In 2022, Funko POP! #1017 captured fans’ imaginations by fusing Badtz-Maru with Naruto Shippuden style, turning the spiky-haired penguin into an unlikely shinobi icon for Hello Kitty collectors.
Description
This Badtz-Maru;Itachi Uchiha 2022 Naruto Shippuden x Hello Kitty and Friends Animation POP! figure offered a crossover design that appealed to both anime and Sanrio collectors. The sculpt showed Badtz-Maru standing in a confident, front-facing pose with his trademark unimpressed expression, now styled after Itachi Uchiha.
Fans who focused on character mashups, exclusive-feeling designs and display presence found this POP! especially suited for the front row of a Naruto Shippuden x Hello Kitty and Friends shelf. Funko POP! #1017 came in standard POP! size and featured Badtz-Maru in a detailed black Akatsuki-style cloak with red cloud patterns and red trim, worn over a visible mesh-style undershirt.
The figure also wore a dark blue forehead protector with a silver plate and engraved leaf symbol across the band, giving clear Itachi Uchiha visual cues while keeping Badtz-Maru’s distinct beak, spiky head shape and simplified features. As an Animation POP!, it fit into standard POP! protectors and lined up cleanly with the rest of the numbered series.
Within the Animation category, this release sat at the intersection of the Hello Kitty media franchise and the Naruto Shippuden x Hello Kitty and Friends collaboration that launched in 2022. It targeted collectors who curated themed lines based on cross-brand partnerships and stylized anime designs rather than standalone characters.
