Lobsters have thinner legs than crabs and therefore making their legs for papermachee dolls is quite difficult.

papermachee dolls
Their eyes are quite protruding - me ga deru - as an auspicious pun with having good luck (眼が出る).
They look like an "old man from the sea" 海の老人 and show the origin of the Chinese character for EBI 海老.
