This is the kind of thing that people who enjoy building their own insects might find wonderful. I wanted to write something funny about these... and then remind you that they were awesome, but the folks at gizmodo did too good of a job of that. Here you go:
Fans of meccano might enjoy this — a series of aluminium insect model kits to create your very own army of terror with which to send out and conquer the planet whilst you sit back stroking a luxurious cigar and smoking a fine white cat. Alas, these model kits don’t feature motorised parts, but they do look rather menacing nonetheless. Japan has something of an obsession with large insects and a popular pastime for many elementary schoolchildren in Japan is collecting stag beetles in the forest and making them “fight” each other — which was the inspiration behind Pokemon. These metal renditions are a nice way for older generations to rekindle some of their childhood, and could definitely act as an attractive paperweight or bludgeoning tool.
How informative. I want to smoke a fine white cat. Seriously, the mechanical bugs are awesome.
