A Symphony of Sight and Sound
The most captivating feature of these charms is their “shaka-shaka” mechanism. Each charm encloses a collection of acrylic flake seals. Give it a gentle shake, and these tiny seals cascade and overlap, creating a delightful rattling sound. It’s a sensory experience that brings the joy of collecting to life, allowing you to not only see but also hear your favorite characters.
Each of the 10 charm designs features eight unique illustrations of its character. For instance, the Hello Kitty charm showcases not only Kitty herself but also her family members like Papa, Mama, and Mimmy. Similarly, Bad Badtz-Maru is joined by his friends, Good Hanamaru and Pandaba Ijuin, offering a diverse array of expressions and poses.
Beyond the characters, the charms boast thoughtful design details. The packaging adopts a charming check pattern, color-coordinated to each character, with a heart-shaped transparent window revealing the seals within. For eagle-eyed fans, the barcode on the back cleverly incorporates each character’s birthday, and a lucky few might even discover a special sparkling flake seal among the eight designs. Equipped with a ball chain, these charms are perfect for adorning pouches, bags, or keys, adding a touch of Sanrio magic wherever you go.
