Yes — and with figure erasers that is not a given. Many are so hard that they roughen the paper rather than remove the line. These are made of a softer compound and work like a normal eraser, with the one drawback that a figure has no sharp edge. For large areas a rectangular eraser remains more practical; for a single letter, Cinnamoroll's snout will do.

A single eraser at three francs is not a present, it is a leftover. As a trio it becomes a small set you can put into someone's hand — and it covers the three best known characters of the range. Because each sits on its own card they can also be split up: one for the pencil case, one for the best friend, one for the advent calendar.

Hello Kitty needs no introduction — she has been around since 1974 and is the best known character of the Japanese house Sanrio. Kuromi joined in 2005 as My Melody's rival, with a black hood and a skull. Cinnamoroll is the white dog with the long ears he can supposedly fly with. Together they cover the three moods Sanrio works in: well behaved, cheeky and dreamy.

Every playground has a currency that is not money. Usually it is stickers, trading cards or exactly these erasers — small enough for a pencil case, divisible, and with a clear ranking: whoever holds the rare figure sets the rate. A set of three gives a child exactly the starting position it needs: one figure to keep and two to negotiate with.

For school-age children, for collectors and for anyone who likes stocking their pencil case. As a small birthday present, as advent calendar filling, as something brought back from a school trip or as a reward. Adults happily put them on the desk too — they rarely erase anything there but do their job as decoration.

• Do not give them to toddlers — the figures are small enough to be swallowed.
• Use the narrowest part of the figure for erasing, then you hit the line cleanly.
• Do not store them in direct sun or on a radiator, or the compound goes soft.
• Keep them away from coloured pens and highlighters, the colour soaks into the surface.
• For large areas keep using a normal eraser.
