When you think of animated mascots known the world over, the names and faces that spring to mind are Mario, Mickey Mouse, and Pikachu, among others.

Not only can millions around the world instantly recognize Sanrio's Hello Kitty mascot, but the character first appeared half a century ago and is still as popular, if not more so, than she has ever been before.

Hello Kitty Looks Great For 50
50th Anniversary Pink Embossed Hello Kitty Squishmallow
Celebrating 50 years of Hello Kitty, Sanrio's birthday Squishmallow puts the iconic merch mascot in a pink outfit covered in Hello Kitty bows. The bow on the Squishmallow's head is also pink and has a shiny number 50 on it.
Speaking of Pokemon Squishmallows, Jazwares and The Pokemon Company have confirmed which two designs will be the next in the range - Fuecoco and Bellibolt. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:A qu🔯ick look at the plush pair was shared ahead of last month's North America International Championships. No word yet on when either of them will be available to buy, but should the usual Pokemon Squishmallow formula be followed, pre-orders for them will be available through the Pokemon Center before they appear anywhere else.
Back to Hello Kitty, and even though the Sanrio mascot started life as a character that exclusively appeared on merch, and has continued that trend for 50 years, she has become so much more since then. Starring in shows, movies, and video games, a new addition to that last category coming in 2025. Hello Kitty Island Adventure, which is currently an 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Apple Arcade exclusive, will be released on 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Nintendo Switch and PC next year.
