At Sanrio, there is a sort of “operation nostalgia”. The first was My Melody, pulled out of oblivion with her new frenemy Kuromi. Then it was the turn of Little Twin Stars, a bit neglected and now back to being probably the most popular Sanrio characters after Hello Kitty. The kitten herself has undergone this vintage influence: for her 35th anniversary, in fact, she had a facelift that has brought her back to 1974 features.
The last is Pompompurin (called in Casa Kawaii, Porompompin), the dog who loves pudding. Actually, Purin is a relatively new character, having been born in 1996, but in recent years had been a little behind the lines, appearing only sporadically in some collective line (the special ones with various characters)… or in Puroland as a big doll! Now, Pompompurin is back in business with a new collection of accessories, which will be released in Japanese stores today!
And you, which vintage or neglected character would you like see back in the spotlight?
