Pochacco Flowers Series Figure – Sanrio Blind Box
I picked this Pochacco Flowers Series Figure mostly because it looked charming and decorative — I love subtle collectibles that double as cute home decor. I’ve seen similar figures at boutique stores in LA, but they’re often overpriced or part of gacha machines with no guarantee of what you get. This AliExpress version caught my eye because of the detailed floral theme and the Sanrio licensing.
Delivery took just under three weeks, and the box arrived in perfect condition with the blind box still sealed. I pulled the figure of Pochacco holding a floral bouquet, and it honestly made me smile more than I expected.
Pros: – High-quality paint and sculpt – Stands well on flat surfaces – Makes a great gift or desk buddy
Cons: – It’s a blind box, so you can’t choose your figure – The flower paint was slightly off-center on mine
Compared to buying Sanrio merch in the U.S. ($12–$18 per figure), this cost me half the price — around $6. Definitely worth it.
Expectations met? 100%. Even exceeded. I didn’t expect the packaging to feel so premium.

Kuromi Werewolf Series Blind Box Figure
This Kuromi Werewolf Series caught my eye because I love anything with a darker, gothic twist — and Kuromi as a werewolf? That’s pretty unique. The design looked edgy and different from standard Sanrio cuteness.
Shipping was faster than I thought (about 2 weeks), and the figure was bubble-wrapped inside the blind box. I received Kuromi with a cloak and little fangs — super fun, and honestly the quality was impressive.
Pros: – Unique character design – Good paint job and detailing – Feels solid and well-made
Cons: – Blind box gamble – Doesn’t come with a base, so it topples easily on uneven surfaces
For under $8, it’s better than most novelty figures I’ve bought on Etsy or at conventions. I would’ve paid double for this figure at a U.S. comic store.
Expectations met? Surprised by the quality. It’s actually better than a few Funko Mystery Minis I own.

Hello Kitty & Pikachu Keychain Blind Box
This Hello Kitty x Pikachu keychain was a no-brainer. It combines two icons I grew up loving, and I hadn’t seen this crossover anywhere else. I wanted something quirky for my backpack, and this felt like a fun surprise.
It took about 17 days to arrive, and the keychain was boxed nicely. I got Hello Kitty dressed as Pikachu — cuteness overload.
Pros: – Durable silicone keychain – Smooth texture, doesn’t scratch – Fun, collectible crossover
Cons: – Slight factory smell (disappeared in a day) – Larger than expected — not pocket-friendly
In the U.S., character keychains like this usually go for $10–$12 at stores like Hot Topic. This cost me about $5.
Expectations met? Yes, and I’ve gotten compliments on it already!

My Melody & Kuromi Surprise Figure – Sanrio Blind Box
I’ve always had a soft spot for My Melody and Kuromi, and this figure set seemed perfect for displaying on my shelf. I went in knowing it was a blind box, but I was hoping for one of the sitting poses.
The product shipped in under 3 weeks. I received Kuromi in a sitting position holding a little plush, and it was honestly adorable. The build is sturdy and the finish is smooth.
Pros: – Lovely sculpt and finish – No scratches or defects – Comes with a collector card
Cons: – No display stand – Doesn’t feel heavy (hollow plastic inside)
I compared it to some figures I’ve seen in Japanese gift shops (around $15–20), and for $7 this is an excellent value.
Expectations met? Definitely. Cute, clean, and collectible.

Kuromi Witch Festival Series Blind Box
This Witch Festival Kuromi figure appealed to me for its Halloween vibes. I collect seasonal decor and thought this would look great on my October shelf. Spoiler: it does.
Shipping was relatively fast (13 days), and I got a version with Kuromi wearing a witch hat and cape. The purple tones were rich, and the base was included — bonus!
Pros: – Themed design makes it a standout – Sturdy base for display – Well-painted cloak details
Cons: – Hat arrived slightly bent (I fixed it with warm water) – No collector insert or info sheet
U.S. equivalents usually cost $20+ for this level of theme/detail. This was $9 — solid value.
Expectations met? Yep. Even better than I expected.

Poker Kingdom Spade Series Kuromi Figure
What sold me on the Poker Kingdom Kuromi was the playing card aesthetic. I don’t even collect card-themed stuff, but this was so unusual I had to try it.
I got Kuromi in a spade outfit with a staff. She stands tall and feels different from my other figures — more stylized.
Pros: – Cool, stylized outfit – Easy to balance on desk – Great for themed collections
Cons: – Slight molding seam on the staff – No accessories or packaging inserts
Price-wise, this was around $7 — cheaper than most decorative figures with this kind of niche theme.
Expectations met? Yes. Adds flair to my collection.

Holiday Beach Pochacco Blind Box
This Holiday Beach Pochacco felt perfect for summer — I wanted something to match the sunny vibes of my room. The surfboard illustrations on the box sealed the deal.
It arrived in 15 days. I got Pochacco in a floaty tube with sunglasses. The beach theme is playful and just makes me happy.
Pros: – Fun, bright colors – Feels summery and lighthearted – No defects
Cons: – Slightly uneven base – No collector card
Cost me $6, and it could easily sell for $14+ in local hobby shops.
Expectations met? Definitely. Feels cheerful and season-appropriate.

Kuromi, Cinnamoroll, My Melody Mixed Blind Box
I was drawn to this Kuromi/Cinnamoroll/My Melody mix blind box because of its variety. I didn’t mind which figure I got — all three are favorites.
Mine arrived in about 2.5 weeks. I pulled Cinnamoroll with a book accessory. It’s sweet, but smaller than I expected.
Pros: – Great detail on small figure – Nice matte finish – Lightweight
Cons: – Size might disappoint some – No base, so it rolls a bit
It was around $6, and still a better deal than what I’d find at a U.S. anime merch store.
Expectations met? Mostly. Size was a surprise, but still a good purchase.

Half-Skeleton Sanrio Blind Box Figure
This Half-Skeleton Hello Kitty figure instantly stood out. The split design (half cute, half anatomical) felt edgy and collectible. Definitely a niche appeal.
Arrived in just under 3 weeks. I got Kuromi, and the detailing on the skeleton side is surprisingly clean and intricate.
Pros: – Bold and unique concept – Paint job is crisp – Comes with stand
Cons: – Skeleton side can be a bit creepy for some – Slightly smaller than anticipated
Price was under $8. In specialty U.S. stores, I’ve seen similar split figures go for $25+.
Expectations met? Yes, and it’s already a conversation piece on my shelf.

Mofusand Cats in Sanrio Costumes Blind Box
I had to get this Mofusand x Sanrio box because I love cats and Sanrio — the combo is irresistible. These collab figures are rare to find locally.
Shipping took about 18 days. I got a cat dressed as My Melody hugging a plush. It’s honestly one of the cutest things I own.
Pros: – Adorable and original crossover – Excellent detail in costume – Feels like solid PVC
Cons: – Packaging was dented – Slight mark on ear (not too noticeable)
It cost me around $9. I’ve seen similar crossover figures go for $30+ in the U.S.

Overall Opinion
Honestly, I didn’t expect much when I placed this order — I was just trying out AliExpress collectibles out of curiosity. But every item arrived safely, well-packed, and matched or exceeded my expectations. Some were even better than the licensed merch I’ve bought locally. The price-to-quality ratio is unbeatable. I’d definitely recommend these figures to other collectors, especially if you’re into Sanrio or blind box toys. Already browsing for more.
