Disgusting: The GUMMI-X toy kit is an edible insect maker
Posted on January 13, 2010 | No Comments
What Japanese toy maker Megahouse is offering here is truly disgusting: A toy kit that you can use to form edible insects made of juice and other liquids. The so-called GUMMI-X [JP] is geared towards teenage boys, but it has the potential to seriously freak out certain adults, too.
Users will be able to create a total of four exotic insects and such that they can put into their meals. Choose between stag beetle, the Japanese rhinoceros beetle, the especially disgusting pill bug and the Procambarus clarkii, a freshwater crayfish. Other animals, a frog for example, are sold separately.

Reasons: It looks creepy, it can speak, its eyes and mouth can move and Takara Tomy says it even has a personality and "blood type" (seriously).
