Sonny Angel

Sonny Angel is the little cherubic boy figure who has quietly conquered shelves and phone-photo backdrops worldwide. Created in Japan in 2004, each palm-sized figure wears a different headpiece, a strawberry, a puppy, a carrot, a seashell, sorted into themed series like Animal, Fruit, Vegetable, and Marine. His unofficial motto: "He may bring you happiness."

They're sold blind-boxed, so you don't choose your Sonny Angel, he chooses you, which is exactly why collectors keep coming back for one more. Rare "secret" variants and limited seasonal releases fuel a lively trading community.
