The reason why so many cursed Sanrio merch exists is because Sanrio is one of the most easy IP to license from what I heard, you could literally just contact them as a small-scale studio/company or even individual, if you have the money and infrastructure to make a product that's not "too over", they will say yes to the deal. Combine that with the need to stand out from the sea of indifferent Sanrio merch, you will get the goofy ahh items
The most cursed thing related to hello kitty is learning that she's not suppose to be a cat but is actually supposed to be a 3 year old human girl wearing a cat costume
“All the while Hello Kitty remained as the most popular [Sanrio character]” fun fact actually, according to official Sanrio Japanese polls, Cinnamoroll made #1 the last 4 years in a row (and a few before that), with HK not even reaching top 3 usually. Seems like she hasn’t really been super popular since pre-2010s but Sanrio seems to use her as the most common mascot.
The Hello Kitty plush with the very long limbs are from Stretchkins! It was a plush line that allowed you to strap the feet and hands of the plush to your own. Their limbs were elastic and allowed you to do jumping jacks and dances. From what I remember, each of them came with a DVD of different exercise routines. I still own my elephant Stretchkin from when I was a kid :)
Oh wow I put a comment in the regular section about an add I saw way back about dancing with "stretchy life size characters! " so this is rlly helpful thank you!!
In Mexico there have been a series of Hello Kitty colaborations with a specific period pads brand over the years (probably more than a decade by now); it's kinda cute how they decorate the pads envelopes with all sorts of hello kitty themed patterns. I believe there were also some Aggretsuko, Gudetama and other Sanrio characters editions. Sometimes the pads come in bigger boxes that would include a little prize according to the current pad theme. Which vary to litterally anything, from coffe mugs to boxes to store the pads and the list goes on. I think it's pretty fun!
The experience of watching this video is like listening to your neurodivergent friend info dump about their special interest. They're so excited to tell you about all the Hello Kitty merch they researched, and you were actually supposed to leave ten minutes ago, but they're so happy you don't have the heart to stop them
speaking of infodumping i cant wait untill this person just releases straightup a 2 hour long infodump about the most random cool shit its inevitable its gotta be
@pearlscent Neurodivergent doesn't just mean autistic. It's an umbrella term that also includes ADHD, OCD and a bunch of other conditions that affect how you think or function. Infodumping isn't exclusive to neurodivergent people either. That being said, if you feel like it resonates with you and you want to look into it more, go for it! I think a lot of people exist under the neurodivergent umbrella without realizing it, and even if you aren't struggling, it can be comforting to have a name to put to certain feelings.
I will always have a bit of a soft spot for Sanrio characters. The cursed products I feel add to their charm and make me love them all that much more! Thanks for covering some of them!! I now have some random items to send my friends, lol.
Edit: I found it! It's called Hello Kitty Hello Everything and was a celebration of Hello Kitty's first 25 years. It came out in 2001, I was born in late 1998 so the time lines up that I would only be looking at pictures. The cover is a collage of different products from a bumper car to a guitar to a keychain. It features even crazier stuff like a car and there's a page for the video game stuff like the Dreamcast and little Game and Watch-like games. Also a phone where her head is connected to the receiver so you decapitate her to make calls. I don't know if I still have the book myself (probably not) but there's even a page through of it on TH-cam. I'm looking at it now and being hit with nostalgia for stuff I can't believe I forgot like the Hello Kitty dollhouse set where the characters look like erasers and the mermaid Kitty. I wanted both of those so bad as a child. Looking through now I don't see the ring I thought I remembered, but it's so nice to have a name to the book now. I used to have a book that was pretty much an encyclopedia for all sorts of Hello Kitty products, I looked through it all the time since I was a huge Hello Kitty fan but this was before I could even read so I don't remember it super well. It actually helped teach me how to recognize dates and years. I remember wanting the Hello Kitty toaster and for my parents to buy me what looking back now must have been a solid gold ring with a Hello Kitty-shaped diamond in it. I doubt we still have it, but I might look around online to just try to figure out what the hell that book was even supposed to be for.
@@ScuttleBugReal That's a good idea, but I remember it being pretty big and hardcover. I think my grandparents might have gotten it for me when I was a toddler. A lot of the stuff I imagine wasn't even commercially available, like the ring which if it was as fancy as I think it was would probably be one of only a few. If I had to guess it was a celebration of Hello Kitty through the years, I've been looking around online for it but haven't found anything yet but I intend to keep looking because now it's bugging me.
I went to a hello kitty exhibit quite a few years ago with my mom (She’s a a HUGE fan) and the only thing I remember from that was a Hello Kitty Headstone…. We had an almost full Hello Kitty kitchen at one point. Talking microwave, toaster, waffle maker, coffee machine, milkshake maker, cookie jars, plates, cups. My mom also has a Hello Kitty Christmas tree she’s been setting up for the last few years. Oh I also had the tv with flowers one it! I honestly really miss it, we also had this shower curtain for YEARS and she took it down when my brother got older :/
As a big fan of hello kitty, I want to add a couple of things like the hello kitty sanitary napkins that come with a gift bottle. I have a plushie that can talk and... breathe if you press it. Also, there is a store in my town FULL of Hello Kitty calculators, I love this video, sorry for the bad English, I use the translator.
i've been using one of the hello kitty toasters for 7 years and it's still in super good shape. it doesn't really toast her face onto it anymore though, but it still toasts bread very nicely
