Since I first saw footage of the Dreamcast game Seaman, I convinced myself that it was the sort of Dagonic propaganda that Lovecraft tried to warn us about. Of course, it was only a video game, and I had relatively little cause for alarm outside the extreme discomfort it caused me.
Now, I do -- as the horror is intense with this gnarled piece of 10-year-old Seaman "candy."
That looks suspiciously like a dormant fishman waiting for a fleshy human host. If you want to own this, it's available with a Space Channel 5 blowup figure in an auction on eBay. So far, the price is at $4.99 with four days remaining. Something tells me that if someone actually wants this, they won't be fighting to procure it.
Hit the jump for a look at the blowup figure.
I'm waiting for another Seaman game to make it to the US :) I should probably go back and "win" the first one though. I mismanaged the food and my Seaman died in the frog stage. Space Channel 5 wasn't my type of game so I didn't get far in that one. I never got the Seaman candy but I do have some Shenmue trading cards and a Crazy Taxi air freshener. Have you seen the Seaman postcard ad with a certain presidential aide? Maybe they went a little far sometimes but I miss the old quirky Sega. Current Sega wastes too much time and money on stuff like the weak Golden Axe remake and licensed crap. I know they still have an occasional great game (Valkyria Chronicles) but for the most part they seem to have lost their imaginations.
I'd still try a small nibble.
Wasn't exactly what I had in mind when I clicked to see a "blow-up figure" from Space Channel 5. Oh well.
@Alex: I would have said "doll" if it was the girl.
looks yummy... NOT!
