Well, it certainly is good to know that there will be even more Hello Kitty dolls to choose from! Actually, I'm sure those styles will be a hit with collectors. If you're in China, you should scoop some up and hit eBay...
uff, don't quite understand why some girls are so crazy about hello kitty, my friend has been trying really hard to get me carry the "authentic" hello kitty phone string she bought for me in Japan for a long time... seriously the kitty is really not my kind of cat.
can't get enough of hello kitty? Check out this car picture me and my gf took somewhere in Shanghai.
