I used Vulcan math to calculate Spock Monkey’s constitution.

Each Spock Monkey is lovingly handmade, so each of them is unique. Some are uglier than the others. There’s also a Captain Kirk Sock Monkey. No monkey McCoy though.

Each Spock Monkey (or Capt. Kirk Sock Monkey) sells for $46 (USD) at Cottage Linen. Don’t feel bad about separating the Spock Monkeys from each other, because they’re all adventurers, seeking new frontiers. Every Spock Monkey is also sent off with one hell of a going-away party. Seriously, check out the party. It’ll make your day.

This life-size replica is a dead-ringer for Captain Kirk’s original swivel-throne from the bridge of the Starship Enterprise. Not only does the chair look like the original Cap’ns seat from a distance, it’s even got all of the original controls in the arms.

Measuring  in at 41″(h) x 42″(w) x 39″(d), the 215- pound chair is a perfect reproduction of the seat that Shat sat on for all 3 years of his 5 year mission. Made from wood, leather and various plastic bits, this substantial throne is the perfect place for you to bark out orders to your own crew. (Or to issue a Red Alert to Comcast customer service when your cable cuts out.)

Captain Kirk’s chair is available in a limited edition of only 1701 pieces (get it?) over at Entertainment Earth for a whopping $2200 (USD). I wonder how much that is in Federation Credits? And if you really can’t get enough Trek, you could always cut a hole in the seat and put one in your bathroom over the toilet seat.
