Cinnamoroll and Pompompurin enjoy a picnic in new figures from Sanrio
BANDAI SPIRITS are set to release two new crane game prizes featuring two of Sanrio’s most popular characters.
The new prizes are the latest to join the Banpresto “Nakayoshi Memories” series, which is based around Sanrio characters creating memories to cherish with their friends.
These figures feature fan-favorite characters Cinnamoroll and Pompompurin enjoying a picnic and can be displayed along with Kuromi and My Melody, who were released at the end of May.
Crane games, also known as UFO catchers, are a hugely popular form of entertainment in Japanese amusement facilities, offering players a chance to win exclusive merchandise.
Sanrio frequently collaborates with manufacturers to provide unique, collectible items, with these additions to the “Nakayoshi Memories” series joining the recently announced “Sanrio Characters Magical Ribbon” series.
Cinnamoroll, a white, cloud-like puppy with long ears, and Pompompurin, a golden retriever dog who loves pudding, are two of Sanrio’s most endearing and popular characters, are often featured in merchandise and collaborations such as the recently released “Oshiri Series” of merchandise.
Let’s take a closer look at the “Nakayoshi Memories” prize figures!
Each figure in the series captures the characters in a joyful picnic setting:
Cinnamoroll is depicted alongside his friend Milk, enjoying a sweet treat and a hot drink.
Pompompurin is accompanied by his best friend Muffin, enjoying a hot drink and his favorite pudding as a snack.
Measuring approximately 12cm in size (including ears), these figures are perfect for display and are sure to be a sought-after prize for collectors and fans of both Cinnamoroll and Pompompurin.
The latest additions to the “Nakayoshi Memories” collection are scheduled to launch on June 24th, 2025, at amusement arcades and game centres across Japan.
Fans based overseas will be able to pick up the Cinnamoroll and Pompompurin “Nakayoshi Memories” figures around 1-2 months after the initial Japanese arcade release, as Banpresto figures are generally offered at most hobby goods/anime specialist retailers in most international territories.
