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.

I have had my original jacko chimp (not a monkey, as they do not have tails!) since 1973. He is bald and a bit battered through too much love. 33 years later, I have accumulated 2 more Jackos and still look regularly to maybe purchase another or two. Space permitting!!

I too had a Jacko monkey with a stripey jumper. Loved him to bits. Also had a Brooke Bond monkey (sort of rubbery texture) but with a gorgeous face. Unfortunately after 48 years he has now perished. As to Jacko - well my brothers got to him - need I say more.

I had a Jacko monkey when i was little. I remember fighting with it, It hurt like hell when you hit its face as it was really hard plastic!!! I could never have it in my room at night though because if you looked at him long enough it looked like he was breathing!! Good but scarey memories for me!!

I had Jacko during the 70's growing up, boy did I love him! I took him everywhere, one day I came home and my dad had cleared out the toy cupboard...he was gone :( and now 36 have never got over it! I hope to get one off of ebay even though it will be jacko mark 2!

I have one of these monkeys, but it is a girl and has a pinifore dress on. Exactly the same as the boy, but has a skirt over the wooly trousers. Does anybody else have a girly monkey, i've only seen people with boy ones. I have always bitten my nails, and so 'molly monkey' has bitten nails too!
