This is an original, vintage "Kero Kero Keroppi" soft vinyl piggy bank manufactured by Sanrio in the late 1980s. It is an authentic item, with the ©1988, 1989 SANRIO CO., LTD. stamp on the waist. The main feature of this item is its early design, where the red and white body and the lower leg parts separate, allowing money to be inserted and removed from the joint. This structure had a short production run, and due to frequent damage and missing parts, very few complete examples are believed to exist today. Looking at recent trading markets, flea markets, and auction sites, there are very few examples of this item being listed or traded, and almost no results can be found through searches. This is not due to a lack of demand, but rather the rarity of surviving original items. The condition shows signs of aging, such as scratches, minor blemishes, light soiling, and slight cracking typical of soft vinyl, but there are no critical cracks or significant missing parts. Both the body and leg parts are present, and the detachable structure is intact, making this a highly collectible item. It has been cleaned and coated with silicone. This is a piece with historical value, showcasing the unique design, material feel, and specifications of the 1980s, distinct from current products and mass-produced items from the 90s onwards. Recommended for collectors and those looking for 80s Sanrio or Showa retro soft vinyl items. 【Size】 Height: Approximately 9cm Width: Approximately 9cm Depth: Approximately 5.5cm *Please note that there may be slight variations due to the three-dimensional nature of the item. *This item is also for sale on other platforms, and may be removed from listing without notice. For International Buyers: This is an original late-1980s Kerokerokeroppi soft vinyl piggy bank produced by Sanrio. It features an early detachable-body design and is considered a rare surviving example today.
