Pompompurin, also known as just Purin, is a mascot for the japanese brand Sanrio with the appearence of a yellow golden retriever dog. I'm obsessed with him, which has led me to start collecting his merchandise. The reason I like him so much is because he is yellow, and yellow is my favorite color. So of course, I must collect every item I come across. (Well, maybe not every single one. There's no way I could afford it, and not everything is worth buying...)
I own both licensed products and knock-off ones, so that will be distinguished in each listed item. If you're a fan of Purin or Sanrio, you might enjoy my collection too.
- Pompompurin small plush
- Is it licensed?: I'm pretty sure it isn't
- Acquired: Around 2019?
- This used to be a plush keychain, but the keychain part got ripped. I got this from a claw machine, actually. Don't ask me how much I've spent to obtain it...it's probably way more than I'd like to admit.
- Big Pompompurin burger squishmallow
- Is it licensed?: Yes
- Acquired: 2022
- This was a birthday gift my best friend gave me, it has very soft material and is perfect for hugging.
- Small rubber keychain
- Is it licensed?: No
- Acquired: 2022
- This is a small purin keychain I bought at a cosplay convention. The pancake charm that accompanies it was added by me, it was a different keychain I had bought from Daiso around a year before.
- Felt ID card holder
- DIY project
- Made: 2023
- This is an ID card holder I made out of felt, and is meant to look like pompompurin's face. I even gave him a little bowtie. I did not use this for too long because I didn't like how it turned out that much.
- Binder cover collage
- DIY project
- Made: 2023
- This is an A5 sized binder I bought from Daiso, which I decorated with a collage made out of washi tape, stickers and product tags. As the picture shows, I used the squishmallow's tag and a Sanrio washi tape packaging, along with pompompurin stickers.
- Pompompurin mug
- Is it licensed?: Yes
- Acquired: 2023
- A gift my mom bought me on a trip she went to, I use it to drink water everyday. Its box is big enough that I can use it as storage for other things, so I kept it.
- Notebook with a squishy cover
- Is it licensed?: Yes
- Acquired: 2023
- Another gift my mom bought me from the same trip. The pompompurin on the cover is made out of memory foam, so you can play with it like a squishy toy. However, I kept the notebook in its packaging box and left it as a display item on my shelf. The reason is because the pages are so pretty I'm afraid I'd ruin them with my ugly handwriting...so the notebook will remain there until I have the courage to use it or come up with a better idea for it.
- Plush keychain of Purin in a cat costume
- Is it licensed?: Yes
- Acquired: 2023
- A gift my partner bought for me from aliexpress. I really wanted this keychain, but I wanted the original one because the bootleg didn't look as pretty. It was very difficult searching for a listing that sold the real deal, but I managed to do it. It even came with the original tag, Sanrio trademark and everything. A friend pointed out how the cat tail is placed under the butthole instead of on top of it...which implies that it could be...something else.
- Rubber keychain of Purin in a koala costume
- Is it licensed?: No
- Acquired: 2023
- Gift my sibling got for me, the keychain even comes with a little bell. I love the sound it makes.
- Sakura Purin rubber keychain
- Is it licensed?: No
- Acquired: 2023
- Another keychain my sibling got for me. This purin is different because he is pink and has sakura flowers on his belly. It is currently (as I'm writing this) holding some of my keys.
- Pompompurin T-shirt
- Is it licensed?: Yes
- Acquired: 2024
- Bought this one at a japanese festival, made by a brazillian brand (I live in Brazil). It's very comfortable to wear, since it's made out of cotton.
- Candy-shaped keychain
- Is it licensed?: Yes
- Acquired: 2024
- Bought this one at Daiso. It's very cute, and even has a little pocket for you to put a card or something in it. I put the tag that came with the purin in a cat costume keychain, that has a picture of him drawn in it.
- Purin fastener case
- Is it licensed?: Yes
- Acquired: 2024
- Also bought at Daiso. I use it to store my public transport pass and ID.
- Pompompurin coin pouch
- Is it licensed?: Yes
- Acquired: 2024
- Guess where I bought this. Yes, Daiso, again. I use it as a wallet.
