Blending the universally loved charm of Sanrio’s most famous characters with the mischievous, quirky energy of Pop Mart’s hit property THE MONSTERS, this upcoming release of vinyl plush pendant blind boxes is already shaping up to be a must-have for collectors.
The new collection transforms Sanrio’s most recognizable faces into highly detailed, 6.89-inch vinyl plush pendants that are perfectly sized for clipping onto bags, backpacks, or displaying on a shelf. The standard blind box lineup includes six beloved characters: Kuromi, Pompompurin, Hello Kitty, Pochacco, Cinnamoroll and My Melody.

As with previous high-profile Pop Mart plush drops, these pendants are crafted using a premium mix of polyester, PVC, ABS, and cotton, complete with polyester and PP particle stuffing to give them a satisfying, weighted feel. The blend of soft, huggable plush bodies with expertly sculpted vinyl faces perfectly captures the distinctive crossover aesthetic, bringing the best of both the Sanrio and Pop Mart universes to life.
Eager fans will be able to secure their items via Pop Mart’s interactive “POP NOW” platform, which allows collectors to participate in a digital unboxing experience—shaking and revealing their blind boxes online before the physical products are shipped out. Fans will not have to wait long to get their hands on this monumental crossover. “THE MONSTERS x Hello Kitty and Friends” Vinyl Plush Pendant Blind Box series is officially set to launch on the Pop Mart US website on Thursday, March 12, 2026, at 7:00 PM PST.
