  "account": "Urban Outfitters has launched a new collection of Monchhichi bag charms, allowing customers to choose their desired character without the mystery of blind boxes. The retailer collaborated with Japanese brand Sanrio to bring these plushie keychains to life. Two exclusive options are currently available online: a Monchhichi dressed as My Melody, and another in a Kuromi costume. Both keychains measure over five inches tall and come with a plastic clip for attachment to bags, backpacks, or belts. Additionally, Urban Outfitters offers a range of Monchhichi-themed plush toys, including fruit-shaped plushies and a Hello Kitty collab version. These plush toys are sold individually and are not blind boxes, making it easy for customers to select their preferred character.",
  "summary": "Real ones know that the Japanese plush toy was created back in 1974, so they’ve been around way longer than Labubus.",
