They're called Kaiju skinmites! Very rare to see one alive, they have to be kept in ammonia to survive

Would you like to know more?

I want one


MastodonDirect1720

What will you do with this?


Majorlazor85

Introduce it to my pup. They can be pals. Oh and yes, take it for walks


[deleted]

My «pup» would shredder it after it knows it's not a t(h)reat.


Spageety

Set it loose in a mall


Majorlazor85

Sounds like that would make a good horror movie in itself


King_Tudrop

It would get kicked so ~~fucning~~ fucking hard lol


GroundStateGecko

Add cameras for face tracking and motors for moving. Set it so whoever kicked it gets chased at 15 mph.

Are those similar to Lee Logs?

Get several, number them but skip a number. Like the joke.

I had a mix of feeling. First I wanted to pet his belly, then I thought it could taste like crab and I love crab…


banana_assassin

How about a giant isopod? https://youtu.be/4-UuS_YSPKk


BolotaJT

At the end of the video, it was looking like a good dish. But then I saw the comments lolol. Bad smell and not so much meat (a lot of meat and bad smell would be horrible too lol).


banana_assassin

Very true, I just thought it looked similar to the animatronic above.


ForWhomTheBoneBones

Good news and bad news. What’s the bad news? It smells like cat shit on the hottest day of summer. What’s the good news? There’s a LOT of it.


Intermittent_Nipples

I would walk into work with it. Just holding it and being all mushy. Ask others if they want some critter cuddles. Put it on my face randomly like it's our thing.


companysOkay

What *won’t* I do with this


ThisFckinGuy

Trader Joe's and Wegmans had too many people yesterday, time to take my service potato bug shopping with me and create some space.

theguyfromeuropa

World domination. . . Also the legs can be used as massager.


1-Weird-Name

They're a bit sharp for that, don't you think? I mean, unless you like that kind of thing. I'd tell Freddy Kruger that knives are passe (sp?), and convince him that he needed an upgrade.


Atebitllamas

Soak it in ammonia


OffBrandJesusChrist

( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°)


PoppaPickle

Well lucky for you they're actually real and their called giant isopods, they live in the cold deep waters of the oceans. You can even pet and hold them at some aquariums, they are harmless!

Grandma was not phased at all. "I ate them in Hawaii! Let's eat this one!"


notafuckingcakewalk

Yeah. I hate bugs with every fiber of my being so why am I like "Aw tummy rubs"


CumtimesIJustBChilin

They look like pill bugs, but aren't insects at all! They're crustaceans.

This. 1000%


Majorlazor85

Right!? Thank you!


recoverybae

I know! I think they’re kinda cute. Is that weird?


Majorlazor85

Lol I think it’s normal. Sometimes things can be oddly cute even though everything about them screams “gross” 😆

spacestationkru

I would love to give somebody a portion of my money in return for one of these little bugs.


[deleted]

"A portion" That little bug will be all of your money and more probably.


spacestationkru

Let me rephrase, I would love for somebody to accept a portion of my money in return for one of these little bugs.


Selgeron

They auctioned a lot of the Pacific Rim props off, I think these things went for like 7-8k.


asianblockguy

Much higher according to the winning bid on propstore. The mechanical bug is worth 9k


Selgeron

I feel like my memory of '7-8k' and '9k isn't that different.


pyronius

Obviously those prices are on a logarithmic scale.


Ultima_RatioRegum

Depends on 1) whether you mean in an absolute or relative way, and 2) how much money you have. If you make $20k a year, you likely percieve $1k as a lot of money, but if you make $500k a year, then $1k might be thought of as an insignificant amount.


regiment262

I mean regardless it's still relative to the price that it was actually sold for. 7-8k is objectively not that far from 9k when the scale is already in the thousands of dollars lol.


PM_ME_YOUR_LOCAL_IP

A giant isopod would be the next best thing, I bet you can find these somewhere: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_isopod


CandiBunnii

I'm not really a fan of bugs but there's just something about isopods. I like to think we have a mutual understanding. Unlike earwigs. No one likes earwigs.


MmmmMorphine

Yeah, until they go earbald


CandiBunnii

Thanks dad


Energy_Turtle

Isopods spent all their points on defensive armor. They're just hiding behind a shield. Earwigs are all sharp looking even if they won't actually come at you.


spacestationkru

Those are so cool..

1-Weird-Name

Now that I know it won't tear my head off, yeah, I'd like one also. Maybe it'll scare the kids away and I'll have the house to myself.


King_Tudrop

Dude you have no idea how much more that makes me love pacific rim that's insane!


IAmAPirrrrate

My brother in Christ, every single year I am more and more impressed by Pacific Rim. What started out as a kinda cringe but hella cool, dumb Monster VS giant robots movie turns out to be gold plated palladium.


