Flying monkey?
My SCA coat of arms is a winged monkey. Any clue where he came from?
No idea about Catherine's, but I think mine came from here:

or possibly here:

But there's a better selection and better prices at Amazon at the moment.
No wings on these, but they have nifty capes and masks ;-) You put your first
two fingers into little pockets in the monkey's front paws, pull back on the
back legs to make a sort of slingshot, and let go. The monkey goes flying, and
emits a very satisfying shriek as it goes (and lands).
A note: Once in a while you get one that doesn't work right. It's worth buying
them in pairs or groups, particularly if you're giving them to kids (as I
was). Shop around and you'll find discounts on bundles. There are a number of
versions out there, but the original was the SuperFlyMonkey, distinguished by
their rainbow helmets:

More than you *ever* wanted to know.
