(Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Takeshi Yokoyama) is releasing a new capsule toy featuring Sanrio Characters designs, "Sanrio Characters Mini Mini Sand Play Set" (5 varieties / 400 yen per try, tax included), rolling out sequentially from late July 2026 at capsule toy vending machine corners nationwide.

About "Sanrio Characters Mini Mini Sand Play Set" (5 varieties)

A miniature sand play set featuring Sanrio Characters designs recreates classic sand play items in compact form. The set includes a bucket, a face-shaped case, a shovel, and a rake, giving it a nostalgic feel.

The lineup features five varieties: "Hello Kitty," "Kuromi," "My Melody," "Pompompurin," and "Cinnamoroll." Some parts, such as the bucket, shovel, and rake, use a translucent material with a touch of glitter, giving them a sparkling texture.

Each part can actually be used, so despite their miniature size, they retain a playful element. Displaying them in the included mini packaging bag, which has a different design for each character, creates a display that feels just like items sold in a store.

A ball chain is also included so the set can be carried as a keychain. Beyond simply being on display, it's an item that adds a subtle touch of color to summer trips to the beach and other outings.
