Urban Outfitters x Hello Kitty Blindbox Vinyl Figures Series 1

Urban Outfitters and Sanrio have put together limited edition vinyl figurines. The designs range from cute to abstract.


The items come blind-boxed meaning you can’t tell which of the figurines you’re going to get. They’ve promoted this as being really exciting and fun, but I actually find it rather annoying. It kind of reminds me of buying a pack of hockey cards and not knowing what you’re going to get so you have to buy more and more until you get the ones you want.

When you thought she just couldn't get any cuter. Limited edition Sanrio series of collectible Hello Kitty vinyl figures come in 12 designs, including a woodgrain Kitty and an ice cream cone Kitty. Collect them all! Imported. Wipe clean.

    Hello Kitty X McDonald's Colors of Summer 2008 Messenger


    In summer 2008, McDonald’s introduced summer desserts – some new and some old favourites – along with a set of Hello Kitty premiums under the “Hello Kitty Messenger” theme.
    16 unique ‘Hello Kitty Messenger’ plush toys were released with 5 special summer desserts and a limited offer collector’s kit.
    To boost the evening traffic of McDonald’s’ 24 hours business, a special edition plush toy, Black Wonder Kitty, was made available only after 9pm.







    Promotion Tools
    To capture the target demographics, both above- and below-the-line promotion efforts were employed.  The campaign used a 360° media approach, traditional and new, from print, electronic, online and mobile.
    To increase the campaign’s engagement level, a virtual Hello Kitty Live Messenger on MSN was released; a first in Hong Kong. Different Hello Kitty Messengers were displayed in the MSN Live Messenger picture box, and they would ask questions. Those who could answer the questions correctly were given unique emoticons as rewards.

    Overall Performance
    Over the 6 weeks of the campaign, sales records surpassed all previous summers, with a 14.2% increase in incremental sales and a 12.4% increase in guest count.
    All Hello Kitty Messengers were sold out.  Black Wonder Kitty sold out half way through the first week of the promotion, and the Collector’s Kits were sold out by Week 2. 65,000 users added Hello Kitty to their MSN contact lists, and had exchanged 70 million messages with her.

    Hello Kitty guns

    Because nothing shows the true cuteness and sweet side of Hello Kitty — and the love and happiness she brings to all — as 50,000 volts of electricity streaming through your body:
    Of course, the existence of a Hello Kitty taser gun shouldn’t come as a surprise at all considering all the Hello Kitty guns already out there. And if the Hello Kitty taser were used properly (as in Hello Kitty fanatics self-tasering themselves every time the thought of purchasing something Hello Kitty entered their mind), it really could be a benefit for society. Alas, I fear that if my wife ever gets one of these, the only use for it will come right before I get sent to the couch in the Hello Kitty sleeping bag. The fact that Hello Kitty Hell can always get worse is once again shown to be true…
    Sent in by Chrissey who should use this device on herself multiple times as punishment for thinking that sending it to me could ever be a good idea.
