These Giant Lobster Claw Gloves Are Entirely Nonsensical, But Who Cares?

Looking like discarded props from some 1970s B-movie about marine life next to the Xertex chemical plant, these Giant Lobster Claws from Firebox are uncomfortably realistic lookalikes. As for application, we can see these maybe being useful for waving around doors, cracking open smaller, more delicious lobster claws, or complementing a cozy sweater.

Novelty or practical? It's up to you. Slip your thumbs in the small claw cavity and perform a passable job at the age-old task of holding things.

Or you can do the Calvin and Hobbes thing and pretend to be an alien from the planet Zog, Zorb, or any of the numerous others he mentioned. For $37, the claw's in your court.
