UFO Cow Abduction: Beam Up Your Bovine (With Light and Sound!) (RP Minis)

So adorable! My daughter was so excited about thislittle UFO. It's smaller than expected, which she loved it for being miniature. The UFO really does suck the cow up towards the space ship, all the while playing the perfect alien music. Haha! Really, it is super cute!

I bought this as a White Elephant Christmas gift. At the "Circle", my sister chose my gift. I don't know why. She KNEW it was the gift I brought. Our senses of humor are at least 180 degrees apart - maybe even more! This is EXACTLY the gift that she would stare at in stunned disbelief and amazement upon opening it. Everybody else would laugh at it and would laugh even more that my sister chose it, but she would just sit there and silently wonder WHY anyone would 1. BUY a gift like this, 2. GIVE a gift like this and 3. who would WANT a gift like this? So, (shake my head here) she chose it, opened it, we all laughed at it and the "circle" moved on. Next person, next gift. Two moves later, my nephew - the Presbyterian minister - "stole" it from my sister (his mother-in-law) much to her relief and to the loud laughter from everybody else. Nephew said that THIS really needed to be on his desk at the church. SO ... Definitely 5 stars because ... I don't know why. It's just the kind of thing that some people - people we all know - REALLY need. Just be warned; it is REALLY small. Even warned, I think that you will be surprised just how small it is ... but, yeah, it's still a 5-star item.

So whimsical and fun. I enjoyed this way more than I first expected. Full of lore and wonder.

Teeny, tiny but so much fun he asked me to order another one as a gift for the neighbor. The grassy knoll and the cone are more trouble than they are worth. It works best to just set the cow on a hard, level surface and beam 'em up.

The media could not be loaded. Perfect for my little project I randomly came up with! Got the trees from hobby lobby and the grass diorama from Make Market

The media could not be loaded. This is a cute little booklet about the the Moolats and their Planet needing methane from cows. Cute story and I like the way everything works. It's adorable.

This cool UFO item really made my day when it arrived. I had pre-ordered it before it was actually published. It comes in a cleverly illustrated box that is quite appealing. There is also a fun little story book that comes with it, that provides the backstory as to why the aliens are compelled to abduct cows that features some great illustrations. But the best part, of course, is the UFO that actually does abduct the bovine that comes with it! It took me a few tries before I figured out how to activate the UFO and then proceed with the abduction business, but, hey, had I read the instructions first I could have done it the first try (i.e., READ the brief and easy to follow instructions for the best experience). The small mound of grass that comes with this is perfect to nestle your unwitting cow upon for the abduction to come! No spoiler alerts, but the sounds the UFO makes when you make a "successful" abduction are quite fun to hear. It also makes a different sound if your abduction attempt is a fail. And yeah, the UFO itself lights up with some cool blue lighting effects, and also has the "shaft" of light to beam upon your bovine as you try to kidnap it. Lastly, there is a clear plastic "cone" that the UFO can rest upon, appearing to "hover" over your bovine, and thus is perfect to keep it on display to intrigue your friends when they come to visit. I had only one small problem, and that was the unit just did not operate at first despite following directions...I quickly opened the unit and inspected the batteries, and saw there was a small bit of corrosion between the batteries (these are button-cell LR44s AKA AG13s). A quick wiping away of this and all worked fine (but this is why things don't often have the batteries installed, so I'd recommend that the batteries be kept separate from the unit to avoid this, esp. for long periods of storage). I've owned a shop in the past that carried light up items such as these and it's just not a good idea to have the batteries pre-installed b/c leakage issues over time. You should easily be able to find replacement batteries when needed at the dollar store places, just be sure to bring the old ones with you in case you aren't sure about which ones to buy at the store as many of these button cells can look alike to the untrained eye.Overall, this is a great gadget, perfect for oneself, and a great gift for anyone that is into this genre of product. Great design guys, you really made a cool total package here!
