Entertainment Earth Exclusive Kuromi Funko Pop Pre-Order Begins
Entertainment Earth is accepting pre-orders for a limited-edition Hello Kitty Kuromi with Heart Funko Pop! Vinyl figure, priced at $16.99. This exclusive release features the character in an adorable bear ensemble, holding a large heart and sporting matching mini hearts on her feet. The vinyl figure measures approximately 3 1/4 inches tall.
The collectible is scheduled to begin shipping to customers in December, though a specific delivery date has not yet been confirmed by the retailer. This new merchandise aligns with Sanrio's recent corporate strategy to position Kuromi as its second most prominent global IP following Hello Kitty. The company has outlined plans to intensify growth in North America and develop Kuromi through various media, including a stop-motion animated series that premiered on Netflix in 2025 and an upcoming IDW Publishing comic anthology releasing in January.
