Where evolution failed, we have succeeded, whether or not that is a good thing remains to be seen. Pigs, primates and chickens have never been known for their flying prowess - much to the embarrassment of chickens especially, all that effort to grow wings only to spend your life in a constant state of disappointment, it's heart breaking. Well help is at hand, call them obscure evolutionary hiccups, or call them what they are, very stupid - whatever you call them, the Flying Monkey, Pig and Rooster have been sailing around the office in a thoroughly un-land-dwelling way. Their arms (or head in the case of the Rooster) conceal super-elastic bands, you simply insert your fingers into little pouches on their hands (or head), pull back their legs, and catapult them across huge distances. As they fly you'll hear a screech of glee from the Monkey, a cock-a-doodle-doo from the Rooster, and a squeal of delight from the pig. Next time someone poo poos your brilliant idea with a 'Pigs might Fly' comment, you can prove that they do by catapulting this ballistic Babe across the room, give the Rooster his first chance at flight, and if someone is in need of some super-hero assistance then you can fire the be-caped primate to their rescue. There is of course nothing sane about any of these aerial animals, but that's the point.

I just love spanking my flying monkey across the office. I just never knew it could be so much fun!

Oh My Goodness!
the person who invented this was a GENIOUS!
You just slip him in you're fingers, pull back and watch him fly! And when gravity takes his course he boldly calls something out in his native monkey language! It's just so cool and awesome!

OH MY GOD SO FUNNY! Seriously if you don't have one then you don 't know what your missing.. and I pity you! This may be THE best thing to launch at a friends head! Especially in the wind seeing as he flies further and screams more! I love his little mask! anyway I'm off to help 1 little monkey save the world!

We bought this for my brother-in-law's 30th Birthday - and spent the afternoon pinging it about the house and garden. Now everybody else wants one!

I first encountered this ping-able primate after being called into the room by one of my sisters, having to dodge him matrix-style as i walked through the door! I remember bending down to examine the crumpled heap of my screeching assailant amidst the hysterical giggling coming from the other room. From that moment i knew we were perfect for each other! That particular meeting is recreated at every available opportunity involving other unwitting participants, and the other members of my family definately operate with an air of caution about them now! I never foresaw that my ideal pastime would be launching a caped monkey around! One of the most pointless, and kinda worrying, creations i've ever seen.... more of the same please IWOOT!

Thanks to all at IWOOT.
My brother is in hospital and is quite ill, so I bought the flying monkey to try to cheer him up. Although he can't speak, he tried to laugh at the monkey, especially the noise it made (!). Thanks for bringing a smile to a rather sick young boy's face. It made the week for the family.

Flying animals are fantastic - I've bought them for my children, my neices, my grown up brothers. I want someone to buy me one - great fun!!

Brilliant! I can't wait to get home from work every day and pull on my monkey... Only downside is you can't replace the batteries. Great fun!

Bored? Boss at lunch? Try our 'who can fling the pig' competition. Most pathetic thrower pays a penalty. Works equally well at home, but I'd advise playing outside to limit 'incidents'.

Amy, Lancaster
Probably the best invention to mankind :D my friend slept over and we spent the whole night pinging it at each other despite the constant shouts from my mum telling us to shut it up brilliant.
