The crab, which is 26 feet long and around 15 feet tall, made its debut at Burning Man last summer before returning to Humboldt and resting in pieces at Spaulding Construction. “It all disassembles," says McCauley. "The main shell breaks apart in four sections … the legs individually pull off.” Those legs articulate, too, and the pincers snap.

Staff from the show put out the call for potential antique picks via email, saying, "we are looking for different, unusual and unique items too — something we’ve never seen before and with an interesting story!" That said, the crew doesn't visit "stores, malls, flea markets, museums, auctions, businesses or anything open to the public."
