The answers below are provided by contributors and may not be fully accurate. Verify important details before relying on them.
The Hello Kitty Pop! Sanrio is not considered rare because it was the first figure in the line and produced in large quantities. It remains widely available on the secondary market at low prices. Collectors generally view it as a common entry-level item rather than a scarce find.
The Hello Kitty Pop! Vinyl (SKU 01) typically sells for $15 to $25 in good condition on the secondary market. As a common base model from 2013, it does not command high collector premiums unless it is a rare variant or includes original packaging. Prices fluctuate based on current demand and the specific condition of the figure.
This item is authentic if it bears the official Funko logo and the specific number 01 on its base, which corresponds to the original 2013 release. Verify the packaging for the correct Sanrio copyright symbol and ensure the vinyl figure matches the known colorways and mold details for this early production run. Counterfeits often feature incorrect font styles on the window card or lack the precise numbering on the figure's base.
The Hello Kitty Pop! Sanrio was released in 2013 by Funko.
The Hello Kitty Pop! vinyl figure with SKU 01 is no longer in print. It was part of Funko's initial 2013 release and has been retired from production. New copies are only available through secondary market resellers.
Examine the vinyl surface for hairline cracks, particularly around the seams and base, as these are common stress points. Check the paint application for any chips or smudges, focusing on the face and bow details. Inspect the original box for dings, creases, and spine damage, noting that this 2013 release often shows significant wear on corners. Verify that the figure is securely attached to the base and that the eyes are properly aligned.