There's a few different Hello Kitty sewing machines out there. Notably, there's a blue-green one by Janome called "Sewing Pretty with Hello Kitty" that's very popular right now among the lolita fashion community (for those unfamiliar, an alternative fashion from Japan that takes inspiration from things like rococo, vintage dolls, princesses, etc). I've been told it's actually a pretty good machine, albeit a bit small. Personally, I believe that sewing pretty with Hello Kitty is not a product but rather a state of being, so I just put a bunch of the Hello Kitty x Pusheen stickers on my otherwise normal sewing machine (whose name is Kevin).
I was born in 1974, so Hello Kitty has been a part of my whole life; and I have always loved it so much. Admittedly ChocoCat is my actual favorite Sanrio character, but Hello Kitty is my second favorite. I have a Nintendo DS that is fully tripped out with the Hello Kitty gear. One of the physician's assistants at my pain management doctor has an office that is entirely done in pink Hello Kitty gear and decorations. I love that you can be an adult, professional; and it is totally okay to have Hello Kitty and other Sanrio characters on your work attire and office. I didn't know about the Hello Kitty/ One Piece crossover, and I'm going to have to check into that. Hello Kitty and Chopper and easily a perfect crossover combination, and I am going to have to find something with them on it. I can always find a use for more pouches, and Sanrio is my favorite theme for them. ^_^ I always thought that the weirdest and most problematic Hello Kitty product was the fact that they released an officially licensed Hello Kitty vibrator. Sanrio has said that it was intended for things like massaging your sore neck, but it is clearly shaped for other purposes (but technically you could use it on your neck, so they aren't lying....).
@the I believe that they called it a "shoulder massager", but it's shaped exactly like what you'd think it would be shaped like, with poor Hello Kitty as the handle. Poor Hello Kitty.
Honestly in the food section you should have had the Hello Kitty wine. There are several different versions of it, sparkling rose and Cabernet included. All the products you showed seemed for children but that one shows that there are very much adult fans too.
There are tons of adult fans. 😊 When the Hello Kitty cafe truck comes to Atlanta, the line for it starts a couple hours early and the line wraps around the block. That line is full of all ages but mainly college age and up and they’re buying for themselves. I’m mad because they released a new glass Hello Kitty icons mug after leaving my city and I wasn’t able to buy it this year. 😢
I'm 100% convinced that Long Hello Kitty is some kind of SCP. Imagine waking up one night to strange, raspy breathing and seeing that looming over the foot of your bed.
This has been happening to many people over the past few months. The only reason it keeps happening is that everyone passes it off as just sleep paralysis. I wake up in the middle of the night for seemingly no reason. I've been waiting for this. No one has been able to properly see the creature, as it has always disappeared by the time they turn any lights on. I see it. The long arms of the tall monster at the end of my bed. I reach for the flashlight I left on my bedside table, and point it at the raspy monster. As I look up the body I see the long legs run up and up, as the arms follow with it. The torso is quite small for the creature, and it wears strange red trousers. As I go up to the face and head, it blocks the light from it's eyes, screeching loudly. As it's eyes adjust to the lights, it uncovers it's face, letting it's lanky limbs down. I see it's true identity. The red Bow on its head, the cat ears atop, and... It's just Hello Kitty?
Hi polygen! The long hello kitty (as weird as it is), is actually from the toy brand Stretchkins, these wacky plushies were originally given extra long limbs with built in elastic to give them that extra stretch, hope this helps!
this reminded me of a add I saw way back and it was "life size characters " that you could dance with. If you look at the pushes feet in a couple pictures it looks like she has straps on her feet so it might be one of those life size dance characters 🤷🏻♀️ is it maybe the same product?
@@imaginefun13 yeah, the point of it is you're supposed to wear it and then do dances and jumping jacks n stuff like that with it, it's weird but i think it's cute they made something to get kids to like exercising
Fun fact: Hello kitty is a teenage girl who lives in the London suburbs with a twin sister, pet cat, and boyfriend, her legal name is also Kitty White.
i had the uncomfortable hello kitty mouse (9:29) when i was little and it was definitely not swag to use . made me popular in grade school though so thats a plus
Duck is the common name for numerous species of waterfowl in the family Anatidae. Ducks are generally smaller and shorter-necked than swans and geese, which are members of the same family. Divided among several subfamilies, they are a form taxon; they do not represent a monophyletic group (the group of all descendants of a single common ancestral species), since swans and geese are not considered ducks. Ducks are mostly aquatic birds, and may be found in both fresh water and sea water.
I think the KFC-Hello Kitty Christmas thing comes from the fact KFC has been a big thing around Christmas time in Japan for years, so adding a beloved cartoon cat into the mix would probably be pretty successful
Yeah! From what I understand it's more of a romantic holiday too, vs a kid focused one so if your partner was super into sanrio this is like one of the cutest ways of showing them you care :D
A former roommate of mine was super SUPER into Hello Kitty/Sanrio and actually got her hands on some of the kitchen appliances because she worked at Target and there was a brief period of time where they were being sold there. I know for sure she had the white and pink rounded toaster, the *microwave* (wtf why), the waffle maker and I think there was a little water dispenser, too. It was wild to see them in action. They worked well enough but no better than something that was probably half the price. Also the microwave was *tiny*. Most standard plates couldn't fit inside it.
