Why do Sanrio fans want more merchandise for lesser known characters? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Sanrio has a lot of different characters now, which means they have a Pokemon problem. The Pokemon problem is, there are so many to choose from that every Pokemon is someone's favorite Pokemon. Pokemon solves this by making merchandise for every single Pokemon. Is it a lot? Yes. Does it work? Also yes. But Sanrio doesn't do this. They only focus on making merchandise for their most popular characters because they make money. They'll occasionally make things like Sanrio Boys and Fragaria Memories to bring more people in, but those series also focus on the more popular characters. Not many people watch the animations, which is why characters like Lloromannic go unnoticed for so long. They were made for a show and didn't get much merchandise afterwards. However, this is also why it was such a surprise for Berry and Cherry to be chosen for the Build-A-Bear Halloween line this year. The game Hello Kitty Dream Village does a better job of including lesser known characters, but it doesn't have as much of a fan base right now. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!
