Fast food chain KFC’s latest collaboration with Mofusand (KFC x Mofusand), the beloved Japanese cat illustration series, hasn’t just sparked a frenzy among collectors, but also among scalpers as well.
Shortly after the release, keychains from the collection were listed on Carousell for up to S$50.
The keychains originally cost S$12.95 with the purchase of certain meals.
The limited-edition Mofusand cat keychains, available with the purchase of a Cereal Chicken or Cereal Chicken Burger box, have been spotted on Carousell for up to four times their original price.

Similarly, the red packets, which are complimentary with any purchase of Cereal Chicken or Cereal Chicken Burger bundles, were also listed for up to S$12.
Likely in anticipation of the popular demand, KFC had put in place a queue ticket system before the launch on Monday (13 Jan).
However, many customers still took to KFC’s Facebook page to voice their disappointment and displeasure.
One netizen lamented the lack of stocks for the campaign.
