Chiikawa wearing My Melody’s hood. Momonga getting a Kuromi makeover. Usagi channelling Pompompurin. This crossover is going to make choosing a favourite very difficult.
The Chiikawa × Sanrio Characters Kiramekko Plush Mascot Keychain collection brings two much-loved character worlds together in a seriously cute costume swap. With fluffy outfits, sparkling eyes and expressive vinyl faces, these little companions have plenty of personality packed into their pint-sized forms.
The collection features six character pairings, listed on Sanrio’s official online store at US$29.99 each.
Six designs to tempt collectors
The line-up pairs familiar Chiikawa faces with some of Sanrio’s biggest favourites:
Chiikawa × My Melody
Hachiware × Hello Kitty
Usagi × Pompompurin
Momonga × Kuromi
Furuhonya × Cinnamoroll
Kurimanju × Hangyodon
Whether your weakness is My Melody’s sweetness, Kuromi’s cheeky charm or Pompompurin’s cosy appeal, there is a pairing here ready to compete for a spot on your bag.
Fluffy outfits and faces full of character
The combination of soft plush costumes and vinyl faces gives these mascots their distinctive look. Those sparkling eyes add an extra dose of charm, making them just as tempting for display as they are for carrying around.
For a closer look at the details, the Chiikawa × My Melody version measures approximately six inches and features a plush hood, vinyl accents, embroidered and appliqué details, plus a push clasp closure for attaching it to a bag. The product listing also states a limit of two per order.
Clip one onto your everyday tote, give your backpack a little personality, or let your favourite take pride of place on your collectibles shelf.
How Singapore fans can get their hands on it
The collection is listed on Sanrio’s official online store, although Sanrio.com does not currently ship directly to Singapore.
Singapore shoppers can consider freight forwarding services such as vPost. These services provide a personalised US delivery address for overseas purchases, then forward the parcel to your Singapore address. Factor in additional forwarding charges and applicable taxes when working out the total cost.
Now comes the real challenge: picking which little costume-clad companion gets to come home.
