Sanrio Trading Cards & Collectibles in Australia - Hello Kitty, Kuromi and More
Sanrio characters have been a cultural institution for 50 years, but right now they're having their biggest moment yet in the collectibles world. Hello Kitty, Kuromi, My Melody, Cinnamoroll, Pompompurin and the whole Sanrio crew are showing up across trading card games, vinyl figures and premium blind boxes, and the quality of what's being produced right now is genuinely some of the best character-licensed collecting product on the market.
If you're in Australia and want to know what's out there beyond what's stocked at mainstream retailers, here's every Sanrio product we carry at Collectable Cartel, what makes each one different, and who each one is for.
KB Sanrio Shining Star Series 🆕
The newest Sanrio cards to land at Collectable Cartel are from KB, and they are absolutely worth your attention. KB has taken the Sanrio roster into two distinct themed worlds with the Shining Star series, and the artwork across both is gorgeous.
- Sanrio Characters Shining Star Carnival Series Booster Box: The full Sanrio lineup dressed up for carnival, with Little Twin Stars, Hello Kitty, My Melody, Kuromi and more reimagined in vibrant festive artwork. KB's printing quality is exceptional and the foil treatments on the rarer pulls make these genuinely special cards to own.
- Sanrio Characters Shining Star Donut Series Booster Box: Same cast, completely different energy. The Donut Series wraps your favourite Sanrio characters in a sweet, candy-coloured donut theme that manages to be both adorable and surprisingly stylish. Hello Kitty in a donut world is exactly as good as it sounds.
Both boxes are brand new stock, and both are limited. If you're a Sanrio collector and you haven't seen the KB Shining Star series yet, this is your introduction.
KB Sanrio Time for Treats 🆕
Sanrio Characters Time for Treats Booster Box
The third new arrival from KB, Time for Treats is built around a cosy holiday theme with Hello Kitty and My Melody front and centre. Where the Shining Star series leans into spectacle, Time for Treats has a warmer, more intimate feel. The kind of product that looks amazing displayed on a shelf or given as a gift. Another excellent entry point into the KB Sanrio range.
Kayou Sanrio Cute Dream Collection: The Hidden Gem
Sanrio Cute Dream Collection Booster Box
Kayou, the same publisher behind the My Little Pony TCG, produces a Sanrio set that's become one of our most quietly popular products. 18 packs of 5 cards featuring Hello Kitty, Kuromi, Cinnamoroll and more, with Kayou's signature holographic and prismatic rarity treatments across the pull spectrum.
It's one of the best value Sanrio products available in Australia. The artwork leans soft and pastel, distinctly different in tone to the KB and Weiss Schwarz products, which makes it a great addition to a Sanrio collection rather than a duplicate of anything else in the range.
Weiss Schwarz Sanrio Characters: The Premium TCG Option
Weiss Schwarz Sanrio Characters Booster Box (Japanese)
Weiss Schwarz is a Japanese trading card game published by Bushiroad that licenses popular IPs to produce standalone card sets. The Sanrio Characters set is one of the most visually striking Weiss Schwarz releases in recent years. Each box contains 10 packs of 4 cards featuring the full Sanrio roster, Hello Kitty, My Melody, Kuromi, Cinnamoroll, Pompompurin and more, with guaranteed SP foil pulls and premium card quality that Weiss Schwarz collectors know and expect.
This is a Japanese language release, which is standard for Weiss Schwarz collector boxes and doesn't affect the collectability one bit. For Sanrio collectors who want the most premium TCG treatment of their favourite characters, this is the one.
Panini Hello Kitty Trading Cards: The Accessible Entry Point
Panini is the world's leading sticker and trading card publisher, behind official FIFA, NBA and Marvel sets, and the Hello Kitty collaboration brings that same production pedigree to Sanrio fans of all ages.
- Panini Hello Kitty Trading Cards Booster Box: 24 packs of 6 officially licensed cards, 144 cards total. Bright, vibrant Sanrio artwork with collectible rarities throughout. Great value and a genuinely satisfying box to open.
- Panini Hello Kitty Booster Pack: Single pack for a low-commitment entry. Perfect for gifting, or to try the product before committing to a box.
Hello Kitty Funko POP Vinyl Figures
For collectors who want 3D display pieces alongside their cards, we stock two exclusive Hello Kitty Funko POPs that are genuinely difficult to find anywhere else in Australia.
- Hello Kitty Blacklight Special Edition Funko POP #70: UV-reactive vinyl that glows under blacklight. A standout display piece that looks completely different to anything else on your shelf. Special Edition packaging.
- Hello Kitty Robot Kitty SDCC 2020 US Exclusive Funko Pop #39: A genuine San Diego Comic-Con 2020 convention exclusive with a futuristic robot design. SDCC exclusives are produced in limited quantities and distributed only at the convention originally, making this one of the more collectible Hello Kitty Funko POPs in existence.
Why Sanrio Collecting Is Exploding Right Now
A few things have converged at once. The Sanrio IP has always had a dedicated collector base, but the last couple of years have seen it surge. Driven by Y2K nostalgia (Hello Kitty was at absolute peak cultural saturation in the early 2000s), Kuromi and Cinnamoroll gaining serious mainstream traction on social media, and a broader boom in character-licensed TCG products bringing multiple premium publishers into the Sanrio space simultaneously.
The result is that Sanrio collectibles in 2026 are more varied, more beautifully produced, and more accessible than they've ever been. Multiple publishers, KB, Kayou, Panini, Bushiroad, Funko, are all producing genuinely excellent product. The range at Collectable Cartel reflects that: there's something here for every type of Sanrio fan, at every price point, whether you're chasing rare foil cards or looking for the perfect gift.
