Soon to be released by Japanese novelty goods maker Cube is a pair of cute Captured Alien Eco Bags. These bags help reduce waste and make you look like you’re dragging a little green man away to a secret facility in Roswell, New Mexico. It’s win-win!
The makers recommend the bags to be used by two people wearing trench coats to recreate the famous alien photo from the 50s, as seen below. Actually this photo was a hoax created by super imposing a shaved monkey over some object the pair were pushing.
The bags are 96 cm long including the dangling legs but can fold up in to the head for easy storage. You can also use the zipper head as an extra pouch or to conduct your own alien autopsy.
And of course, the bag is reusable so you can wash it by putting it in a jar of soapy water.
The bags are set to go on sale in early July, priced 998 yen (US$10) each. Two types are available, bright green or grey. So why not do your part for the environment and catch a little alien of your own?
