Sanrio and Funimation are teaming up to create an adorable line of products that combine Hello Kitty & Friends with My Hero Academia. That’s right, you’ll be able to see your favorite Hello Kitty characters dressed up as your favorite MHA characters including Hello Kitty herself as All Might. The new collection will be available in March at Hot Topic, Box Lunch, and select other retailers and feature apparel, accessories, and collectibles. Jill Koch of Sanrio said:
It’s an honor to bring together two Japan-born brands that have inspired fans and audiences worldwide. Our collaboration with Funimation is sure to be a hit with both fanbases as we transform our beloved characters into My Hero Academia superheroes.
Funimation’s Anna Songco Adamian released the following statement about the crossover:
The enduring appeal of My Hero Academia is that everyone has the ability to be a true hero within themselves. Funimation is proud to team up with Sanrio to bring the inner heroes of its iconic characters into the world in a collaboration we know fans will love.
Some of the companies that have licensed the collaboration include Bioworld, FiGPiN, Funko, Just Toys International and Great Eastern Entertainment. Fans are in for some really great things I think.
