The new MGA’s Miniverse Make It Mini Food Hello Kitty® line is a blind-packaged capsule that reveals hyper realistic, miniature Hello Kitty signature supercute-themed foods to make, set, display, and collect.

“MGA’s Miniverse is excited to reveal our collaboration with Sanrio ahead of the holiday gift giving season,” said Isaac Larian, Founder and CEO of MGA Entertainment. “Our Make It Mini collections are ever-growing with new licensor partnerships, and this is the cutest one yet.

Continuing the celebration of Hello Kitty’s exciting 50^th anniversary this year, MGA’s Miniverse Make It Mini Food Hello Kitty Cafe consists of 12 different faux-food and drink items to make your own mini replicas, including a Hello Kitty themed bento box, fruit boba tea, and even instant spicy noodles, all in the likeness of the beloved icon.

Each blind-packaged capsule is a surprise until it’s unboxed. A small recipe card is included so users can follow along for a hands-on DIY activity. Once finished, users will set their creation in sunlight or UV light to harden for permanent display. Each capsule turns into a Hello Kitty display case with an on-theme mini table, perfect for showcasing your creation as a novelty collectible.
