Alert for Those Who Received Their tokidoki for Onitsuka Tiger Orders This Week
For those of you who are upset that you didn’t receive the Tiger Toy in the box along with your tokidoki for Onitsuka Tiger orders this week, good news. Onitsuka Tiger accidentally left them out of the boxes, but tokidoki let me know that they will be shipping a Tiger Toy to everyone that bought the shoes via the tokidoki.it website at once.

Plushies!
Trendy Stars just let me know that they added the tokidoki for Hello Kitty plush toys to their shop (and they ship internationally for those of you not in the USA!).

The Hawaii tokidoki Bag Print Re-Release Plot Thickens
Ku`uipo let me know that the SAs at the LeSportsac store in Ala Moana re-confirmed that Spiaggia re-release is later this month. They also said that Famiglia will be re-released in July in limited bag styles, and Trasporto will be re-released in August. (Take this info with a grain of salt, since there are so many conflicting rumors about the re-releases out there right now!) The Ala Moana SAs also said that they will NOT be carrying the new line of 2008 tokidoki bags.

Tobi just updated with a few items from the summer tokidoki nautical collection, plus a good selection of watches (including styles that may have sold out before some of us could get their hands on them!).

The Sanrio online store has a big selection of tokidoki for Hello Kitty items up now, including some that I haven’t seen elsewhere yet outside of ebay. Thanks to Linda for the tip.

Lashonne let me know about two new tokidoki beach towels that she found on Yoox: one style for women and one for men. The photos don’t show much of the designs, but here are the little tidbits that they do show:

Alyson just pointed out in the comments that there is a list of where the tokidoki for Onitsuka Tiger sneakers will be sold available now. Click the white tiger in the upper right of the page for the list.

Erina let me know that Metropark put some tokidoki and tokidoki for Hello Kitty t-shirts on sale.

Karmaloop also has some tokidoki spring and older season clothing on sale if you scroll to the bottom of the page, and yup you can still get an extra 20% off with rep code SR426.

REMINDER: If you find tokidoki items on sale in your localized area, please feel free to add them to tokidoki sightings post. Sometimes I get too many e-mails to keep up with & can’t get to posting every sale, so feel free to post them there yourselves. You may also use this post for random tokidoki celebrity or TV sightings if you wish.

The full line of tokidoki for Hello Kitty clothing and tokidoki summer Nautical collection clothing is up now at Trendy Stars and The Giant Peach. These crab shorts are so cute!

Trendy Stars also just added some new tokidoki watches - the Solar Watch, the Pasta Mia watch, and this new one that I haven’t seen anywhere else yet:

And as some of you already noticed (thanks to nxdlamb & Lashonne for e-mailing me the heads up), the tokidoki.it store added this cute new Donutella t-shirt design:

Annnnnd - Tara let me know that the tokidoki.it store added the tokidoki for Onitsuka sneakers for pre-order too! There are 3 styles up so far:

EAST COAST
Krisha was at Macy’s Herald Square in NYC this past Saturday and took a bunch of field report pictures to share with us all. I’m not sure how quickly these items are flying off the racks, but thought these photos would be a fun addition to this post. (And eyewitness proof that this store DOES carry these items, for those of you getting rude SAs on the phone!)

WEST COAST
Kim in CA has this tokidoki for Hello Kitty field report to share:
I found the red shirts with the keyhole back (I GOT ONE! woot!), the light blue tube top, and the chain link crab print and more are all on sale at the Macy’s in South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa/Orange county.

Also I saw the black hello kitty & tokidoki hoodies and the all over print t-shirts at Metropark at the Spectrum in Irvine.

Here are two more rare tokidoki for Hello Kitty items that I have only seen in one place each so far…

tokidoki for Hello Kitty Cactus Sweeties top on tokidoki.it (thanks to Jessica for pointing out that they added more new stuff!):

tokidoki for Hello Kitty black tube top on JapanLA:

Trendy Stars just got a shipment in of the new Summer 2008 nautical themed tokidoki clothing, as well as a good selection of items from the tokidoki for Hello Kitty collection.  They now carry the full line of tokidoki mimobots too.

Here are two of the more rare tokidoki for Hello Kitty items that they received:

And here are a of couple highlights from the summer nautical collection:

Thanks to Jessica and cece for being the first to point these new items out! Anna also let me know that she found the first nautical top at the Ala Moana Macy’s in Hawaii and sent these additional pictures of it:

I have a bunch of tokidoki for Hello Kitty clothing updates that I am grouping together in this post.

