Review of Past Sanrio Hello Kitty Series Design

There are so many Hello Kitty designs made, but I decided to tackle some of the good designs from the past that stood out or was still a classic to us collectors who love collecting vintage stuff.



1974

My Sanrio Rating: 


Classic HK version will always makes us appreciate the good old days.








1976

My Sanrio Rating: 


There's nothing better than seeing Hello Kitty hard at work!  

I will always love the blue jumpsuit she has on and her red classic bow accessory at her ear.










1977

My Sanrio Rating: 


Hello Kitty shows us she can do anything if you put your mind to it.










1978

My Sanrio Rating: 


I can't say this design is one of my favorites because it's not. I love vintage Hello Kitty, but here she looks out of place on bright neon colored dolphin.










1980

My Sanrio Rating: 


There's something special about Hello Kitty's enthusiasm for whatever she sets out to do like playing tennis.

Here I just love her outfit. Simple and just with the right color scheme.








1982

My Sanrio Rating: 


Maybe this was the first time we see her hugging her teddy bear doll?

I love how her bow accessory is now highlighted in white color. I definitely like the whole overrall color scheme plus the red background is great part of the design - it really draws your attention to HK







1988

My Sanrio Rating: 


I never did like the black nose part of the design, but I can't deny that I love the red and black plaid design in the background, along with the gold colored text. I am still a sucker for the jumpsuit and stripe shirt design











My Sanrio Rating: 


What can I say? I love the yellow teddy bear series as well. Something about this design works perfectly. Maybe I just love how there's two Hello Kittys in this design even though it's Mimmy right next to Hello Kitty





My Sanrio Rating: 


I love this design very much. The bear designed with it's own bow accessory gave it the right touch of being so fabulously adorable... how can you not love this series design?!







My Sanrio Rating: 


I grew up with this version and I still love it to this day. Long live Hello Kitty in a jumpsuit   ;0p
















My Sanrio Rating: 


There's nothing more enjoyable than seeing Hello Kitty and her teddy bear having a sweet time... plus maybe this is where I get fascinated with polka dots?









My Sanrio Rating:  1/2


I love the sundress and how sweet and innocent Hello Kitty looks













My Sanrio Rating: 


What a sweet design. I love blue colored angel Hello Kitty, don't you?










My Sanrio Rating: 


I think this was my favorite angel Hello Kitty versions in 2000













My Sanrio Rating: 




I also came to love the pink version angel Hello Kitty. She was more 3D here. She looked great!












My Sanrio Rating: 


I think it was one of those designs that I just didn't love or bother to muster to "like" status.











My Sanrio Rating: 


I love the pink *Ribbon* version more than the red colored designs. They were simple and cute.



As you know there's so much more Hello Kitty designs to cover, but if you've been following my blogs, then you already know that I did not like the majority of HK designs over the past few years, except for Momoberry, but that's in a different category and untouchable...  hello? Do I have to remind you that Momoberry is the ultimate pink and quirky on it's own? Don't make me bring out my Momoberry bible out and remind you why we love her!

Have a Happy AND Great start of the week
