Gashapon Online will start selling a new series of Cardcaptor Sakura and Sanrio mascot figures from November 21, 2023. In total, there are ten to collect. [Thanks, Dengeki Hobby!]
There are two collections that are part of this collaboration. They are the Kirakira Perfume Versions and the Sakura Collection. The Sakura Collection features four miniature Sakura figures wearing outfits that look like a combination of clothing she wore from the Cardcaptor Sakura show, but with a Sanrio twist. For example, one of the outfits looks like the black-and-pink cat-themed costume she wore while fighting The Thunder. However, the ears look like Kuromi’s. Other outfits take inspiration from My Melody, Pompompurin, and Cinnamoroll.
The Kirakira Perfume collection has five figures of Sanrio mascots—Hello Kitty, My Melody, Kuromi, Pompompurin, and Cinnamoroll—wearing the outfits that Sakura wore in the Sakura Collection. Again, for example, Kuromi is wearing the black-and-pink outfit Sakura wore. The outfit that Sakura and Hello Kitty share has a more regal design. It has a long red dress and a crown (in Hello Kitty’s case).
The Gashapon Online Kirakira Perfume series will cost 400 JPY to play. They’ll be available from late February 2024. The Sakura Collection will cost 500 JPY and will come out from late March 2024.
