The recent McDonald’s Hunter x Hunter Meal has taken the world by surprise, most likely due to the return of the manga, which comes out weekly on Shonen Jump. The collaboration features every character from the franchise and also comes with unique sauces and packaging. Unfortunately, it is only available in Taiwan for a limited time only.
Each McDonald’s Hunter x Hunter meal includes trading cards featuring all of the main characters. As well as plenty of the side and lesser-known characters. Many stores sold out of these cards on the first launch day, with an impressive 300,000 being purchased within 24 hours.
Alongside trading cards, the meals also include unique packaging. From happy meals with Gon and Killua. To brown paper bags featuring Leorio and Kurapika. Cups also go as far as to feature Netero, and one features Meruem and Komugi… Can you hear that? It’s fans all around the world crying over the Chimera Ant Arc. Characters that only made a brief appearance like some of the Chimera Ants, and the group Kurapika did his bodyguard interview with make an appearance too.
Meals also have the chance to include a deck of playing cards, clearly paying tribute to the magician himself, Hisoka. Each card features a different character. With some even having unique art, such as Gon’s rage mode.
With any type of collectable, you need a place to store them. The collaboration includes a briefcase-style bag that resembles Gon’s green outfit. Inside are card slots for all of the trading cards for you to place them in.
Will There Be More Hunter x Hunter Collabs?
After coming off hiatus for nearly 2 years, it makes sense for a large company to celebrate Hunter x Hunter’s manga return. Although disappointing that McDonald’s isn’t doing this collaboration worldwide. It does spark hope for fans across the globe that more collaborations may happen soon with the HxH IP.
Although no plans to take these meals around the rest of the world, fans can celebrate a brand-new collection of Funko Pops. Funko has recently released new figures for Silva, Kalluto, Alluka Zoldyck, Uvogin, and Ging Freecss. You can find these on the Funko website.
If you’re a Hunter x Hunter fan and need a refresher on each arc, we have a post that goes over each Hunter x Hunter Arc. If you’re in a country where the meal isn’t available, fans from all over can get excited about the upcoming game and the Hunter X Hunter Nen X Impact Playable Characters.
