Year: 2016

Sonic the Hedgehog x Sanrio crossover! Here’s Hello Kitty as Sonic the Hedgehog. This collaboration started in Japan years earlier, but the version I have was from the North American release in 2016 by Toynami. These released in both 6 and 10 inch versions, and the ones I have are the 10 inch ones. There’s also a rare Super Sonic… er, “Golden Sonic” variant, but sadly, I don’t have that one (I believe it was a Comic Con exclusive and limited to 1000 units) and a shiny blue variant (which I believe was another Comic Con exclusive the following year). I like this set because it features a variety of Sanrio characters and not just Hello Kitty dressing up as everyone as with some other crossover series.

Again, this is the North American version released by Toynami in 2016. There’s are similar-looking (but likely higher quality) Japanese prize plushes that were released in 2012 and 2021, and I believe these were just Hello Kitty as Sonic and none of the other characters.
