Do you have what it takes to be the Starfleet’s latest Captain? You’ll need weigh 120 pounds or less, so right away that eliminates a lot of potential candidates. No, this time children as young as three are eligible to sit on the inflatable Captain’s chair, which seems downright irresponsible to me. Clearly, there have been some recruiting issues.
However, you should keep an eye out for Kirk. As you will see in the video after the break, he might try and steal his job back despite far exceeding the suggested weight limit.
If you don’t feel like your home security system is good enough, you have options. You could hire a personal guard, install more alarms, or pick a more affordable route: blow up an inflatable turret. Set up his 40″ turret from Portal and you’ll be feeling relaxed and secure in no time. Unless the intruder has a pointy object that is.

Break out this giant inflatable D20 and get ready for full contact, live action D&D that allows you to actually feel your character’s pain as you rewrite the rules for hit points. A D20 in the face is one hit point, while a D20 in the crotch is seven hit points with the added humiliation and laughter penalty.
Take this inflatable turkey into the kitchen to carve and your guests will think they are in for a home cooked feast. You can’t cook of course, so dinner is courtesy of Boston Market—but no one will ever know the difference.

No one is interested in watching two tech support employees go at it over who knew the better answer to the last customer’s question. Spend two minutes blowing up the Gladiator Inflatable gear and fight it out like an old time Roman. The initial anger will likely have subsided by the time they get these things blown up anyway.
