[Porcello]

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.

 

[silverreef]

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

 

[Gatito Bandito]

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.

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

According to Monkey Magic , the hair can duplicate himself.
