Gold Hello Kitty Playing Cards


What better way to celebrate the birth of a feline icon than to dress her up like royalty and showcase her cuteness on a deck of solid gold playing cards? That's what Japanese company Sanrio has done with their 54-card deck of 99.99 percent gold cards. Each card measures 58 x 89 mm and features Kitty herself on the royal face cards. Contrary to popular belief, Hello Kitty was born in London, not Japan. To honor her birthplace, the flip side of the card features her posing proudly with a Union Jack in the shape of an apple. $4900.

Hello Kitty Goes Platinum

Sanrio is putting out a special Hello Kitty for the holiday shopping season. The figurine - and there is only one available - stand 2 1/4 inches high and weighs about 20 pounds. It is made of platinum and has seven jewel pendants that are made of rubies, pink sapphires and diamonds. The Hello Kitty will be offered for sale at the Mitsukoshi's flagship department store in Tokyo this Tuesday. The asking price is around $150,000.

Rent a Fembot

The name Sanrio is usually associated with Hello Kitty, but perhaps now it will also be associated with another girly product: fembots. A Sanrio subsidiary, Kokoro, created and refined the Actroid DER2. She has a much wider range of motion and expression than the previous DER model, and her lip movements coordinate surprisingly well with her speech. Unfortunately, she has to be pre-programmed with things to say and motions, so she won't really be able to interact with you, but you can still rent her for about $3,500 per week (400,000 yen) if you're interested in taking her - and possibly her tech support people - for a spin.
