Does anyone remember what the toy I’m going to describe is called or if there are any photos of one?
Its a thick wire that has a handle at the bottom and a little ball at the top. The wire/rod allows a monkey or other toy character to slide down from the top of the rod to the handle. The character has some sort of arm or tail composed of a small spring (like the ones in a click top pen) and the spring usually has a weight at the end like a plastic hand or a ball. To operate the toy, you move the monkey up to the top and then give the spring a little wack. The monkey then boings it’s way as is claiming down from the rod. It makes a spring boinging noise.
Just wondering if anyone remembers those things.
I haven’t seen monkeys, the woodpecker version is familiar to me. Don’t know if it had a generic name.
In Mexico they had el chapulin Colorado!
Something like this, but the hammer and or the antennae had springs on them:
That’s why I was trying to find a name. I got no clue what one might call this in Spanish.
