This is so weird! I mean, aside fro the fact that this IS Hello Kitty, this one has absolutely no girliness in it!

Okay, shock has passed.

This is a limited-edition item that costs ¥3,000 each (about US$26), made especially for A-nation ‘07. It’s mostly made of resin and rubber

So what exactly is “A-Nation”? I’m not that up-to-date with Jpop stuff, but from what I gather, it’s a huge tour by many popular Jpop (Japanese Pop) artists on a special stage, held for a cause. I believe it’s been held for the past several years now, and hundreds of thousands of people go to see this concert every year.

So this is basically a collaboration between 3 parties: A-nation, toy manufacturer Choro Q, and of course Sanrio~

I think blue is A-nation’s theme color, at least for this year. Btw if any of you have more info on A-nation (as my Japanese isn’t that good), I’d appreciate any help at all ^^

Click the link to read the rest of the entry, there’s another (BLUE) promo item for this event, this time with Be@rbrick!

Many of you may be familiar with Be@rbrick, and now they made a special Hello Kitty edition, as you can see on the left of the picture above ^^ The Hello Kitty one is 6.6cm in height, and the non-Hello Kitty one on the right is 7cm tall. Also made of resin ^^ This one is about US$22 each. Yikes.

Unfortunately this is again only available in Japan through the Sanrio Japan shop. Well, at least we can appreciate the… pics. Um. Sorry boys? Hahaha *don’tkillme*
