The lobster is cute, but not realistic. First, it's red, and for a lobster red means dead. Lobsters only turn red when cooked. Lobsters also have two different sized/shaped claws, a crusher and a pincher. As the daughter of a Maine lobsterfisherman who spent my summers growing up fishing as well, I wanted to find a realistic lobster for my own kids. This is about as close as I've found, but I'd love if they made it more realistic. I know a real lobster isn't that cute, but at least the correct color and claws would be great.
