My Sanrio Collection

Collecting Sanrio items for quite a while, I have always wanted to properly display my collection, online and at home. With space constraints at home, I find it difficult to display my collection. I have discussed with other Sanrio collectors on how they keep and display the collection and found that some collectors, like myself, keep the items in huge plastic boxes, away from the sun. It is ironic that on one hand I want to display and appreciate the collection, while the best way to keep them is in the dark since the color of the items will fade so quickly if they are under the sun.

For vintage items, I  started collecting them not too long ago and it is not a huge collection. It is hard to acquire good quality and good priced vintage items. Some of them went too expensive to collect so that I simply have to keep searching and looking.

For trinkets, they are so cute and adorable. My trinket collection grew quite quickly after I started buying them from Japanese collectors/sellers. I have wanted to do an inventory on what trinkets I have and what I don't, but yet to find time.

My Melody....Little Red Riding Hood.....I always like this character. When I first started to work in 1997,  it happened that Sanrio produced a new line of My Melody in red hoods and two straight ears. At that time, I bought every single design that came into sight. Was a little crazy at the time. Now, I am more selective in collecting My Melody, and focus on rarer items like UFO plushes, point-prize, lucky draw and Not for Sale items. Kuromi? Never liked it and not collecting it. I have always wanted to meet the author of My Melody to get an autograph. It is important for me, and I hope to be able to do that. 

My collection also include Purin, Button Nose and some Cheery Chums. I hope you enjoy viewing my collection. I find it very exciting to see other people's collection, especially when I see rare and extremely cute items.
