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.

When my lttle bro was a baby his fav animal was monkeys and it still is to this day. So mum got him a Jacko (from a boot fair i think). We are now trying to desperately track another one down. He has 2, one with the hard plastic and one with a softe plastic which isn't as big. He has black legs, arms and head with a banana in the right hand, white plastic shoes and an orangy yellow belly. Some people think he is cute and some sy he is ugly and scary. I personnely love them!

My dad bought me a Jacko after i had been in hospital when I was 5, I loved that monkey so much, he got lost over the years and my dad has just bought me a new(old) one from e-bay for my 37th birthday. What a fantastic pressie, although I dont think the first one cost as much as the second one but he is the exact match of my old Jacko and I love him too.

I had a Jacko back in the 60s ( I was born 1964) and remember him fondly. I gave him a new look one windy afternoon, I remember, and took off the eyelashes on one eye! Poor thing! Needless to say, I did not go on to be a corrective surgeon! He is still at Mam's home, and I'd now love to introduce him to my own two boys. Mine had a stripy t-shirt and red dungarees.

I am desparately looking for what might be a Chad Valley Jacko monkey. I had a monkey that looked very similar as a child. However mine had black shoes, red cotton pants and a black, yellow, blue and red thinly striped shirt. Has anyone seen such a monkey?? I am not sure of the brand but want to find him again. Any help is greatly appreciated.
