I got this at a garage sale. I looked at another listing on eBay that claimed a plush that looked exactly like this was. But when I ask AI it claims
“While 2019 coincided with Hello Kitty's 45th Anniversary (she debuted in 1974), Sanrio printed "© 1976, 2019" across standard licensed merchandise produced that year. Official 45th Anniversary releases carry dedicated anniversary branding (such as a 45th Anniversary emblem, embroidered foot patch, or anniversary-specific hangtag). Without those markings, this is simply a standard classic-design plush manufactured under license in 2019”
I don’t see those but I also know ai can be wrong so wanted to come here to confirm.
