Let me share with you a journey of discovery.

Fell over this odd thing at the locale GameStop while buying my usual blind box stuff for my collections. What is this? Nothing on the box truly explains anything. A warning on the backside mentions it contains wheat.

Quite heavy though. No rattling. I am intrigued.

So I buy one and bring it home. Let’s have a look!

Okay, got the usual paperstuff and such, another box underneath.

Not… what I expected. What even is this? The mentioned wheat warning?

Oh dear lord, the SMELL!

What even is this?! This… some sort of… play dough? There’s NOTHING on the box nor any of the paper inside telling ANYTHING about what this is! Except ONE mention about keeping the… “Shaping compound” in a sealed container to avoid it dries out.

It’s is moist to the touch, unpleasant, and oh heavens above the smell. I rather not touch it.

What is this and whyyyy?! NOTHING anywhere explains anything. The imagery and even the shape of the box is about milk, so what is this and whyyyy?!

I don’t even.

At least the cat was wrapped in plastic to avoid touching the “shaping compound”, so I only have to wash the mouse and the tiny skateboard to get rid of that gunk.

Honestly not sure what I was expecting, but I’m highly disappointed. 

Why the little nook on the mouse? There’s nowhere on the board nor cat where to stick that nook in, not even to pretend the cat is holding it.

According to the paper his name is Scoops and he’s… Cathletic. 

There’s a website, LostKitties.com

It provides no further explanation. No franchise, not even a game or stats or any reason for why I would want this thing. It’s just for collecting. Still no explanation or excuse for the freaking “shaping compound”

Never again…

[Update] Yes yes, you people don’t have to keep inform me that gunk is supposed to be some kind of nasty off-brand play dough.

Another site seems to cite that it’s to shape things for the Lost Kitties. Still just calling it “shaping compound”.

It’s just too nasty to touch and smells too badly for me to imagine anyone wants anything to do with it.[/update]
