Indy Flashback: Eat Chilled Monkey Brains While Watching 'Temple of Doom'!

This prop almost makes me wish that I actually liked Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. You can pick up one of the prop monkey heads from the "Chilled Monkey Brains" scene in the film. Better yet -- it's not a replica! This puppy, er monkey, was used in the film, and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity from Property Master Barry Wilkinson, who bought a bunch of the props when production was completed.
Since it's an actual prop, you might want to keep it in a safe place, but think about how cool it would be to use it. There's a plastic bowl inside the head, so you can fill it up with dip and chow down on some chips whilst watching Doom.
Of course, super-awesome memorabilia doesn't come cheap. This head's starting bid is $2,600.00. But really, if you have the money, it seems worth it to me. It's a recognizable and fun prop from the film, and would certainly add to any home theater Doom experience.

That's super cool, but no one will ever pay that. The movie isn't THAT popular.
Rather, the thing looks like a cup you could buy at Party City. Can someone just make a mold and sell a thousand of 'em? They could be unlicensed replicas. If I had the means to do it, I'd copy that prop completely, make a mold, stick on the wig, no big deal. I'd sell mine for only $15 a pop, and you could actually drink out of it.
People on eBay are real punks sometimes.

Someone ever gave me that, I would put it up for sale on Ebay right away for two dollars because that is what I think that horrible piece of junk is worth.

Monkey brains should be a more than enough reason to like Temple of Doom.

I don't have a spare $2600. Does anyone make a replica?
Btw... Was any part of that scene based on reality? Did people in that part of the world actually eat a similar diet?
