Does WS Japan store still carry Hello Kitty?And What is it?

[daisylove]

Now it is really hard for me to admit that there is any other characters in existence other than my beloved Disney characters. Heck my daughter is named Daisy but... she has come home from pre-school with a fascination bordering upon obsessive for a character ( hmm she might get those traits from me ... maybe...) and it is not a Disney character per se but Hello Kitty. I think I can accept it as they were/are? sold in Epcot but I need recent confirmation of this. Thanks

By the way what is the story about Hello Kitty. Do they have videos, books? divine guidance?... what?

When we were there in May, the gift shop in Japan had an entire wall of Hello Kitty merchandise, and they have everything you can imagine: Bed & Bath items, toys, stationery - everything! Your DD won't ever want to leave!

I also know at our malls around here have actual Sanrio stores (maker of Hello Kitty and other characters). They might have cheaper prices on items, but sometimes you never know!

I remember having some Hello Kitty stuff when I was younger, back in the late '70s. It seemed to disappear for a while (or I quit noticing as I got older) and then I started seeing it again after my DD was born. We've hit many a Sanrio shop as well. For a while Disney had a Hello Kitty cartoon, but I haven't seen it in a long time. That's all I know on the history of Hello Kitty.

Here's a link to the website

Great pictures!!

I'm 34 (almost 35) but have to admit I still have an abiding love for Hello Kitty, LOL!! I just bought 2 HK greeting cards at Target and framed them for my scrapbook room.

Also, my 7yo niece (Hello Kitty's #1 fan) informs me that Target sells Hello Kitty cartoons on DVD and VHS.
