So about those "cut" statues...

Ugh.. this is warming my black little stone heart. That thing is freakin' cute.

Merch location is near completion. When it's at 100%, Sanrio will green light M&G.

I will never darken the door of that building...

...well, that is just cute, as i'm happy to see the project wrap up work.

You and I both Of course I shouldn't say that because then I will be doomed to have my second daughter actually like this kitten. My oldest was never into it and hope the second follows suit.

I really like the Hello Kitty statue with the handprints. I took a picture with her handprints on soft opening day (2/22/16).

Any thoughts/knowledge if it will be a permanent statue or not? If not, I'll have to go back soon to get another picture.

The poles in the ground suggest it's not going anywhere.

I kind of wish they would've put the "Statue" on the lawn in front of the store as this sticks out a bit much and breaks the brick pattern, but I can see why Sanrio would want it there. Overall it's whatever, not like i'll go in there (save for maybe the bakery) anyway.

I will and have, when you are headed out the side entrance from Hollywood it makes a great cut through to save some steps.

Went into the store yesterday and literally only one other person was in the shop while the rest of the park was near packed.

I darkened the heck out of that doorway today. There's some cute stuff but I need more of Kitty's friends if im going to buy anything. There's some stuff of her friends but mostly it's just Kitty herself.

And it is cute and well done, and no less abandoned than the Lucy thing it used to be was.

And the statue now has red velvet ropes around it.

Looks like the meet and greet will officially start tomorrow. Saw this posted on the UOAP Facebook (by the Universal employee who runs the page, just to clarify that it wasn't a random AP holder).

 

[WAJAS]

I'm assuming that this will be a roaming sort of meet and greet like those in Hollywood in the morning because I don't see where a Town Square Mickey Mouse type meet and greet would go.

Paid Kitty a visit this week and witnessed a shop filled with guests going gaga and making hefty purchases. This might not appeal to me but it clearly does to others.