my dad actually bought me the hello kitty bow mouse a few years back, originally i had no idea how i was realistically supposed to use it but weirdly enough, it gets pretty comfortable after using it for awhile
7:24 it’s a from a group of different plushies, that you could put your hand and feets through straps on the characters hands and feet, except because hello kitty’s limbs are usually visualized at stubby, they had to make the arms and legs long for it too work
I had these horrifying soap bottles back in the day. Hello Kittys body was the actual bottle and her head was just a cheap plastic 'shell' on top of it. So in order to get any product, you always had to decapitate her!
Now it's time to info dump some random hello kitty items I think are cool. There was a child's play or "bride of Chucky" and "seed of Chucky" Collab. There some keychains, pins and most importantly two packs of plushies, there's a hello kitty themed Chucky, glen/Glenda, and Tiffany. The three pack is surprisingly rare while the two pack is more common. Some parts may be incorrect lol. Thanks for reading also, I love your nails polygon!
10:26 I actually have the first Hello Kitty toaster listed, It's old and I think it was from 2013-2016 when we got it. We still use it because I like the texture combination of raw and crunchy.
Its crazy how this simple little character goes from on a coin purse to literally on every product you can think of, I honestly wouldn't be surprised if a hello kitty dildo existed.
7:12 i have a vauge memory of owning one of these, i think you were supposed to use the elastic to attach it to your hands and feet and puppeteer(?) it
I don’t know how hard this would be but would you consider doing this with Pokémon or Mario? There’s a lot of really rare strange Pokémon merch and Mario products are just insanely cursed.
The Hello Kitty garden spinner is definitely something you’d see in an Urbex video like 50-100+ years in the future. It just looks so dystopian and disjointed all on its own. I love those things and it weirds me out
I recently bought a small, hello kitty shaped cast iron frying pan. It's suprisingly high quality and really cute! It's even got indents so if you made pancakes in it you could have one side match the shape of her face! I always loved Hello Kitty as a little kid so seeing these kinds of things make me pretty happy.
I'm not sure if anyone else has said this, but the long Hello Kitty at 7:13 is a Hello Kitty Stretchkin! Stretchkins were made to encourage kids to exercise/make it fun by putting your hands and feet through the elastic bands. I actually have a unicorn one :)
I just found your channel today because of this video being suggested to me, and it scratched my brain in a good way and i’ve watched a few more of your videos and they also scratched my brain so i’ve decided this is one of my favorite channels now
I have the Hello Kitty humidifier, and it works just great. But Sanrio does have two absolutely fantastic products - the Hello Kitty Band-Aids are the world's best, and I have a Little Twin Stars calculator that works like a dream. Thanks so much for this fun video! 🌸✨
As both a fan of Hello Kitty and Pringles, those plushies are my dream 💪 In general most of Hello Kitty (or Sanrio on general) products are amazing... I love them ✨
its kind of funny that i was searching for a murder case of mermaid hello kitty squishy but found a history book of it. well basically In that case The Girl Whose Chopped Up Body Was Found Inside Mermaid Doll in hong kong
I just got a new Kuromi pop figure today so I guess this is oddly good timing for this video to upload. 9:25 Also I had that specific hello kitty mouse, found it at a random charity store and thought it would work but didn't, I have no idea where that thing is now tbh.
8:21, imagine if the situation was flipped lol. You just wanna buy a TV and next thing you know a package arrives at your door. Opening it, you now suddenly have this bright pink hello kitty Xbox in your possession.
4:40 This slew me. I was like "Why would you turn ANY cat into a burger, let alone one so cute?!". It was even sillier when I remembered they're plushies; You can't eat that burger! I guess maybe if you have to show it & think having a plushie of a burger is less embarassing than of Hello Kitty? Anyway, neat video! Thanks for uploading!
I own one of the long hello kitty plushes, she was marketed as a work out buddy where a child puts their hands and feet into the hand and feet straps on her and they do stretches together. doesnt make it less weird
One thing I've noticed about both these videos is that many of the products just use the characters as advertisements and have absolutely nothing to do with them
9:18 I vividly remember having one of the water mouses. :0 I used to be obsessed with Hello Kitty and pretty much had everything themed around it in my grandma’s house. I had Hello Kitty rugs, bedsheets, walls, toys, clothes, shoes, ect. I even had a Hello Kitty laptop. I had maybe a 100+ Hello Kitty plushy collection
One of the best hello kitty merchandise is the spicy hello kitty ramen, it’s delicious. The texture is so soft and yummy same with the flavor. (U can get it at box lunch)
I actually know what the long Hello Kitty is! For a while it was somewhat common to see plush with long limbs and elastic straps on the feet so that you could slip your feet in the straps, hold their hands, and "dance" with them! I had one that looked like a rabbit growing up, lol.
I just came here after learning about the hello kitty murder and it breaks my heart to kn how sanrio just wants to sell such a cute n innocent product to the point of trying to focus on nothing but cute, and works hard enough not sell rip off quality products, but out of a trillion products, one was used for a heinous and disgusting act by hiding the head of a woman in a room full of hello kitty plushes, even though she was dead, her ghost was leaving hello kitty plushes in a salon after the owners kept closing up shop
The reason why so many cursed Sanrio merch exists is because Sanrio is one of the most easy IP to license from what I heard, you could literally just contact them as a small-scale studio/company or even individual, if you have the money and infrastructure to make a product that's not "too over", they will say yes to the deal.
Combine that with the need to stand out from the sea of indifferent Sanrio merch, you will get the goofy ahh items

