Japan-Born Cute Stuffed Animal “Monchhichi” × “THANK YOU MART” Collaboration Items Now Available

Hello! I’m Hakoboya, the Souvenir Promotion Captain for Kodawari Times! ╭(·ᴗ·)╮╰(·ᴗ·)╯
Do you know Monchhichi, the pioneer of Japanese kawaii culture? This adorable monkey-like stuffed animal celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2024. Thanks to overseas influencers, it’s experiencing a resurgence in popularity. This time, Monchhichi has collaborated with Japan’s ALL 390-yen variety store, “THANK YOU MART.” Let me introduce you to a bunch of cute items!

Monchhichi and THANK YOU MART Collaboration

Born in Katsushika-ku, Tokyo in 1974, “Monchhichi” features a plush body with a soft vinyl face and limbs. When first released, it sparked a huge craze as a “completely new kind of doll.” Even now, celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2024, it continues to be loved by many people not only in Japan but around the world.

In recent years, it has regained attention thanks to posts by overseas influencers on social media, and is now also popular as a souvenir item! It’s especially trending as a fashion icon, often seen attached to luxury bags.

On the other hand, THANK YOU MART (Elsonic Co., Ltd.) is a shop where cute fan goods centered around limited-edition character items are always available for just 390 yen each, under the theme “Be Smile, Be Kawaii.” It’s a brand popular mainly among young women and others interested in character goods and fan merchandise.
The “Thank You Price,” making items easy to pick up anytime, is incredibly appealing, right?

Collaboration goods featuring cute characters like Monchhichi and adorable items from THANK YOU MART will be available at THANK YOU MART stores nationwide starting early December, as soon as they arrive. Inspired by the resurgent popularity of “Harajuku-style Kawaii,” the collection features soft pink and purple tones for a pop and girly design.
