TSA Warns Against Flying with Call of Duty Zombies Monkey Bomb Figurine

Author : Jonathan May 02,2025

If you're a fan of video games and enjoy collecting game-inspired replicas or figurines, you might want to think twice before packing anything that resembles a weapon from the Call of Duty series in your luggage. This advice comes from a recent post by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) about prohibited items. As reported by Dexerto, the TSA's Facebook account showcased a replica figurine of the Monkey Bomb from Call of Duty's Zombies mode that was discovered in a checked bag at Boston Logan International Airport.

The Monkey Bomb, also known as the Cymbal Monkey, has featured in multiple Call of Duty titles, from World at War to Black Ops 6. This specific figurine is designed to hold a game controller, with its hands outstretched. However, its appearance, complete with what looks like dynamite and cables, makes it resemble a weapon.

"This monkey may rack up points in a game, but in real life, leave the gear for your loadout screen, not your baggage," the TSA's post stated. "Replica weapons and explosives, no matter how cool or collectible, aren't allowed in either carry-on or checked baggage."

The TSA's website provides detailed information on prohibited toy weapons, including "squirt guns, Nerf guns, toy swords, or other items that resemble realistic firearms or weapons." This might inadvertently highlight the high-quality design of the Monkey Bomb replica.

It's crucial to be aware of these regulations if you're planning to attend a convention or visit a place where you might purchase such merchandise. The TSA advises that any item, whether a monkey figurine or a set of Naruto-themed throwing knives, is prohibited in checked or carry-on baggage if it is deemed a potential security threat, even if it's just a replica.
