezuka and was the first giant robot anime. Hence, it was one of the main characters for this exhibit.   This is part of the Tetsujin28 or Gigantor area, a newer adaptation of the series geared towards adult viewership. Of course, we have our beloved super robots...
