Panini Hello Kitty and Friends Sticker Album (Foto album) (2025)

Panini Hello Kitty and Friends sticker album (Foto album): 216 stickers numbered 001–196 and HK01–HK20, including 24 die-cut and 48 special-effect stickers.

Hello Kitty and Friends is the Panini Hello Kitty sticker album that first appeared in Italy in October 2025, according to the collector catalogue Paninimania, which lists it as «Hello Kitty and friends — Foto album»; Panini's Italian shop calls it the «Hello Kitty and Friends Sticker Album». It holds 216 stickers of the Sanrio characters in two runs: 001 to 196, and a separate HK01 to HK20. Panini Italia describes 24 of them as die-cut and 48 as special-effect stickers, and each packet holds 5. Paninimania gives September 2026 for the French release. ColleX lists all 216. What makes up the album (Panini Italia and Paninimania, read 6 November 2026): • 001–196 — 196 stickers in the main run; • HK01–HK20 — a separate run of 20 stickers marked HK; • 216 in total, 24 of them die-cut and 48 with special effects; • packet — 5 stickers; • starter pack — 40-page album, fold-out insert and 5 packets (25 stickers); • box — 36 packets. Inside, Panini names Hello Kitty, My Melody, Kuromi, Pompompurin and Keroppi among other friends, and builds the spreads around four themes: the sea, music, sport and travel. A fold-out insert, exclusive according to Panini, belongs to the trio of Hello Kitty, My Melody and Kuromi. Paninimania records Italian, French and Spanish editions of the album. Checklist and missing stickers. Panini does not publish official sticker names: its own missing-sticker service for this album lists numbers only, 001–196 and HK01–HK20, so the ColleX checklist uses them too — «Sticker 001» to «Sticker 196», «Sticker HK01» to «Sticker HK20». Paninimania marks which numbers carry the «Pixels» effect (24) and which are metallic (24); we have not found a second source for those numbers, so ColleX does not tag sticker types yet, and none of the sources we read gives the die-cut numbers. If you own the album, «Suggest a correction» lets you tell us what is on a number. Not to be confused with the Hello Kitty and Friends: Fun Together! trading cards — a separate Panini collection of cards, not album stickers — or with Panini's earlier 2024 album for Hello Kitty's 50th anniversary, a different album. Kinder and Burger King have made toys of these Sanrio characters too: Kinder Hello Kitty and Friends and Burger King Hello Kitty; what kids' meals hand out now is in Burger King toys right now. Another Panini sticker album in the catalogue is Italian Brainrot.
