I really want this so badly! Too bad I both can’t sew (except of course field wounds) and read Japanese. Maybe Ellie can help me out. Better yet maybe I can get several of them and combine them with a crocheted rotten fish carcass. Then Kevin, Peter, and I could have a few pints and reenact the below. Which makes me all wonder if anybody still does macromae.

cool fabric but not as colourful as the video. it shouldn’t be too hard to crochet the rotten fish though.
Craig,
It looks like this was done for an arts and crafts type project vs. a commercially available product.
here is the site as translated through Yahoo Babelfish:

There are some words and semantics that don’t turn well..but for the most part you can make out the intent, ec.
Johann and I are working on Tammy for this one. She looked at it and figured a plan out in about 5 minutes. Now Johann and I will have to do dishes for the next two months…but hey…
you can always get these, instead:

Also available for your crafty consideration, a plush Yeti Crab (Kiwa hirsuta).
Wow that video was amazing, and the size of both those crabs and the isopod, I actually have seen crabs that size before but not in their natural environment.
