Sanrio Characters were added into Animal Crossing: New Leaf on November 2, 2016 as part of the Welcome Amiibo update. They are also compatible with Animal Crossing: New Horizons starting March 17, 2021 as of the Version 1.9 update.
Each character was turned into an Animal Crossing villager and has an RV and home filled with furniture related to their theme. The characters and furniture can only be obtained by scanning their amiibo cards and allowing them to visit your campground. The cards originally were specially ordered from Europe or Japan as they were not sold anywhere else, and could only be purchased online.
As of March 26, 2021, the set will be reissued and sold in select stores in North America, Europe and Australia. The reissue set will contain all six cards, unlike the original Japanese set which only has two per pack.
