Fancy an outsized silver or gold IPhone case in the shape of a giant peracarid crustacean?

Well, you can’t have one unless you’re quick (only 500 will be made) live in Japan (to which shipping is limited) and have between  €60 (silver) and €75 (gold) to spend.

TST Advance, which sells these cuddly peracarid crustaceans on Amazon for €25.75 (plus shipping from Japan) sez:

Giant isopods (daiogusokumushi in Japanese) are passionately loved by some people now in Japan. This giant isopod doll has become less grotesque than real ones. The doll has cute round eyes and is very soft and comfortable to the touch.

Quite.
