Inspired by the shape of a star, the Star Lounger from Troy Smith Studio makes a sitter feel almost as if they’re sitting in SpongeBob BFF Patrick Star’s lap. And who hasn’t ever wanted to experience that? Move over, Santa, there’s a new lap I want to sit on in town!

The lounger measures 54″ wide x 44″ deep x 65″ high with a 20″ seat height and is perfect if you’re an evil villain remodeling your lair and looking for a new chair from which to plot world domination. It’s upholstered with black stretch velvet and brass caps and costs $35,000. Good lord – I think it’s high time you and I get in the ridiculous chair-making business. We just need to make and sell one a year and split the profits and we could live like kings! I mean, provided kings still ride the bus and eat ramen noodles five out of seven nights a week.

Will I be adding one to my evil lair (read: walk-up studio apartment)? Probably not. But only because it isn’t available in coral pink like the real Patrick Star. That’s the only reason. The price tag has nothing to do with it. Because I could totally buy one if I really wanted to and could live without kidneys.

When my kids were smaller I watched SpongeBob SquarePants with them all of the time. I’m not sure if that makes me a bad parent, a good one, or just a weird one. I remember the Christmas episode of the show where Patrick runs all around slurping on a candy cane. Now you can commemorate that moment with a very special Funko POP! collectable toy.

POP! vinyl figure collectors will definitely want to add these SpongeBob and Patrick Christmas characters for their collection. While Patrick is enjoying his candy cane way too much, SpongeBob has a look of wonder in his eyes as he holds a wrapped gift.

Each one can be pre-ordered at Entertainment Earth for $10.99 (Patrick here and SpongeBob here) with delivery in October, so you’ll have them in plenty of time to add them to your Christmas displays.
