Now on Amazon UK
Good news for UK collectors: three of the four Hyojo Hello Kitty and Friends plush pendants are now on Amazon UK at £14.99 each, so you can skip the US shipping and VAT on these three. They are showing a delivery window from early August, so it is worth ordering ahead rather than expecting next day.
- Kuromi, Cinnamoroll and Pochacco (I’d grab this one first, it has the two most wanted characters in the line)
- Chococat, Hello Kitty and My Melody
- Keroppi, Hello Kitty and Badtz-Maru (later delivery on this one, into late August)
The fourth box, Hello Kitty, Kuromi and Pompompurin, has not reached Amazon UK yet, so that one is still US only for now. You will find it in the US line-up below.
On Amazon US (ships to the UK)
Amazon US has the new Hyojo Sanrio blind boxes available to order. They ship to the UK and US, and hopefully other countries too.
There are four different blind boxes in the series, and each one has 3 options, so that makes it a little easier to get your targets. There are some repeated characters too, but they have different outfits. All are plush pendants.
The first in the Hyojo Sanrio series is Hello Kitty, Kuromi, Pompompurin…
The next blind box has a choice of Kuromi, Cinamoroll, and Pochacco…
The third is Keroppi, HK, and Bad Badtz Maru (this is the one I’m targeting… I need them all)
And the last set is Chococat, HK in her traditional blue and red, plus My Melody.
Can we take a moment to appreciate the fact that Chococat AND Badtz Maru are in this series? would have liked to have seen Hangyodon and Tuxedo Sam in there, but at least my main squeeze Badtz Maru made it into the line-up.
The Hyojo Hello Kitty and Friends series costs $12.99 on Amazon (which is crazy cheap – Hyojos are seriously well made.)
These links should work for UK customers as well. There are no import fees for the UK, but you will need to pay VAT and shipping at checkout, so they work out at about £16-19 each. It’s cheaper to buy more than one.
If Sanrio is not your bag, I HIGHLY recommend the Krispy Kreme Doughnut Hyojos… they are just beautiful, heavy, detailed, and BIG!
