What is the MegaHouse Sanrio KAITAI FANTASY series?

The KAITAI FANTASY series is a line of figures produced by MegaHouse, known for their 'cutaway' design that reveals the inner workings of a character in a whimsical, educational way. Each figure features a beloved Sanrio character with a visible 'anatomy' that includes playful, fantasy elements, making them a hybrid of art toy and collectible.

What sets this series apart is its attention to detail and the creative concept of 'taking apart' a character to see what's inside. This appeals to collectors who appreciate both the aesthetic and the storytelling behind each piece. While these figures are not blind boxes, they share the same excitement of collecting a themed set.

How does it compare to Sanrio blind boxes?

Blind boxes, like the TOP TOY Sanrio Characters Afternoon Tea Plush Blind Box, offer a surprise element with a lower price point, but the KAITAI FANTASY series provides a more detailed, display-oriented figure. The KAITAI figures are typically larger and more intricate, making them a centerpiece for any collection.

At NEKO STOP, we offer a variety of Sanrio blind boxes that capture the same spirit of collecting, but with a more budget-friendly approach.

What should you look for when buying art toy figures?

When purchasing art toy figures like the KAITAI FANTASY series, consider the material quality, paint application, and the overall design concept. Look for figures that are well-constructed and have a unique aesthetic that resonates with you.

Also, consider the display value: how will it look on your shelf? Some figures are designed for close-up viewing, while others are better from a distance. The KAITAI series is known for its intricate details, so it's best appreciated up close.