@@EmiL_from_NieR I bought that bottle too along with some mochi (not Hello Kitty themed sadly) and it was delicious
HOLD ON, THAT EXISTS?!
i had the hello kitty sake. it was not good hdjfnh
I'm 100% convinced that Long Hello Kitty is some kind of SCP. Imagine waking up one night to strange, raspy breathing and seeing that looming over the foot of your bed.
This has been happening to many people over the past few months. The only reason it keeps happening is that everyone passes it off as just sleep paralysis. I wake up in the middle of the night for seemingly no reason. I've been waiting for this. No one has been able to properly see the creature, as it has always disappeared by the time they turn any lights on. I see it. The long arms of the tall monster at the end of my bed. I reach for the flashlight I left on my bedside table, and point it at the raspy monster. As I look up the body I see the long legs run up and up, as the arms follow with it. The torso is quite small for the creature, and it wears strange red trousers. As I go up to the face and head, it blocks the light from it's eyes, screeching loudly. As it's eyes adjust to the lights, it uncovers it's face, letting it's lanky limbs down. I see it's true identity. The red Bow on its head, the cat ears atop, and... It's just Hello Kitty?
Why? Hello kitty is cute
@@Wilson-obrien I wholeheartedly agree... except that one
@@Kalvinjj thats understandable lol
Hi polygen! The long hello kitty (as weird as it is), is actually from the toy brand Stretchkins, these wacky plushies were originally given extra long limbs with built in elastic to give them that extra stretch, hope this helps!
i feel like i've seen your profile picture on at least 3 other accounts
this reminded me of a add I saw way back and it was "life size characters " that you could dance with. If you look at the pushes feet in a couple pictures it looks like she has straps on her feet so it might be one of those life size dance characters 🤷🏻♀️ is it maybe the same product?
I was thinking the straps on the feet meant a kid was supposed to wear it 😳
@@imaginefun13 yeah, the point of it is you're supposed to wear it and then do dances and jumping jacks n stuff like that with it, it's weird but i think it's cute they made something to get kids to like exercising
I had a sponge bob one :)
Fun fact: Hello kitty is a teenage girl who lives in the London suburbs with a twin sister, pet cat, and boyfriend, her legal name is also Kitty White.

