Jacko Monkey was a gorgeous monkey that was made by Chad Valley I think. It was easily one of my favourite toys in the early 70's and I still have two of them!
Jacko Monkey had plastic hands and feet and wore a stripey tee-shirt and trousers. His arms were above his head like he was swinging from a tree or something.

We have 3 Jackos, a girl and 2 boys, Jacko, Jillo and Jemo. We are 8 and they were our mum's in 1970. We love them to bits.

I still have my Jacko - he is now 46 years old and although been repaired many times - he is still very much loved. Jacko comes on all our cruise holidays and in our Motor Home - would never part with him

I still have my Jacko monkey he was brought for me by my grandparents who previously brought my dad one when he was a little boy it was the fact they had not seen one since he had his that urged them to buy one for me, i was only a couple of months old and as a small baby my first name for him was dumadums which has since then stuck. I love him but most people who see him state that as a small child it would have scared them to death and caused nightmares lol never mind i would never part with him and my 3 yr old daughter has hours of fun playing with him still now :-)

My message to anyone who had a Jacko monkey or a female Molly monkey in the past that lost it or had it taken away and have often thought about getting a replacement is: Seriously, get another. Go for it! It will bring back all of the lost memories and everytime you look at your monkey you will have a feeling of self content.

After 30 years of being shut up and forgotten in an old suitcase I have just found my very threadbare and battered straw-filled Jacko. He's got to be at least 50 years old. I don't suppose he's worth very much but even after his ordeal he's still smiling!

Wahoooo! Memories of Jacko. I too had a Jacko which was taken away from me at a young age. I searched for years but to no avail. Probably because I made out to feed him Pacers (1970's mint sweets) and that he could talk when no one was looking. The moral of my story is...dont pretend to an adult that your Jacko eats and talks when they are not around! I was not mad...it was just a game!! I bid £100 on a Jacko on ebay and didnt win and just when I thought I'd never see a Jacko again, I got one. So don't ever give up people, it wont go away until you have a Jacko once again. Only one problem, where the hell do I buy Pacers?! I think my Jacko is addicted to Soothers...but that's another story!
