Many players might already own the Sanrio Amiibo cards that released in 2016 for Animal Crossing New Leaf. Luckily, the cards will still work and they can use them to summon the villagers in New Horizons.
How to get Sanrio items
By scanning the Amiibo cards at the Resident Services, you can invite the scanned villager to the campsite and unlock all of their collaboration items, eventually. These items can then be found in the Promotion tab of Special Goods in Nook Shopping.
Apparently, you’ll be able to scan only one villager and buy five items in a day. Hence, unlocking the entire Sanrio collection will at least take six days. However, scanning the villagers at Harv’s island is a quick way to unlock all the items right away.

Having said that, the Amiibo cards are a necessity if you want the Sanrio villagers to live on your island. Naturally, this is a bummer for millions of players who were looking forward to adopt these villagers.
