TOYS CABIN Liquid Cats Capsule Toys – The Shape-Shifting Felines Go Gachapon!
Japanese capsule toy manufacturer TOYS CABIN is set to launch an irresistibly charming new gachapon collection: “Liquid Cats”! Inspired by the internet’s obsession with cats squeezing into tiny containers, this fun series transforms these bizarrely flexible felines into collectible mini figures. Each spin costs 400 yen (approximately $2.75), and the series is scheduled for release in March 2025.
Are Cats Actually Liquid?
Anyone who has ever owned a cat—or watched viral cat videos—knows their incredible ability to fit into impossibly small spaces. Whether curling up inside a glass, melting into a box, or sprawling inside a bowl, cats defy physics with their fluid-like bodies.
This phenomenon became so famous that in 2017, physicist Marc-Antoine Fardin won an Ig Nobel Prize for humorously applying fluid dynamics principles to cats. His research, inspired by online discussions on Bored Panda, explored whether cats could be classified as liquids based on their ability to retain volume while adapting their shape to any container.
Now, TOYS CABIN is bringing this quirky concept to life with a delightful set of four mini figures, each depicting a cat snugly curled up inside a different container.
The Liquid Cats Gachapon Lineup
Each figure measures approximately 3.3 cm (about 1.3 inches) perfectly captures the playful contrast between the cats’ oddly distorted shapes and their completely relaxed, blissful expressions. The collection includes:
- Gray Cat in a Square Container 🐱⬛
- Orange Tabby in a Square Container 🐱🟧
- White Cat in a Round Bowl 🐱⚪
- Bicolor Tuxedo Cat in a Round Bowl 🐱⚫⚪
Each pose recreates the famous “cat physics” that has fascinated pet lovers and meme enthusiasts alike, proving once again that cats can take the shape of their container!
