Blind boxes were fun for a minute, with people pulling mystery Labubus and unboxing pop culture merch from sealed packages, but they weren’t always great if you had your sights set on a particular plushie or object.
The whole point of a blind box was a random unveiling, meaning you wouldn’t know what you got until you ripped open the package, and while that was fun to witness, it also left a lot of people with the same piece over and over again (take it from me, who kept pulling Grumpy Bear from this Care Bears blind box even though all I wanted was a Cheer Bear).
Fortunately, there’s a way to get what you want now, with Urban Outfitters’ new Monchhichi bag charm collection. The retailer has a number of plushie keychains available as part of the Japanese brand’s collaboration with Sanrio. Real ones know that Monchhichis were created by the Sekiguchi Corporation back in 1974 so they’ve been around way longer than Labubus. (Even BLACKPINK’s LISA, who was hailed as the person who popularized the Labubu trend, was recently seen carrying a Monchhichi.)
'MY MELODY' EDITION
Monchhichi Chimutan x Sanrio UO Exclusive Plushie Keychain
$35 Buy Now AT URBAN OUTFITTERS
This plush toy bag charm features Monchhichi’s best bud Chimutan dressed up in a My Melody costume.
My Melody is the female rabbit character created by Sanrio, while Chimutan is also a bunny-eared character from the Monchhichi franchise (the actual monchhichis of course, are baby monkey-inspired). This bag charm measures just over five inches in height and comes with a plastic clip to let you attach it to a purse, backpack, use it as a keychain or clip it to your belt.
KUROMI EDITION
Monchhichi x Sanrio Kuromi UO Exclusive Plushie Keychain
$35 Buy Now AT URBAN OUTFITTERS
This version features a Monchhichi doll dressed up in a Kuromi costume.
While Kuromi normally sports a black hood, this Sanrio collab softens the mischievous “little devil’s” look with fuzzy grey ears and a pink skull topper. This one measures approximately 5.3 inches in height.
Both of the above two plush keychains are available exclusively online at UrbanOutfitters.com and like all Monchhichi collectibles, they are selling fast. We recommend picking up your My Melody or Kuromi bag charm while the two are still available.
FOUR OPTIONS
Monchhichi Fruit Beanie Plushie

Urban Outfitters also has this collection of colorful plushies, which reimagine Monchhichi as sweet fruits.
Measuring 5.5 inches in height, these are regular plush toys rather than bag charms or keychains. Choose from blueberry, banana, watermelon or orange-themed Monchhichis, each with an accompanying fruit-printed bib. And yes, these aren’t blind boxes, so you can actually select the character that you want.

SITTING VERSION
Monchhichi x Hello Kitty Costume Plush Doll
You can also pick up this sitting version of the Monchhichi x Hello Kitty collab, with the red, white and blue colorway of the Sanrio character mixed with a brown Monchhichi-style hood.
A “Monchhichi x Hello Kitty” logo is printed on the plushie’s foot. This one measures seven inches in size. See more Monchhichi options on Amazon.com.
LISA isn’t the only celebrity Monchhichi fan by the way: the viral plush toys have also been seen on musicians reportedly like BTS’ j-hope and Marquise from the KATSEYE-spawning show, Dream Academy. Fashion designer Sandy Liang also designed a collection for the cult Japanese toy monkey.
