Review: My 2 year old absolutely loves it! It's a firm rubber that's semi-posable, so he can easily move its arms. Its solid, so he can even play with it in the bath without me worrying about mold! It has the cutest (and creepiest) little face and the most beautiful paint job, he loves it so much 😁 totally worth the money, I'm genuinely shocked at the quality I received for what I paid Review: quality item, large, durable ## Features - This hermit crab sits on the tips of its pincers, ready to skitter across the sand - Measures: 4.75" W x 2.5" H - Recommended Ages: 3+ ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000NDRTVW | | Assembly Required | No | | Batteries Included | No | | Batteries Required | No | | Best Sellers Rank | #402,323 in Toys & Games ( See Top 100 in Toys & Games ) #14,203 in Toy Figures | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (455) | | Date First Available | 25 March 2012 | | Item Dimensions LxWxH | 12.7 x 9.3 x 6.6 Centimeters | | Item Weight | 150 g | | Item model number | 267529 | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | safari ltd | | Manufacturer recommended age | 3 months and up | | Model Number | 267529 | | Number of Game Players | 1 | | Number of Puzzle Pieces | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 12.7 x 9.3 x 6.6 cm; 150 g | | Remote Control Included? | No | ## Images ![Safari Ltd Hermit Crab - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/413qHwqf0dL.jpg) ![Safari Ltd Hermit Crab - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41GjometruL.jpg) ![Safari Ltd Hermit Crab - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41H0zpEMjJL.jpg) ![Safari Ltd Hermit Crab - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41VkmB+V-DL.jpg) ![Safari Ltd Hermit Crab - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41umXVwptjL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: How many does it come with** A: One.
