A wonderfully put together index of every item available to collect/absorb/become in both Katamari Damacy and We Love Katamari, presented in a Windows XPish interface.

A lot of the roll-up items throughout the world of Katamari were made by students on a games design course run by Keita Takahashi. The aim was to create items with a consistent art style and with as few polygons as possible so it would be easy for a PlayStation 2 to render them properly when all glommed together in a giant Katamari ball. But the level of care and detail on these little models is quite extraordinary.

Andrew Boylan's interface has loads of options for downloading, searching, and viewing. Please enjoy a generated gif of this gangster car as an example:
