Advantages: Great for a bit of fun.

Disadvantages: Wears off after a while.

I was bought this christmas 2008 and i enjoyed flinging it across the room at family over for christmas.


If you buy this for your kids: Be well prepared. This is a highly annoying toy but also a lot of fun! Basically, its a monkey with rubber arms, that you can catapult at whatever you like! If this be people, be prepared.


Its not just a catapult, it also makes noises! Whenever it hits anything, it squeals and shouts crazy monkey noises (which is probably the cause of annoyance) It is a lot of fun and can be enjoyed by everyone of all ages.


I think there are several editions of the same kind of mechanism (animal with rubber arms= catapult) such as a chicken. My monkey has a blue cape and helmet unlike the one in the picture at the top of this review. I think there are different ones and im sure that you could even personalise your monkey Maybe?


If you are after a serious toy, dont even think about this. You need to have a certain threshold of fun within you, even to fling it back at your kids when they are aiming up the next shot.


As for quality, my monkey has lasted me until now and is still hanging up in my room. This is after quite heavy endurance and playing with alot.


The problem is though, after about a day or two, the monkey becomes nothing more than that annoying thing that people want to strangle and destroy. There is a limit to how much you can play with this toy and after a while the effect definately wears off.

Summary: Good buy.
