Just last year, 7-Eleven Hong Kong released a pastel pink My Melody mahjong set with character tiles of the adorable bunny. It seems like Sanrio fans can’t get enough of cuteness, as the convenience store has just launched a Pompompurin version, featuring bright yellow tiles adorned with Pompompurin and his hamster, Muffin.
The mahjong set comes in a kawaii case designed with Pompompurin and Muffin waving at your mahjong kakis on the front. The design also showcases four-leaf clovers floating beside the pair, wishing you extra luck to get a rare man tai zi mo.
Instead of the standard flower and season tiles, Sanrio fans are treated to adorable illustrations of Pompompurin cheekily playing around. With these, now you’ll feel extra lucky when drawing a pai for a higher score to win.
Pompompurin designs are also etched on the back of each tile in yellow.
To ensure that your dry swimming goes smoothly, the mahjong set also includes a mat featuring Pompompurin and Muffin chillin’ together.
Fans can also look forward to more character designs on the wind indicator and dice sets highlighting Pompompurin’s different facial expressions.
The Pompompurin mahjong set is available for pre-order from now until 7 February 2023, while the pick up period at 7-Eleven Hong Kong stores is from 16 to 22 May 2023.
The full set retails at HKD$799 (~SGD$143.30). Just like the previous My Melody mahjong set, it’s available to purchase via a barcode on 7-Eleven Hong Kong’s website. Simply open the barcode coupon and scan to purchase at any physical store for payment.
That’s not all — a Pochacco version is also available at the same price during the same period. For Sanrio fans looking to collect all the characters, you don’t want to miss out on getting this pastel blue set to add to your growing collection.
Since 7-Eleven Singapore has always been treating us to adorable merch such as Spy x Family collectible cards and Disney ramen bowls, we’re keeping our fingers crossed that the Pompompurin mahjong set will make its way to our stores soon.
Stay tuned to our page or 7-Eleven Singapore’s website for potential news of this mahjong set arriving. Or if you’re planning a trip to Hong Kong soon, perhaps purchasing them can be at the top of your itinerary list.
