Hello Kitty official goods to be sold at Comiket
Hello Kitty goods featuring art from OKAMA, POP and Kuroboshi Kouhaku are going to be sold in the industry section at the coming Comic Market. Being sold at the industry section means they are all official products with the Sanrio copyright mark on them.
Their comiket special set includes a cellphone cleaner (Kuroboshi Kouhaku ver.), a mini towel (OKAMA ver.), clear files by Kuroboshi Kouhaku and POP, and a hand towel (POP ver.) for only 2000 yen.
T-shirts and tote bags featuring art from the three artists mentioned will also be sold at the event.
Sanrio has lost their mind and we’re all doomed.

Wow, bandwidth overload from Zepy’s link??
As a big Sanrio fan, I love this!! But to be honest, while the illustrations are great and I love them.. for t-shirts, bags, etc, regular Sanrio art is a lot more suitable. I would rather have these in a comic or an art book… Art book would be amazing, to see many artist’s interpretations of Sanrio characters. I want Rokku to do Cinnamon!! Actually, I get the impression Cinnamon is the most popular with otaku out of the Sanrio characters… Hope he is included eventually since he’s my favorite as well.

Fa*tastic… Now, why don’t Fujiko Pro ask T2/Urushihara Satoshi do the art for Doraemon merchandise?

My lord, those are literally my three favourite artists. What the hell?
And since when did Kuroboshi Kouhaku officially become a go-to guy for moe?

Fucking otaku. They’ll buy anything and companies know it.

I thought Hello Kitty is mouthless?

I’m thinking an otaku has finally gotten into Sanrio’s decision making body.

>What’s a clear file?
They’re those plastic files that have illustrations on them and kinda transparent
July 29th, 2009 at 12:48 pm
Oh, hell yes. POP art is appreciated!

Oh, I thought clear files were memory cards containing “clear data” files, like the save games at the end of Xenosaga Episode I.
