I can also confirm the Hello Kitty vibrator. I saw it in one of those skill tester things in Taiwan… along with a whole other bunch of goodies. Of course, this is the country that also has live crabs and lobsters in skill testers 🙂 ---

I remember being annoyed by Hello Kitty pencil cases back in elementary school about 20 years ago. Whoa! Hello Kitty and I are the same age. Wierd. ---

I can’t believe [this](http://www.dentrinity.com/ClarenceLai/Kitty.htm) is a licensed Hello Kitty product either. ---

I remember looking at Hello Kitty products (OK-for-kids ones, thank you) about 25 years ago in a department store in my hometown in the midwestern US, so it’s definitely been in the US for a while. I wanted a radio for work and ended up buying this one [http://store.yahoo.com/sanriostore/58112.html](http://store.yahoo.com/sanriostore/58112.html) in a store (for cheaper than the listed price) since it had the features I wanted - plus some strange part of my brain seems to like the Sanrio characters. At least Badtz Maru is a cool character. 🙂 (Speaking of which, I’m waiting for that poster to pop up in this thread.)
