This Hello Kitty Wedding Dress Seems Like A Pretty Good Way To Get Left At The Altar

Fellas, say you’re dating the perfect girl. Nothing weird, creepy, or particularly out of the normal about her. Say you get engaged to this girl. Then the wedding day comes, you anxiously await walking down the aisle and seeing your perfect, beautiful bride, but then you get punched right in the eyes sockets with THIS monstrosity.

They say it’s bad luck for the groom to see the bride’s dress before the wedding, but I think seeing this dress waiting for you down the aisle is just plain bad luck, period. Everything about it spells disaster and would send yours truly calming 180-ing back out whatever door I came in from.

Note to the ladies: please don’t ever do this.

And, yes, the above picture is clearly PhotoShopped, but it’s the principal of the whole thing. There’s principalities involved.

Hello Kitty Bento Series

They’ve turned Hello Kitty into a lot of things - a KISS member and a Street Fighter character, just to name a few recent ones. But I’ve never seen her turned into a food item. The bento series contains a bunch of food items such as onigiri, peppers, and octopi with Hello Kitty’s face on them. This is just bizarre. And awesome. My favorite is the plush chicken wing above.

tokidoki x Sanrio x Nooka

This watch is all sorts of amazing. Sanrio and tokidoki continue their collaboration, this time roping in super stylish watchmakers, Nooka. Gotta love the tokidoki-ified Hello Kitty characters. I’m hoping for a tokidoki x Sanrio blindbox series some day.

Update: Love Through Design have contacted me and let me know that they have headed up this project and that you can pre-order the watch right here.

Hello Kitty Heroclix Inbound?

A new press release announced a collaboration between Sanrio and NECA which will bring about a new Hello Kitty collection targeted at hardcore collectors.

The most curious section noted that a special Hello Kitty set of the popular (and awesome) Wizkids’ Heroclix is going to be revealed with the set at the New York Comic-Con.

Heroclix is an great tabletop game that mirrors the gameplay of something like Final Fantasy tactics using miniatures from Marvel and DC superheroes. However, with the latest expansions to Heroclix including IPs such as Assassin’s Creed, Street Fighter and Bioshock, it is no surprise that other recognizable properties are getting Heroclix releases. However, Hello Kitty is a bit surprising.

Can’t wait to see what this brings to the game. Heroclix is a fantastic hobby and I love seeing it grow. If you are a fan of strategy games and comics, you should be playing this game.

Street Fighter x Sanrio Gift Book & Sticker Book

Just in time for Xmas comes two books that combine the badassery of Street Fighter with the adorableness of Sanrio.

Street Fighter x Sanrio: World View features Sanrio playing the parts of Street Fighter characters sharing the wisdom they’ve learned from countless battles across the world. The Street Fighter x Sanrio Sticker Book contains a mix of colorful bumper stickers, paper dolls, and more.

Now they just need to make a Street Fighter x Sanrio game so I can play as a shoto-ized Badtz Maru and chuck fireballs at Hello Kitty’s mouthless little head.

For The Ladies: Hello Kitty x Reebok PT-20

These limited edition Reebok PT-20s feature an all-over Hello Kitty print, come in pink, black, or white, and even have a metal Hello Kitty bow lace jewel. Available now at select Reebok retailers.

Sanrio x Street Fighter Is Go

Sanrio have finally launched their line of Street Fighter shirts and accessories. There are plenty of characters to choose from in both men’s and women’s cuts. I’m having a tough time choosing between Blanka / Keroppi and Zangief / Purin. Also, enter “STREETFIGHTER” (minus the quotes) in the promotion code box at checkout to get a set of awesome pins.

Nooka Collaborates with Adventure Time and Hello Kitty

Nooka have just released these two awesome watches in their Sub 20 line. One of them is based on Hello Kitty and the other is based on Finn from Adventure Time. Zooka also released a Hello Kitty Mini NookaNooka, their vinyl toys / watch holder. The watches are $130 and the Hello Kitty toy is an extra $35, all from the Nooka store. What time is it?

A Little Bit On The Skitty Side: Custom 8.5” Nookanooka by Tony Nakanari for an upcoming exhibit in Japan.

Skitty may look like Hello Kitty but don’t let her looks fool you. You will be her victim if you think she’s cute and innocent. She’s sexy and evil. She knows the meaning of party. 

Don’t be expecting Skitty to be a homemaker. She wants her own independence. 

100% acrylic paint + brush. No taping. No BS. Nakanari Style. 

A Little Bit On The Evangelion Kitty Side: With You Can (Not) Redo coming out this fall, Neon Genesis Evangelion will be teaming up with Sanrio to create various types of merchandise with Rei and Asuka Hello Kitties on them.

A Little Bit on the tokidoki Update Side: Today is a good day for tokidoki fans. The Porcino vinyl toy is now available for $13. Plus, they just announced a partnership with Sanrio and 7-Eleven in Hong Kong. 7-Eleven stores will sell eight tokidoki x Hello Kitty mini-figures / zipper pulls this month and next month, six more holiday-related figures, and seven color variants. Like I said, good day.
