(Hong Kong, 20 November 2007) Octopus Cards Limited will launch the first-ever Hello Kitty Plush Octopus tomorrow (21 November 2007, Wednesday). This latest Octopus innovation is the first electronic purse in the form of this popular cartoon kitten.
The Hello Kitty Sold Adult Octopus Key Ring Set comes in two designs, each with a choice of two outfits - an evening gown and a casual dress - in Hello Kitty's wardrobe, to satisfy her, or your love for change in style. In one design, Hello Kitty is dressed in a bright red ribbon cocktail gown, accompanied by a pink floral dress. In the alternative design, she is clad in a pink rose evening gown, accompanied by a rosy polka dot dress.
With the multi-functional key ring, you can attach the Hello Kitty Sold Adult Octopus to your tote bag, mobile phone, pocket video game player or MP3 player. A combination of high-technology, innovation, convenience, cuteness and trendiness, the Hello Kitty Sold Adult Octopus Key Ring will surely become the next must-have Octopus accessory for Hello Kitty fans.
Priced at HK$168 per set with no deposit or initial stored value, the Hello Kitty Sold Adult Octopus Key Ring Set will be available exclusively at all 7-Eleven convenience stores from tomorrow onwards while stocks last.
Like the Octopus card and other Octopus products, the Hello Kitty Sold Adult Octopus Key Ring can be used on public transport and at more than 5,000 retail outlets across Hong Kong. It can be linked to the Automatic Add Value Service and registered for the Octopus Rewards Programme to earn Reward$. It can also be reloaded at any Octopus distributors or retailers authorised to provide the Octopus add-value service.
