Kitan Club's PUTITTO capsule toy series, known for figures that perch on cup rims, has added a Sanrio Characters lineup with a strawberry milk theme. The new set, PUTITTO Sanrio Characters Strawberry Milk Flocked, launches sequentially in capsule toy vending machines nationwide starting Tuesday, August 25, 2026. Each play costs 400 yen including tax, and the set includes five types: Pochacco, Hangyodon, My Melody, Kuromi, and Tuxedo Sam. The figures stand roughly 30 to 50 millimeters tall. The character parts receive a flocking finish for a soft, gentle texture, while accessory pieces such as candy, ice cream, and a ladder are deliberately left unflocked. That contrast in material textures is a selling point. The poses take advantage of the cup rim's limited space, with characters hanging, climbing, or sitting. The color palette uses pink and white tones to evoke a sweet strawberry milk look. Sanrio holds the character copyright, with approval number L670711 on the packaging.
The five characters in this set were chosen for broad appeal, and the lineup overlaps with the top ranks of the 2026 Sanrio Character Award. Pompompurin took first place with a record 70,647,379 votes, the highest ever, while Pochacco ranked third and Kuromi fourth. My Melody, Hangyodon, and Tuxedo Sam round out the group.
Each character gets a short descriptive note in the product materials. Pochacco's name comes from being plump and chubby. Hangyodon is a half-fish man born in China. My Melody is an honest, cheerful girl who cares for her younger brother. Kuromi calls herself My Melody's rival. Tuxedo Sam is a stylish penguin boy from Tuxedo Island in Antarctica.
The figures measure roughly 30 to 50 millimeters, small enough to sit on a standard cup rim. The flocking is applied only to the character parts, leaving the candy, ice cream, and ladder accessories smooth. Kitan Club priced each play at 400 yen including tax. The set is scheduled for sequential release from Tuesday, August 25, 2026, at capsule toy vending machines nationwide.
