100catsworld - Francesca (Sanrio)Francesca · Sanrio

Sanrio's 100catsworld collection introduces Francesca, one of the feline characters from this charming cat-themed merchandise line. Produced by Sanrio, the company behind Hello Kitty, this figure represents the whimsical aesthetic that defined the 100catsworld brand. 100catsworld was a Sanrio collection centered around a group of cat characters, with the main cat featured prominently across most merchandise. At least two other cats in the series, Nyamar and Eepin, have confirmed names. The collection was active from the early 2000s, with the trademark eventually changing from 100catsworld to 100cats around 2002-2003. Merchandise under the 100cats name continued to be produced until at least 2007, making these figures nostalgic collectibles from Sanrio's broader catalog of character franchises. Francesca stands as part of this lesser-known but beloved Sanrio line, appealing to collectors who appreciate the company's wider range of characters beyond their most famous properties.
