  • Talking toy Monkey

    Please, please can anyone else remember a toy monkey, very similar to the Chad Valley Jacko Monkey's , but he was made by PEDIGREE, He could say three Phrases when you pulled his arms.
    1 Have a Banana
    2 munch, Munch
    3 I am Jack??/ or my name is Jack

    This would be a toy of the late 70's maybe 80's. I found one a few months back for sale on a foreign Ebay, I cant even be sure which one!!! So I know he existed and my family recall him too. I would love to find one I can buy.Or at least show a photo to my Children.
    Thanks for any help.

        Can't think. don't recall it being mentioned
        Was it one of those pull-string talking things or did you have to squeeze him?

              Thank you, it means a lot. I should have kept the ebay link along with your picture

              Sixty, do you have any Argos catalogues from the late 70's/early 80's as mum thinks he may have been brought from there? Thats if you have time to look.

                  There is a chimp on there. he talks too, but he is not made by pedigree, and he can say 10 things. looks a bit like a jacko, but not a real Chad Valley Jacko.
                  its in the Argos 1976 book
                  I reckon the one you had was not a jacko, but a jacko-a-like.
                  Either this one or a later version

                            Oh Sixty that does sound quite good, the ebay discription led me to think it was pedigree, and she only listed the three phrases, but its a possibility I dont want to rule out!!! Just because some woman said pedigree on ebay.

                              Now, that picture is pretty crappy, but a search of old cached Ebay pages threw up these close ups..much better quality doll and great face. This is also a Burbank talking monkey..
