I have a Revoltech model of a crab, also jointed and posable. It’s excellent though i often wish it was more articulated than it actually is. I would guess that this one will be much of the same, select parts will be articulated but not all of it. I still recommend it if anyone is interesting in a high quality model of a wasp, either for personal interest/amusement (like me) or educational/academic purposes

You can get it a bit closer to MSRP from other import sites (depending on your yen to local currency conversion rates)

Such an unfortunate name. . . They are Asian giant hornets (Vespa mandarinia). Scary enough.

The model looks impressively accurate, but insects don’t do that …

Sadly it’s currently crabs only(edit: I think I glimpsed a lobster with rocket-punch for a second); but adding scorpions and murder hornets would almost certainly fit the theme.

Isn’t there something delightful about a game that just drops any veneer of concern for plausibility and moves to a strict policy of inclusion based on awesome?
Why is there a world of eternal war between crabs that are invulnerable except to being flipped on their backs? Because awesome. Why do they sometimes have lightsabers? Because awesome. Why do they have an adorable two-handed wielding animation for claymores rather than just taking the easy way out and having those be a different skin for the same animation as other swords? Because awesome.

It’s a golden age for indie/small studio games. One person can design,make and distribute a game without spending tons of time or money. We’re not limited to what the marketing dept. of some big studio thinks will sell five years from now. Getting a peek into so many imaginations is inspiring.
Here’s a game from the same studio that looks like Ace Combat meets fishing sim.

Goat Simulator most definitely comes to mind!
