For another, a lot of my Hello Kitty items were gifts from friends and family members.

I have a few Hello Kitty's myself and I like Keroppi the most. I'm not a Sanrio toy collector though.<br /><br />I used to collect action figures like StarWars and McFarlane toys but these days I'm more into Japanese figures and Stikfas.
