Japanese toy company Kenelephant (ケンエレファント) previously announced several new capsule toy releases for December 2021. This article brings you the official details for the highly anticipated "Cats in the Dark" (暗闇の猫達) series!
Imagine a pitch-black abyss, and you spot a faint glimmer, thinking it's a guiding light. As you draw closer, you realize it's the piercing, luminous eyes of a cat! This "Cats in the Dark" capsule toy collection perfectly captures that eerie yet captivating theme, featuring feline friends whose eyes appear to glow in the darkness. The series includes four distinct fur colors: Black, White, Kijitora (Brown Tabby), and Sabatora (Mackerel Tabby). Each cat is sculpted in a charming, curled-up pose with meticulously detailed fur textures. What makes these figures truly special is their built-in LED light-up function; simply press a button, and their eyes illuminate! Each cat's glowing eyes emit a different color, adding a fun, mysterious touch. However, Kenelephant has noted that the batteries are non-replaceable, which means the light-up feature will eventually cease, a minor drawback for an otherwise fantastic collectible.
