| I've just got this from Collecta: "One of my personal most favourite new items is the King Crab. They are sometimes called "Monster Crab" simply because of their size. They can reach a carapace width of 28 cm and a leg span of 1.8 m. Because of their large size and the taste of their meat, many species are widely caught and sold as food. Take a close look at the original sample when we show the models at the next trade show. This figurine looks amazing!" [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] |

| This is a very unique choice for CollectA, I think I'll have to grab one. _________________ -"I loathe people who keep dogs.

| Wow, this does seem like a very out-there choice for CollectA, but, especially considering the size of the actual animal, a very welcome one! Now I can finally get a CollectA arthropod that isn't significantly out of scale with the rest of my collection! And also, there's little doubt a certain person here will be happy to see a new arthropod in CollectA's lineup

| Outstanding! A major company adds a crustacean to their 'Sea Life' line (I am not considering Safari's Incredible Creatures line analogous to their Sea Life Line). I have several representatives of this species, but I will get this one for certain!!!

| I think it is a good decision from CollectA and actually they choose a huge species this time. Not being the largest specimens known, Wikipedia shows this one. |

| A great addition to my ark! Can't wait to have it! _________________ Even the saints have been known to employ comedy to ridicule the enemies of the faith.
