Hello Kitty turns 50, and apparently, middle age calls for pure gold. This limited-edition figure, capped at just 50 pieces, celebrates the iconic character with a regal twist.
Decked out in a crown and holding a golden 50th-anniversary scepter, this isn’t your typical desk trinket. It’s a sculpture crafted from 24-karat gold (purity 99.9%), featuring a mix of velvety matte and high-shine finishes to highlight Kitty’s timeless charm.
The figure stands at a modest 60 mm (2.36 inches) tall and weighs 14 grams (0.49 oz.)—gold enthusiasts would call it “petite but mighty.”
It comes perched on a crystal glass base adorned with a golden plate, all encased in a sleek glass dome. Each piece boasts a unique serial number etched on the base, ensuring no two kitties are alike.
As a nod to authenticity, the figurine bears Japan’s official mint hallmark, complete with a certificate of quality.
Crafted with precision by Japanese artisans, this collectible arrives in an original gift box, primed for gifting—or keeping, if you’re feeling indulgent.
The price tag is a shiny 429,000 yen [JP] (about $2,900 USD). Now the real question: is this golden Kitty worth its weight? While you pondering over this question, you may want to take a few more looks after the jump.
