Common questions about the Hello Kitty (With Noodles) Pop! Sanrio from Funko.
The answers below are provided by contributors and may not be fully accurate. Verify important details before relying on them.
This figure is not considered rare, as it was part of the standard Sanrio Pop! Vinyl line released in 2017. It remains widely available on the secondary market through major retailers and collector platforms. While exclusive variants exist, the standard version is common and typically trades at or near its original retail price.
This figure is not a standard mass-market release and appears to be a limited convention exclusive or promotional variant, making its value highly dependent on condition and provenance. Because it lacks a consistent secondary market history, there is no reliable fixed price, and collectors should check recent sold listings on platforms like eBay for current market data.
This item is authentic if it bears the official Funko logo on the base and matches the official SKU 47 for the Hello Kitty (With Noodles) vinyl figure. Verify authenticity by checking for consistent paint application, correct character details, and a clean, uncracked vinyl body without signs of repair or aftermarket modification. If the item lacks the Funko branding or deviates significantly from official product images, it may be a counterfeit or third-party reproduction.
Funko does not publish an official release date for this specific figure. It is generally attributed to the 2015-2016 production window based on its sequential numbering and catalog history. Collectors often cite late 2015 as the most likely launch period.
The Hello Kitty (With Noodles) Pop! Vinyl is no longer in print and is considered retired by Funko. New stock is extremely rare and typically only available through secondary market resellers. Buyers should expect to purchase this item as pre-owned or from third-party sellers rather than directly from the manufacturer.
Examine the vinyl surface for factory defects such as mold lines, seam splits, or paint application errors, particularly around the facial features and noodle details. Inspect the base for stability and check the box for structural damage, as original packaging significantly impacts collectible value. Look for signs of stress cracking near the limbs and head connection points, which are common failure areas for this figure.
