Ghost Shrimp Gashapon - Preorder, Ships May 2008

Japanese manufacturer Epoch opened up preorders for capsule toy kits that they translated as "Ghost Shrimp" but the creatures in the product photo are actually Brine Shrimp. Each kit includes a packet of salt, brine shrimp eggs, and algae-based food. To help users handle the powdery contents of each packet, a little spoon that's connected to a magnifying glass is also bundled. Instructions (in Japanese) offer basic details on caring for the shrimp and raising them to adulthood.
Preorders are welcome to ship in mid-late May 2008 at US$7.50 per kit which includes shipping by USPS Media Mail within the United States.