First is a tokidoki for Hello Kitty alert for NYers that TokidokiAngel sent me:

tokidoki for Hello Kitty alert for NYers
Last night me and my bf went to Macy’s Herald Square and they have LOTS of Tokidoki for Hello Kitty stuff!

They have the:

• black short sleeve hoodie
• aqua tee shirt with Sandy and HK flocked on the front
• black tee with HK and the weenie roasting devil
• all over print white tee shirt with HK and Sandy and stuff
• tiered white, blue and red dress (the white looked more light-ish grey tho)

also lots of the new 80s print clothing.

There was a grey sweatshirt type halter top but I forget if it had HK on it or Sandy … I’m pretty sure it was HK. I haven’t seen this top anywhere online tho so it was a surprise.

Also, it’s Friends and Family week so if you have a coupon you can save 20%!!

Next, Donna sent me photos of her new Ciao Kitty Kiss Open Back Cap Sleeve Sweatshirt Top that she just received from The Giant Peach to share with those of us who may have missed it before it sold out lightning-fast. Donna thinks the sizing runs a little bit smaller than the regular tokidoki clothing line.

———-

And finally, in case you missed nxdlamb’s comments on an earlier post, she discovered two new tokidoki for Hello Kitty tops on eBay - a red Moofia + Hello Kitty t-shirt and a red and white striped top with Sandy on the front and Hello Kitty on the back that is super-cute. Has anyone seen either of these tops in stores yet?

As several of you have e-mailed to me and posted in the comments (thanks Jessica, Melissa, Lashonne, nxdlamb, and ariasmama - I’m a little behind and need to catch up again!), The Giant Peach just added 4 new tokidoki for Hello Kitty clothing items, including the blue t-shirt, black short sleeve hoodie, a t-shirt version of the all-over print tank top that we have seen, plus a new dress that we haven’t seen anywhere else yet. The Giant Peach’s photos show a better version of the colors of the all-over print (with the red looking correctly red instead of orangey).

Also, if you haven’t noticed it yet, I added the Tokidoki Reference Photos page and am working my way through getting all of the submissions added.

Reader Nicole just found pages on the Sanrio Japan website that show the latest pink, greeen, and black tokidoki for Hello Kitty items all in one place! We have seen many of these items on eBay recently but I thought it would be useful for everyone to have these links to refer to, so here they are:

• tokidoki for Hello Kitty Green
• tokidoki for Hello Kitty Black
• tokidoki for Hello Kitty Pink

Some of you already saw Christina point this out in the comments, but I thought I’d make a new post about it too - the tokidoki.it store just added the turquoise and black t-shirts tokidoki for Hello Kitty t-shirts.  Retail price is $48 each and it looks like they are selling out fast!

Found by Jessica on a German website called Zebraclub - it’s a new tokidoki Medusa Tee (one of the characters that will be on the upcoming Concerto Punk bags):

Found by Jennifer at the Ala Moana Macy’s in Hawaii - two tokidoki for Hello Kitty t-shirts!

Tara d. also found an all-over print tokidoki for Hello Kitty tank at Macy’s today:

This is a closeup of the tag:

Plus Tara just sent some additional pics & info - she also found a tokidoki for Hello Kitty hoodie at Macys:

In the pics above, she is wearing is the Medium size with the tank top underneath. Tara has this info to share with us about the fit of the new tokidoki for Hello Kitty clothing: “The tank and the Sandy t-shirt pictured above, run SMALL. Really small. The one pictured is a Medium, so if I were to buy this tank, I would get a Large (I’m a 36C). I love the fit of the hoodie. It reminds me of my Mozzarella Moofia hoodie (in Medium also). The hoodie kinda hugs the body, but doesn’t suffocate, it’s still a little bit loose. My waist size is 33″ and my hips are 37.” I stand 5′5″ and wear a size 6/8.”

Reader Line just let me know about a stash of new tokidoki for Hello Kitty items on eBay, including clothing and items featuring the new prints! (You might need to go to page 2 to see the newer prints.) Some of the pictures are poor quality, but from what I can tell the new items are extremely cute.

Another reader also let me know that at the San Francisco Sanrio store got their shipment of tokidoki for Hello Kitty items in yesterday, and after filling all of the pre-orders, “ALL ITEMS ARE STILL AVAILABLE - EXCEPT the purses!!! All purses have been allocated to wait lists only. However anyone can go to the store and pick up any of the small accessories, plush dolls, key chains, cell phone charms…”
