Help me buy an inflatable yak

Googling for one only turns up inflatable kayaks.

Very frustrating.

Need NOT be life-sized, toddler sized preferred.

Does it absolutely have to be a yak? Try longhorn instead? Or Ox

how about an inflatable bull? I get results for that.

eta: Ninja’ed by Kearsen1.

A quick search turns up various inflatable animals, but no yaks among them, and several stuffed plush yak toys, but none of them inflatable.

You might have to go with Kearsen’s or davidm’s suggestions and lie to your kid that it’s a yak.

Or glue hair on it to customize your own yak.

Or put a balloon inside a plush stuffed yak.

Don’t talk back, it’s not polite.

I haven’t seen them around, but I’ll keep an eye out. If I come across any I will report back promptly.

Did you run this by the mods first?

(Or am I wrong to interpret the thread title as a request for financial assistance?)

I’m pretty sure your interpretation is incorrect.

Show a little sympathy for somebody who’s down on their luck and can’t afford to pay for the necessities like food, shelter, and inflatable yaks.

I’d be broke if I donated money to everybody who wants an inflatable yak. Knowing when to draw the line and say “no” can be a real emotional experience.

What, a real yak is too spendy?

If you google custom inflatables you get lots of responses but they appear to mostly cater to businesses (promotional items) and are probably expensive.

Here you go.

I can’t believe you all are trying to put a price on a man’s happiness.

He could have asked for a goat, or a sheep. But, no. He dared to dream. He reached for the yak.

I, for one, hope he finds his heart’s desire.

Qadgop, are you planning to ask your dad for one?

Seriously though, the most practical suggestion is CalMeacham’s to find a suitable version of a different bovine and custom yak-ify it. A bull or buffalo inflatable is probably the best starting point.

Alibaba used to sell one but they are out of stock. They still offer a few regular yak costumes (min. purchase 1). I am quite surprised those are not more common.

This place made a yak and dog thing.

Surprised that googling ‘faux yak fur’ provided so many results. But I actually just posted to say faux yak.

Faux yak!
Faux yak!
Faux yak!

My next band name will be Inflatable Yak.

I might have an inflatable wildebeest in storage. Would that bee close enough? I haven’t needed it since I got married.
(None of that’s true, just ungulate humor.)
