GIANT MICROBES
GIGANTIC WATERBEAR
TARDIGRADE (Hypsibius dujardini)

You can boil them!  You can freeze them (down to almost absolute zero!)!
You can dry them out for decades! You can expose them to radiation!  You can shoot them into space without the protection of a ship or suit!
AND THEY WILL SURVIVE!
BUT...they will look at you with those sad eyes asking,
"Why would you do that to me?  I'm CUTE!"
And...THEY ARE!
This has some scientists seriously asking...Could they be FROM space?
Stay tuned...
(But, whatever you do, PLEASE do NOT leave them on their backs...this makes them look like a pathetic dead armadillo...or is that just me?)
 
(ALSO...these WATERBEARS do NOT wear contact lenses...it just looks like that.  This is tape to protect their eyes from getting scratched before they get to you and move into their new home.)

All new materials ONLY

Stuffed with Polyester Fibers

Approximately 13" long, 11" wide, and 8" tall
(as it appears to sit, as shown in these photos)

Each Giant Microbes tag contains a photo of the actual microbe, taken through a microscope,
as well as educational (and FUN!) information inside.
 
Giant Microbes--a million times actual size!
For anyone with a healthy sense of humor!

PLEASE NOTE: This listing price is for a single, GIGANTIC SIZE plush/stuffed microbe.  The REGULAR SIZE one shown in the 4th photo is for comparison size ONLY...it is NOT included!

IMPORTANT: When these are sent to us from Giant Microbes, depending on the quantity of our order, sometimes they are individually bagged and sometimes they are bulk bagged but NOT individually.  When we mail yours out, each WILL be safely wrapped inside either a factory-sealed bag or a new plastic shopping bag to help protect it from the elements as it travels to you.  As these are filled with polyester fibers, it can and will probably be packed tightly for shipping so if it appears a little "squished" when it arrives, it may just need to be shaken and "fluffed" upon removal from its mailing box.  PLEASE, for the safety of your new friend, do NOT cut or puncture the box with any sharp objects!

A NOTE ABOUT GIANT MICROBES:  We carry almost the complete line of Giant Microbes products (including many retired designs) and have since the company first began.  It is going to take a while for us to get them all up and listed on here but we ARE working on it.  In the meantime...if you need any that we haven't listed on here yet, feel free to write and ask about our prices and availability.  Yes, we usually have plenty!

These are original, fully licensed designs that I am selling for $49.95 each which, unfortunately in this case (and unlike most of our other items), does NOT include free shipping in the U.S.  Due to recent changes in Postal rates and zone pricing, there is no way to include postage without grossly overcharging some...or most.  So, in our attempt to keep our price as low as possible, postage will need to be calculated for your specific location, resulting in a fair price for everyone.  Sorry, Guam, but at least you won't pay more than Alaska, Hawaii...or even California!  You can still combine this with other items that I am selling to receive a refund for each additional item after the first, once shipped, whenever possible.  This refund reflects my savings in postage fees by combining your orders and is based on the total weight of the items.  International buyers are also eligible for this multi-item discount (WHEN YOU USE THE SHOPPING CART FEATURE AND PAY FOR ALL OF YOUR ITEMS IN A SINGLE PAYMENT!) and are responsible for all additional fees for postage, customs, tariffs, and/or other import charges.  Any questions?  Contact me.
