seems a bit overkill.
injection molded plastic is fine by me. i know what onigiri or kappamaki look like well enought to tell from the little plastic “samples” in the window that is what is offered inside.

My unpainted Ravenwing squadron would have some lovely sushi to keep them company in the back of my hobby closet I suppose…
I feel like you’ve cruelly tapped into an aspirational side of my psyche here that my inherent laziness can never live up to! I also feel that the cucumber rolls you linked to look like even more fun, and at this point it’s probably only the tariffs that are keeping me from following your links.

It’s Japan; needlessly complex is a given.
Working on this. Although it’s a Chinese manufacturer, it was clearly made for the Japanese hobby market. So. Many. Pieces! Why so many pieces? Because they can.

Or if you’re lazier and have lots more money, how about one of Gavin Turk’s bin-bag bronzes?

That’s cool!
I also learned something: I should try heating my silicone molds before resin casting. 
That’s crazy! Also, the Gundam is also really expensive. You can get it for about $21 at HLJ,
and $16 shipping (slow) so about $12 cheaper, maybe more if the site you screen shot also charged for shipping.
O_o ?!?!?!?!

I guess it’s appropriate that the narrator is an AI artifact. I imagine the music is too.

The music is the original. I’m not sure what’s up with the narrator; it’s definitely not the inimitable Brooks Moore, who was narrator on the Science Channel broadcasts.

This may be the (human) narrator for Canadian broadcasts (season 6 and on), Lynne Adams.

May be indeed. It’s already pretty tough to tell whether some voices are human. And AI ones are getting so real, AND ubiquitous, that disdain for them is fading fast.

I understand they were quite popular 25, 30 years ago.

Certainly was an odd way to peddle spices.

Everyone in the know realizes that two tigers are the ideal recommended dosage for emotional support. One leads to a tiger who becomes emotionally needy and dependent on the human, making it less functional. Two means they can bond with each other and take turns supporting the human and maintaining a healthy work/life balance for themselves. Three leads to jealousy as time with the tigers becomes difficult to distribute evenly. Four through six tigers leads to an unfair imbalance, as one or two tigers inevitably shoulder the burden of the workload while the others chuff off to the bar, trusting “someone else will take care of the human today.” Get seven tigers together and they will universally coalesce into a water polo team and the human isn’t even allowed to play goaltender.
