Hello Kitty X Space Invaders Fasteners

Hello Kitty shares nothing with Space Invaders. The former is a furry feline with a simple facial structure who helms a billion dollar empire structured around the concept of cute. The other is an aged video game classic which occasionally finds itself included in Taito's retro collections and reissues. Despite the disparate nature of the two, Japanese manufacturer Gotochi brings them together in a "Hello Kitty X Space Invaders Mascot Netsuke Fastener" set. The two figures share dot-graphics design sensibilities and are topped with a little metal clasp which connects them to mini-loops and other little links. «more»

Hello Kitty X Space Invaders Strap

Sanrio gave birth to Hello Kitty in 1974 and started a franchise that would circle the globe and capture the hearts of girls and a few boys. Taito unleashed Space Invaders in 1978 and won favor with boys and roughly six girls around the world. Fast forward three decades and the two legends finally collaborate on a project from Japanese manufacturer Gotochi. Looking at the two strap trinkets, one might think, "What took them so long?"

Hello Kitty X Space Invaders Hand Towel

After a person living in a civilized society washes his or her hands, the proper etiquette would be to dry them with a napkin or towel. This means the following after-washing-hands-actions are no-nos:

» Wiping your hands on your shirt or pants like a caveman

» Touching your greasy face, unaware that oil and water don't mix

To encourage proper hand drying, Japanese manufacturer Gotochi has released a Hello Kitty X Space Invaders hand towel which features images of Kitty's face together with Invaders against a pink backdrop. Made of 100% cotton and measures 250 x 250 mm or 9.84" square. «more»

Hello Kitty X Space Invaders Face Towel

Human hands aren't much bigger than faces but the Hello Kitty X Space Invaders face towel measures 337 x 785 mm or 13.26 x 30.90" in size. Unless your face is as big as a watermelon, the "Face Towel" would work better as a body towel. The kind that you grab when stepping out of the shower to mop up rivulets and streams of water... «more»
