Blind boxes were fun for a minute, with people pulling mystery Labubus and unboxing pop culture merch from sealed packages, but they weren’t always great if you had your sights set on a particular plushie or object.

The whole point of a blind box was a random unveiling, meaning you wouldn’t know what you got until you ripped open the package, and while that was fun to witness, it also left a lot of people with the same piece over and over again (take it from me, who kept pulling Grumpy Bear from this Care Bears blind box even though all I wanted was a Cheer Bear).

Fortunately, there’s a way to get what you want now, with Urban Outfitters’ new Monchhichi bag charm collection.

The retailer has a number of plushie keychains available as part of the Japanese brand’s collaboration with Sanrio.

Real ones know that Monchhichis were created by the Sekiguchi Corporation back in 1974 so they’ve been around way longer than Labubus. (Even BLACKPINK’s LISA, who was hailed as the person who popularized the Labubu trend , was recently seen carrying a Monchhichi .) 'MY MELODY' EDITION Monchhichi Chimutan x Sanrio UO Exclusive Plushie Keychain $35 Buy Now AT URBAN OUTFITTERS This plush toy bag charm features Monchhichi’s best bud Chimutan dressed up in a My Melody costume.

My Melody is the female rabbit character created by Sanrio, while Chimutan is also a bunny-eared character from the Monchhichi franchise (the actual monchhichis of course, are baby monkey-inspired).

This bag charm measures just over five inches in height and comes with a plastic clip to let you attach it to a purse, backpack, use it as a keychain or clip it to your belt.

KUROMI EDITION Monchhichi x Sanrio Kuromi UO Exclusive Plushie Keychain $35 Buy Now AT URBAN OUTFITTERS This version features a Monchhichi doll dressed up in a Kuromi costume.

While Kuromi normally sports a black hood, this Sanrio collab softens the mischievous “little devil’s” look with fuzzy grey ears and a pink skull topper.

This one measures approximately 5.3 inches in height.

Both of the above two plush keychains are available exclusively online at UrbanOutfitters.com and like all Monchhichi collectibles, they are selling fast.

We recommend picking up your My Melody or Kuromi bag charm while the two are still available.
