Currently that white bulky mechanical part where I put the batteries inside is way too much of an eyesore and I hate having to gawk at it whenever I unzip the purse to take my belongings out. In its current state it's mostly a novelty plush on a lanyard and (by my personal standards) I can't regard this as a real purse. Even at its current price range ($31+) it hardly feels worthwhile keeping. More likely than not I'm going to end up returning it since I also didn't like how creased up the fabric is on the front nor did I like how bent up and creased up the left ear was, it may be a tad bit nitpicky of me, but for me those hiccups were enough to ruin the overall aesthetics of the design and had the purse arrived in a more sightly manner I would've kept it regardless of the lack of space since the novelty of it is cute enough.
From a different perspective, I feel like this Hello Kitty interactive plush would be an item that I would be willing to gift to a friend who's an avid Sanrio collector as long as their intentions were to place it on display in their room, since to an individual like them the hobby along with the sentimentality and the collectibility would override the futility of the purse. If anything, I would definitely recommend waiting until this novelty plush purse gets marked down to at least the $10 - $15 dollar range since currently the limitations in terms of storage is way too ridiculous.
Overall, I really wished that this listing had an accurate photograph that showed just how lacking in internal space this purse is and how bulky the machine inside it is as well. Had I previously been aware of how clunky/undersized this item was and how creased up it would arrive... I definitely wouldn't have bothered purchasing it for myself in the first place from Amazon. I definitely feel like this item would be best if it's purchased in person at a local supermarket store ????(ㅎᴗㅎ ) Sprawlmart currently has them on their shelves and the way the product is displayed is in a more airy/less cramped manner than it's shipped on this platform. So most likely I'll try to snag myself the Hello Kitty purse once I notice the price has been marked down at Sprawlmart. For now I'll be leaving a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ rating since I'd like for a Kuromi Purse Pet to be made in the future.

☆ (⌒)―(⌒)⠀If the character had been Kuromi I would've purchased it and kept it in the box for the collectibility, however since it's Hello Kitty I was planning on using it to hold my beta blockers, my two epipens, a pepper spray bottle, two travel sized Vaseline containers, a fidget toy, my inhaler, hello kitty bandaids, a pocket knife, etc. Obviously only the two tiny Vaselines, a 1.5 ounce pepper spray, and my two epipens fit (but it misshaped the purse since it was a cramped fit). I was also slightly concerned that the mechanics would potentially overheat my epipens if I didn't turn them off and decided to keep the purse active all day, so in it's current state this purse is lack luster and the novelty of it doesn't allow me to turn a blind eye to its miniscule size nor to the creases in the fabric. If anything, this Sanrio plush could make a cute giftable to an age appropriate child since they may not have the need to carry as many things with them as an adult would and the fact that it's so interactive would amaze them. My Hello Kitty purse had a slight defect where when I pressed/rubbed its forehead it wouldn't respond like it's meant to so that's another reason why she had to be returned back. I do think these are cute, but I'll have to get Hello Kitty from a local vendor so I can inspect it and make sure that she's in working order and that she's in perfect condition since I'm too much of a stickler when it comes to Sanrio products and their overall aesthetics.
P.S: OMG! ✨ I feel so validated! ????????????
They followed through and made a Kuromi version
I'm really happy that they finally have her as a purchasable option, but unfortunately I can't afford to buy her so I'm feeling disheartened. ????
