MAXWELL MONKEY #LT20M

Born in the beautiful Coconut Atolls, Maxwell Monkey distinguished himself from his 17 brothers and sisters by being the least ambitious of his parent's children. Instead of doing his chores, he would climb up a tree to snooze. At age 6, he was accidentally harvested with a bunch of coconuts and was shipped to the United States where he now works as a sun-tan consultant.

MONTGOMERY MONKEY #02328

Also from the Coconut Atolls, Montgomery Monkey is the oldest of the 18 siblings in his family. As the "First Born" it was his duty to take care of the education, health and daily needs of his 17 brothers and sisters while his parents were either "very busy" or exhausted (which was 100% of the time). Montgomery is 12 inches tall and is very easy to operate by children as well as adults.

MARIO MONKEY (210)

In a forest, in a tree, there's a monkey swinging free,
Hanging by his hands and feet, looking for a treat to eat. 
Ripe bananas grow nearby, soon they've caught the monkey's eye,
Monkey grabs one, starts to peel, now he's got a monkey meal.*