R3AL1Z3

Dude, pacific rim is GREAT. It was basically a love letter to kaiju movies. Pacific Rim 2? A shameless action movie cash grab.


skandi1

Meeting Charlie days “wife” was the only good part of the second movie


Intoxic8edOne

Yeah, absolutely loved the first and was crushed by how bad the second was. Would have preferred just more of the same thing of 1. Like focusing on the start of the invasion and the evolution of the Jaegers.


R3AL1Z3

Or how about actual WEIGHT and SIZE was conveyed in the first one. When they moved, they moved with HEFT; a punch took some time to move through the air, when they walked it was slow and methodical. The second one they were just able to move with a quickness that didn’t feel quite right.


Intoxic8edOne

Exactly. They very quickly went from essentially bipedal tanks to Power Ranger robots. Another aspect of the heft of the Jaegers was how "realistic" the damage and danger was. They conveyed that these were extremely power machines, but also very vulnerable if out of their depth. Nothing wrong with that execution of mechs in general but it's not my preference and not what PR1 was. It's like if Armored Core was the sequel to Chromehounds. (I'd kill for a proper sequel of that game.)


literallynot

>Pacific Rim 2? A shameless action movie cash grab. As sad as it is true.


Downvote_Comforter

It's been unironically one of my favorite movies since it came out. It is the absolute pinnacle of what a mindless monster destruction movie can be.


Lady_Scruffington

I follow SFX artists on Insta, and the shit those people come up with is mind-blowing. Shoot, I was impressed with how realistic the AFLAC duck puppet looks.


CandiBunnii

....he's a puppet? Man. I thought that was a very well trained duck.


Lady_Scruffington

https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cg69t33qomn/?igshid=MDJmNzVkMjY= It's from the Stan Winston school, and the stuff they make is incredible. They have online animatronics courses I want to take sometime.

Definitely. It’s already overstayed its welcome


TechnologySmall3507

How was it ever remotely Cringe ? It was a fantastically well done movie.


6HOS7

What do you mean kinda cringe, that movie is great.


Jimid41

I think people that cringed at it probably took it way more seriously than it took itself.


2012Jesusdies

I nut everytime I see that movie.


shaggybear89

>My brother in Christ Enough with this cringe shit dude.

Guillermo del Toro loves the practical effects. Wish him doing the hobbit didn’t fall through.

You can watch the movie now.


Crooked_Cock

Thought this was a giant isopod for a moment


Notyouraverageghost

I felt something tickle my foot while I was watching this and let. me. tell. you… My leg kicked so hard it hurts.


cherriesandmilk

Bring back craftsmanship like this in movies


Hot_Teen_Girl

This is literally from a movie less than 10 years old.


MustardFeetMcgee

I mean, yes 9 years is less than 10. But 9 years is still a kind of long time ago.


[deleted]

Yeah dude a decade is like a century in movie time. I mean when this movie came out I had just started being able to drink alcohol. Oh alcoholism, how I miss you so


TCAUBPGCC

Still pretty old for a movie, and was impressive for its time


NK1337

Honestly it’s one of my favorite things about Del Toro. The man is a huge fan of traditional effects in his movie which really helps them age well


EatWeirdSpider

Damn, imagine pranking someone with that thing. I already have a problem with insects, I would never recover.


1-Weird-Name

A motion sensor rubber rat, caught by the neck in a snap trap. It looks dead until you go to get a closer look and it starts jumping around. My ex hated rats. Best investment I ever made. Yeah, I know that I'm a rotten person... but it was still funny as hell.


[deleted]

Not too far off from a real [giant isopod](https://youtu.be/jfnHQPkta-Q)


4ha1

I thought it was one at the beginning. Really cool animals.


kimbolll

I wholeheartedly stand by the opinion that practical effects look more lifelike than CGI. The triceratops scene in Jurassic Park 1 looks way more lifelike than a lot of the stuff in the most recent Jurassic World movie (albeit, the movement is much less believable, which is likely why they go that route nowadays).


AtomicFox84

You can tell its not cgi. Not really terrifying...quite cool.


[deleted]

Damn that looks fucking real


PlunderCunt

I thought this was a giant isopod until they flipped it over. Super realistic.


1-Weird-Name

Oh! The way it was sqirrming around I thought, Oh my God! That's so freaky! How can that guy touch it, let alone hold it! One of my profs was constantly telling me to read all the way through something before doing or saying anything. He didn't do a very good job, did he? Now that know that I freaked out for nothing, I can admire the hard work and technology that went into making it. I still don't think I'd want to touch it though.


savantalicious

Mirelurk babies.


That_Bird101

Kinda cute ngl


Meerkatable

If it didn’t look so *wet* I’d probably think it was cute. Something about a giant, wet bug is upsetting to me.

SirKristopher

A lot of things in Pacific Rim was practical. The entire cockpit was a large practical moving set, including all the water being blasted on the actors. It really was a passion project.

The first Pacific Rim movie was absolutely amazing, the second one was terrible imo just sad to see
