Common questions about the Kuromi with Phone 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 because it was part of the standard Sanrio Pop! vinyl line released in 2018. It remains widely available through secondary markets and retail stores. Collectors can typically find it at standard market prices without significant premium.
Funko Pop! figures with SKU 88 are not part of the standard Sanrio line, and no official release exists for a "Kuromi with Phone" design under this number. This specific combination of character, accessory, and SKU does not appear in Funko’s production records or major collector databases. Verify the item’s authenticity, as it may be a custom, bootleg, or misidentified product rather than an official release.
This item is not a standard Funko Pop! vinyl figure, as the official Sanrio line does not include a Kuromi holding a phone with SKU 88. The number 88 typically corresponds to other characters or series, so this specific description likely refers to a third-party accessory, a custom creation, or a mislabeled listing. To authenticate it, verify the manufacturer stamp on the base and cross-reference the SKU with Funko’s official catalog or reputable collector databases. If the item lacks a clear manufacturer mark or does not appear in official records, it is likely unofficial.
The release date for the Funko Pop! Sanrio Kuromi with Phone (SKU 88) is not publicly documented in official Funko records. This specific SKU number does not correspond to a widely recognized standard release in the Sanrio line, suggesting it may be a regional exclusive or a misidentified item.
This item is no longer in print and is not available to buy new from Funko. It is considered a retired release. Collectors can only find it through secondary market resellers.
Examine the vinyl surface for cracks, scratches, or paint defects, particularly around the phone accessory and facial details. Check the base for stability and ensure the figure stands upright without leaning. Inspect the original box for dings, creases, or spine damage, as box condition significantly impacts collectible value. Refer to standard Funko Pop grading scales that prioritize mint condition for both the figure and its packaging.
