Abstract: Toy packaging is made up of two compartments. The first compartment removably contains a toy and the second compartment includes a breakable seal to removably contain a substance in the second compartment. When the breakable state is in a broken state, such as after a piercing element of the toy set enters the second compartment and breaks the breakable seal, the substance is dispensed from the second compartment into the first compartment where the toy is contained. The substance is dispensed onto the toy and obscures an overall appearance of the toy, at least partially. This creates a surprise element for the toy set since the user must remove the toy from the substance to see the toy.
