Safari Ltd.Apes & Monkeys TOOB - 12 Figurines: Baboon, Orangutan, Tamarin, Lemur, Gorilla, Mandrill, Chimp, Squirrel, Spider, & Woolly Monkeys - Educational Toy Figures For Boys, Girls & Kids Ages 3+

So cute and well made

They are very fun to play with. I play with them every day. (Age 11)

I bought these as teaching aids to help my kids learn about different animals. Concepts are so much easier for them to grasp if they can hold and play with the animals they're leaning about, rather than just reading about them in a book. The animals are well crafted, the pieces have been nicely painted and they're fairly detailed which helps them look more realistic. They also have their names on the underside in case you need help identifying what they are. Most of the pieces in this set stand up on their own fairly well, although some are a little wobbly.The only thing I find a little cumbersome is the tube itself. While it's great for storing, it's compact size and odd shape makes it difficult to get the animals in and out - the rope handle also seems to get in the way. Other than the somewhat troublesome tube, the animals in this set are great and I will definitely be buying more of these collections.

Just what I needed for g-daughter's cake. It has a lemur!🙉 Quick delivery.

I've been trying to teach a co-worker all about the saying, "Not my circus. Not my monkeys." Nothing seemed to be working after a few months. Then one day it occurred to me that she needed to be able to see her monkeys. I placed them all over her desk and she loves them. I've now seen and heard her using them correctly. She's now staying in her circle of control.

I wanted some monkeys for our continent boxes. In particular, I wanted some for South America, Africa, AND Asia. This set however did not include Asian species other than the orangutan (which as not up to par and we are not even going to use). I suggest that this set add in snow monkeys from Japan and snub-nosed monkeys from China.Nine of the monkeys were very clear as to what species they were and were pretty well painted. This includes the: Baboon, Squirrel Monkey, Golden Lion Tamarin, Lemur, Spider Monkey, Gorilla, Woolly Monkey, Mandrill, and Chimpanzee. The Mandrill we already had and was better painted, so we did not actually use this new one, but it is still pretty good.The Orangutan was a terrible brown color, not orangy at all. It looked like a large brown lump. We went with a different orangutan figure from a jungle set.The last two monkeys were either mis-colored or mis-labeled. I have no idea what was supposed to be the Capuchin or Red Tail Monkey because they are simply not in this set. The last two monkeys appear to be black howler monkeys (both male which is black and golden with a black face which is female). I mean, a Red Tail Monkey has a red tail and none of these models do. The Capuchin has a white face and none of these models do. I have no problems using them as howler monkeys and I think they are a fabulous size to represent them.

I bought this item because my son was doing a school project on what he wanted to be when he grows up. He was suppose to make a poster showing what he wanted to be. He not only made this poster, he decided to do a diorama as well. I searched the local stores and found nothing and then went online. Thanks to your item, his project was amazing! Thanks Amazon for having just what he needed...He got an A on this project!

If you are looking for great detail, look elsewhere. This is a nice set with a lot of variety, and for the most part serves the purpose if you need to populate a desk with monkeys.
