The collection includes five iconic Sanrio characters, each lovingly designed to replicate the meltingly soft and cute Funyumaru illustration style:
- Hello Kitty – The classic icon of Sanrio, curled up and ready for a nap.
- My Melody – Adorably resting with her signature pink hood and a dreamy smile.

Each figure is approximately 3.5 to 4 cm (Approximately 1.4 to 1.6 inches) in length, making them the perfect size for desks, shelves, or even pocket-sized companions.
