YMCtoys - Flying Screaming Flingshot Slingshot Novelty Monkey Plush Doll Toy, Launches up to 50 Feet

So fun, so cute, So noisy, so loved, Purchased for two boys who destroy most everything. These lasted through Christmas, lasted months at home, then on a flight across country, and a week in deep east coast snow where they threw them, hit them, and buried them deep in snow and the monkeys still flew and screeched. After a few nights in below freezing temps staying outside, one monkey would not screech anymore so the 9 year old decided to leave it behind BUT at the last min. he grabbed it and took it back across country. Who knew a flying screeching monkey would be the perfect Christmas presents for a 9 and 11 year old. (Tho maybe not the favorite for the parents, haha).

Great fun for the whole family--except for teens who consider themselves too mature for such childish amusements. . . .

Bought it as a toy for my dog who never had pups, she absolutely loves this little guy. When it screams out she runs to it and makes sure it’s ok

I thought I'll be the first to give a realistic and an actual useful review. The moment my mail fell on the floor through my mail slot in my garage door, I heard a monkey screaming. It came! It finally came! But I only heard one monkey... When I opened the package to test the monkeys, 1 of the 2 monkeys were dead (Yes, I pulled the tab already). The tab which separates the battery connection must have gotten loose during the shipping process, and every impact during the shipping process must have drained the batteries, which leads to the first con. You can't change the batteries on these things, "it's kind of like a one time deal". However, if you know how to sew and know the basics of electronics then it should be possible for you to change it (I have yet to try). Further more, the monkey lands about 11FT away from me (more or less) which is pretty good, but loading up the monkey on your fingers can be hard for people with big hands (like me) which is my second con. If you're wondering how big my hands are, my hands are 8inches from tip of the middle finger to the bottom of my palm. My monkey came with a red cape and mask (quite contrary to the picture). These cons should not deter you from your purchase because it's still a fun toy / prank, but it should give you a realistic experience of the toy. One last thing, you will notice that the stitches that make up the mouth are not centered and inconsistent between monkeys.I found another variation of this monkey which has a cap instead, and comes in more colors. I like and prefer the cap monkey better over this one. [...]Update:This company has also generously sent me a replacement, and the replacements happens to be in black. Maybe you can request for a black one via e-mail. I would definitely recommend doing business with these guys.

Just the gag gift we needed for our Wizard of Oz themed gift.

I gifts this to my grandson and it didn't last at all. The screaming monkey didn't scream. How disappointing for him and sad for me. The vape for the money not functionality is not worth the money spent.

we play with the dogs for hours!

First off, I should point out that I work in a highrise office building on a floor that was intended to be a commodity trading floor. So it's wide open. There are no offices, there are no cubicles, there are just rows and rows of desks.A coworker of mine likes to shoot rubber bands at people, oftentimes seated several rows of desks away. Rubber bands are funny, but slingshot monkeys are much funnier. So I ordered one and gave it to him as a Christmas gift.The initial reaction of everyone in the vicinity was sheer delight. There was much laughter and joy. Everyone wanted a turn shooting the slingshot monkey at somebody. There was a good, solid 10 minutes worth of fun.But, strangely, in a wide open workspace where people are trying to concentrate, the slingshot monkey doesn't have very long-lasting appeal.
