There are a lot of things that can help to correct your posture if you spend prolonged periods sitting at a desk: ergonomic chairs, desks, posture-correcting clothing... or a slouching cat figurine.
The collection of slumped-over desk accessories are made to sit next to your computer and make you more mindful of the way you're sitting. As well as a series of cats in hunched-over walking and sitting positions, Bandai is also releasing some perfectly postured cats with straight backs, but the coloring of these four secret cat figurines in the collection remains a mystery. The desk toys are set for a release on June 24th, available from Gachapon machines. Since Gachapon is based on luck, frequent players know the frustration of getting stuck with an unwanted toy, but this is one instance where getting a hunchback toy is a win.