Duck is the common name for numerous species of waterfowl in the family Anatidae. Ducks are generally smaller and shorter-necked than swans and geese, which are members of the same family. Divided among several subfamilies, they are a form taxon; they do not represent a monophyletic group (the group of all descendants of a single common ancestral species), since swans and geese are not considered ducks. Ducks are mostly aquatic birds, and may be found in both fresh water and sea water.

I think the KFC-Hello Kitty Christmas thing comes from the fact KFC has been a big thing around Christmas time in Japan for years, so adding a beloved cartoon cat into the mix would probably be pretty successful
Yeah! From what I understand it's more of a romantic holiday too, vs a kid focused one so if your partner was super into sanrio this is like one of the cutest ways of showing them you care :D
10:51 i Died efter he said that it's soooo hilarious after tried to voiced as a narrator in hello kitty

A former roommate of mine was super SUPER into Hello Kitty/Sanrio and actually got her hands on some of the kitchen appliances because she worked at Target and there was a brief period of time where they were being sold there. I know for sure she had the white and pink rounded toaster, the *microwave* (wtf why), the waffle maker and I think there was a little water dispenser, too. It was wild to see them in action. They worked well enough but no better than something that was probably half the price. Also the microwave was *tiny*. Most standard plates couldn't fit inside it.
Ima need to steal your roommate from you. I spent over a thousand dollars on Sanrio products! We would be unstoppable!
@@sanrioandgraves8234 SAMEEEE I literally have the whole collection of Sanrio plushes :]
Jokes on you, I’m just using this video as a shopping list. Thanks for doing all the work for me
if you're shopping for a keyboard definitely go for the akko ones. I got an akko keyboard (a non sanrio pink one) and it's pretty good.

my dad actually bought me the hello kitty bow mouse a few years back, originally i had no idea how i was realistically supposed to use it but weirdly enough, it gets pretty comfortable after using it for awhile
How has Hello Kitty not taken over the world yet? We will never know.

*Just imagine this thing, slowly climbing from under your bed.*

Kirby meated bone :D
And some emoji skins (depends on the device)

7:24 it’s a from a group of different plushies, that you could put your hand and feets through straps on the characters hands and feet, except because hello kitty’s limbs are usually visualized at stubby, they had to make the arms and legs long for it too work
I had these horrifying soap bottles back in the day. Hello Kittys body was the actual bottle and her head was just a cheap plastic 'shell' on top of it. So in order to get any product, you always had to decapitate her!
5:26 the fact i was eating pringles watching this💀
do you still have some?

you should make a “in a nutshell” of Cytus II
Now it's time to info dump some random hello kitty items I think are cool. There was a child's play or "bride of Chucky" and "seed of Chucky" Collab. There some keychains, pins and most importantly two packs of plushies, there's a hello kitty themed Chucky, glen/Glenda, and Tiffany. The three pack is surprisingly rare while the two pack is more common. Some parts may be incorrect lol.
Thanks for reading also, I love your nails polygon!

I actually have the first Hello Kitty toaster listed, It's old and I think it was from 2013-2016 when we got it. We still use it because I like the texture combination of raw and crunchy.
Its crazy how this simple little character goes from on a coin purse to literally on every product you can think of, I honestly wouldn't be surprised if a hello kitty dildo existed.
So proud of how far hello kitty has come, I've always been a fan of her for so long💕🙏

i have a vauge memory of owning one of these, i think you were supposed to use the elastic to attach it to your hands and feet and puppeteer(?) it

I don’t know how hard this would be but would you consider doing this with Pokémon or Mario? There’s a lot of really rare strange Pokémon merch and Mario products are just insanely cursed.

