My introduction to Japan's Sanrio is not Hello Kitty as one might immediately expect, rather it's this dynamic duo, Patty and Jimmy. When we were kids, Hello Kitty was no yet conceived but I remember us having school supplies like bags, erasers and stationaries with the likeness of Patty and Jimmy. Unfortunately, the popularity of this tandem was superceded by the Hello Kitty which apparently cast them into oblivion. I guess kids nowadays are oblivious of this predecessor of their beloved Hello Kitty. I am thankful that I chanced upon this rare toy of Patty and Jimmy which inevitably threw me into a fit of nostalgia back in the day when they were the Superstars of Sanrio
