Going back to the 50s, Theremin circuits were some of the most popular circuit diagrams for DIYers. The Gakken mag is insanely cool, but yeah, by the point you're paying a markup for it I think you're wasting your money ... especially if you're trying to make something wearable, you'd want the flexibility anyway.

It runs on 4 AA batteries and comes in a toy sized red plastic case that looks like an RCA theremin and comes with a magazine in Japanese. The speaker is pathetic and needs a mod for an audio out. Note he chucked the casing, swapped a radio antenna, the originally is cute but kind of dangerous and wiggles all over -- and he added some full sized pots to replaced the tiny trimmers on the "kit". Like the SX-150, unless you want to mod it you don't solder anything, just some piece fitting and screws. So it's really is a "some assembly required" item rather than a proper "kit". About $21 in Japan. The same magazine is going to release a larger 'Theremin Pro' "kit" possibly before Xmas from what I hear. Sure to be bought and resold with a jacked up in price too. These things are sold in most larger bookstores in Japan. The wrist mounted one is the Gakken theremin kit from last year by the same magazine that did the SX-150 analog synth.