The Hello Kitty garden spinner is definitely something you’d see in an Urbex video like 50-100+ years in the future. It just looks so dystopian and disjointed all on its own. I love those things and it weirds me out
most stuff just scared me in this vid, i don't wanna talk abt the amount of stuff that gave me goosebumps, maybe even nightmares...

I recently bought a small, hello kitty shaped cast iron frying pan. It's suprisingly high quality and really cute! It's even got indents so if you made pancakes in it you could have one side match the shape of her face! I always loved Hello Kitty as a little kid so seeing these kinds of things make me pretty happy.
I'm not sure if anyone else has said this, but the long Hello Kitty at 7:13 is a Hello Kitty Stretchkin! Stretchkins were made to encourage kids to exercise/make it fun by putting your hands and feet through the elastic bands. I actually have a unicorn one :)
“Literally every brand in existence will have a hello kitty product” crypton

I have the Hello Kitty humidifier, and it works just great. But Sanrio does have two absolutely fantastic products - the Hello Kitty Band-Aids are the world's best, and I have a Little Twin Stars calculator that works like a dream. Thanks so much for this fun video! 🌸✨
you never fail to creep me out with these videos please make more
5:37 “I’m dying for PRINGLES” got me rolling all the way to another galaxy
There’s a bunch of wacky weird Mario stuff. Like a toothbrush, a charger straightener and more on the wacky road of Mario toys!

11:00 HOLY SHIT I REMEMBER HAVING THE CALCULATOR ON THE VERY LEFT
You just brought back some memories
its kind of funny that i was searching for a murder case of mermaid hello kitty squishy but found a history book of it.
well basically In that case The Girl Whose Chopped Up Body Was Found Inside Mermaid Doll in hong kong
I just got a new Kuromi pop figure today so I guess this is oddly good timing for this video to upload.
9:25 Also I had that specific hello kitty mouse, found it at a random charity store and thought it would work but didn't, I have no idea where that thing is now tbh.
Lmao thats cool
@@PolygonDonut yuh it was very cool
8:21, imagine if the situation was flipped lol. You just wanna buy a TV and next thing you know a package arrives at your door. Opening it, you now suddenly have this bright pink hello kitty Xbox in your possession.

4:40 This slew me. I was like "Why would you turn ANY cat into a burger, let alone one so cute?!". It was even sillier when I remembered they're plushies; You can't eat that burger! I guess maybe if you have to show it & think having a plushie of a burger is less embarassing than of Hello Kitty?
Anyway, neat video! Thanks for uploading!
I'm loving this series! I would like to see a whole video dedicated to garfield products, it would be very interesting :D
I own one of the long hello kitty plushes, she was marketed as a work out buddy where a child puts their hands and feet into the hand and feet straps on her and they do stretches together. doesnt make it less weird
Now that this is a series, there NEEDS to be a garfield episode
One thing I've noticed about both these videos is that many of the products just use the characters as advertisements and have absolutely nothing to do with them
Yup
@@PolygonDonut thank you for the heart and reply, I love your content!
9:18 I vividly remember having one of the water mouses. :0 I used to be obsessed with Hello Kitty and pretty much had everything themed around it in my grandma’s house. I had Hello Kitty rugs, bedsheets, walls, toys, clothes, shoes, ect. I even had a Hello Kitty laptop. I had maybe a 100+ Hello Kitty plushy collection

One of the best hello kitty merchandise is the spicy hello kitty ramen, it’s delicious. The texture is so soft and yummy same with the flavor. (U can get it at box lunch)
No matter what any hello kitty or sanrio related thing looks like scary or cute, I will buy it
6:11 this reminds me hello kitty has colabed so much that she's even colabed with show by rock A SANRIO FRANCHISE
I actually know what the long Hello Kitty is! For a while it was somewhat common to see plush with long limbs and elastic straps on the feet so that you could slip your feet in the straps, hold their hands, and "dance" with them! I had one that looked like a rabbit growing up, lol.
I just came here after learning about the hello kitty murder and it breaks my heart to kn how sanrio just wants to sell such a cute n innocent product to the point of trying to focus on nothing but cute, and works hard enough not sell rip off quality products, but out of a trillion products, one was used for a heinous and disgusting act by hiding the head of a woman in a room full of hello kitty plushes, even though she was dead, her ghost was leaving hello kitty plushes in a salon after the owners kept closing up shop
