Sanrio Mascots Are Asleep in New Figure Designs

Takara Tomy will release figures of Sanrio mascots that look like they’re relaxing while asleep. These will appear in gachapon machines, and it’ll cost 300 JPY ($1.90) per attempt. [Thanks, Hobby Watch!]

There are five variations of the asleep Sanrio mascots. As one might imagine, you can get mascots of the usual suspects when it comes to Sanrio toys. You have a chance of getting Hello Kitty, My Melody, Kuromi, Cinnamoroll, and Pompompurin. These figures look like they’re lying down on their stomach, with one cheek looking rounder because of the way they’re sleeping. All of them are fast asleep. Even Kuromi looks a lot softer than usual. Kuromi and My Melody are opening their mouths a little, while Cinnamoroll and Pompompurin have a cat-like smile. Hello Kitty doesn’t have a mouth at all.

Takara Tomy often releases now gachapon toys based on Sanrio mascots. These toys are usually only available via gachapon. Some previous designs from Takara Tomy include ones of the mascots hugging a plush version of themselves, ones of the mascots looking like sushi, and ones of the mascots running late for school. All of these gachapon machines cost 300 JPY per attempt.

The asleep Sanrio mascots will appear in Takara Tomy gachapon machines in Japan some time in mid-January 2025.
