    Not too much impressed by the design. Also, the little monkey seems to be having a trip.

    Viewing on my phone and had an immediate WTF moment...

    The monkey has 3 penises flopped out!!!!

    I look carefully and it's just his foot.

    Ugly terrible horrible design of the monkey. Not impressed at all.

    Didn't like it at first, either.. but it's already growing on me.


    The main issue for me is that the monkey heads & necks aren't the greatest.

    Though that might be a different case when in-hand.

    The rest of the design is fine, IMO.

    meh....so much potential but I think the actuality falls short of expectation/hype.

    Does anyone know what the two notches on the branch near the baby monkey mean?

    Fur was pretty good with Mouse and Rabbit. Monkey's a bit messy. Maybe the real thing will be better.
