Japan has a long tradition of producing small collectibles tied to beloved characters, vintage promotions, and pop-culture franchises. Today’s picks span anime icons, a Sanrio classic, a vintage Coca-Cola bottle cap from Japan, and an early Pokemon charm — a cross-section of the kinds of items that made their way into Japanese households over the past few decades.
Doraemon White Prince Costume Choco Egg Figure — Movie Selection
This is a small figure of Doraemon dressed in a White Prince costume, issued as part of the Choco Egg Movie Selection series — a line of miniature figures that were originally packaged inside chocolate eggs. Doraemon, the robotic cat from the future, is one of Japan’s most enduring manga and anime characters, first appearing in 1969 and remaining a fixture of Japanese popular culture to this day.

Hello Kitty Business Man Suit Figure — Sanrio Japan
This is a Hello Kitty figure dressed in a business suit and tie, a playful departure from the character’s typically soft and pastel presentation. Hello Kitty was created by Sanrio in 1974 and has since appeared in an enormous range of themed merchandise, with character variations — including ones that subvert her usual look — forming their own niche within Sanrio collecting.

About This Collection
These four pieces reflect different corners of Japanese collectible culture: character figures from anime and kawaii brands, a piece of vintage promotional history, and early Pokemon merchandise from the franchise’s formative years. Each item represents a distinct era and category, but all share the same origin in Japan’s rich tradition of small, carefully crafted collectibles aimed at fans of all ages.
