Monkgomery is a puppet children's toy in the form of a talking monkey wearing a necktie, released by Hasbro in 1986.〔 〕 The toy is 17" in height and sits at approximately 14" tall. The toy has two Velcro strips on his hands allowing him to be hung from objects. == History == Bingo Bear (Hasbro Item: 70501) and Monkgomery Monkey (Hasbro Item: 70502) were part of a Hasbro Softies product line called "Yakity Yaks".〔 〕 Their debut in 1986 was not as highly received as that of Teddy Ruxpin, but toy sellers pointed to them as a less expensive alternative product for parents that could not afford Teddy Ruxpin. The puppets were also more durable than other toys on the market, since the puppets did not contain gears or movable parts. the absence of mechanical parts also made the puppets more cuddly for children.〔 〕 The sewing of the puppet allows it to be versatile, safe, and durable toy for children compared to other mechanical toys. The toy can also function as a cuddle buddy at night and a day time play toy. Additional speech modules provided 200 new words (each came with a different outfit); Dr. Bingo and Space Bingo outfits for Bingo Bear were scheduled for release at the end of December 1986; a Safari Monkgomery kit for Monkgomery Monkey was scheduled to be released in January 1987.〔 The Hasbro dealer catalog also has a Monkgomery Monkey Clown Outfit and Rock Star Bingo Bear Outfit (Unknown if released). The toys sold for about $70 and the extra word module kits for $20.〔 A lot of these toys are still in working order today, if the batteries were not left in to corrode. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Monkgomery」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
