Now you can control your very own Flying Monkey with no golden cap needed, although his only function will be to crack open some nuts. Luckily, you happen to have captured him in the midst of his kidnapping of Toto so you get a flying monkey that looks like he is on his way to a picnic. Not quite the same as the fearsome creature from the movie.

These women seem to have curves made for cracking nuts. There is a lot of interpretation that could be involved, but I would hope these twin ladies are working on walnuts. All you need is to squeeze their legs gently and you will have yummy goodness to put in your mouth.

There is no better time to come out with a Deer Hunter Nutcracker than right around hunting season. Even rednecks need something to open those walnuts with and I don’t think the traditional nutcracker will fit in with their decor.

If the Darth Vader Nutcracker just won’t cut it as a gift for this holiday season, maybe it’s time you stepped up to a 1:1 scale Jabba replica.
Actual size: 12.1 feet long by 5.9 feet tall by 6.1 feet deep
And let me tell you, a 12 foot Jabba the Hutt on your front lawn just screams class. The replica is available here.
Steinbach of Germany, “renowned as the premier name in nutcrackers for over 125 years,” has come up with the holiday accessory for the festive Star Wars nerd.
The Star Wars Darth Vader Nutcracker is handcrafted from select European hardwoods and it stands at 18 1/2″ tall. I don’t know about you, but I find the idea of some “master craftsman” hidden away in some German factory churning out Vader nutcrackers on “select European hardwoods” highly amusing. Funny or not, painstaking craftsmanship such as this comes at a price – $349.95 to be exact.
And the best part is that the damn thing can’t even crack nuts. It is for decorative purposes only.
