They’re dolls. In the shape of meerkats. Made of knitted yarn. Dressed up like Star Trek characters. Any questions? Wait, I have a few. Read the full post.

'Star Trek' knit meerkat dolls: Why didn't we think of this?

Not only would I buy them for me, but I would give them as gifts to all the “Trekkies” I know. They are fabulous and so full of personalty – much like the “Nifty” lady that knitted them!! “Beam us up!!”
These are fabulous! To Nifty and her Meercats: Live long and prosper!
Of course I would buy them for those trekkies that love anything to do with Star Trek! These would be a classic collector item, IMHO!
I think they are great!!!
Can I have one of Pike? In a little wheelchair?
Better yet, Meercat Manor needs a whole new spin-off with characters named Kirk, Spock, Sulu, Uhura, Bones, Chapel, etc
Meerkats because the platypus prototypes kept coming out irregular and the Mudskipper dolls’ fin-arms couldn’t be trusted with trioxides. Do Zombie Star Trek or Vampire Star Trek though…and you can wallpaper your parent’s basement in loot!
I’d buy one. They’re cute.
I was totally grossed out by this headline! I thought the whole “knitting meerkats” comment was a disgusting slur to describe the Spock/Uhura hook up. I was just thinking that popular slang had reached a new low until I read the article. My bad, apparently I have a dirty mind! Still, I hope “knitting meerkats” doesn’t end up on Urban Dictionary; last thing we need in this world is more euphemisms for the art of making tender Vulcan love.
