Flying Monkey Repair, III: Action!

Here's Flying Monkey, all repaired from being lost and squashed in the alley––plus I sewed it a felt jacket with flying designs on both sides, because it's an action monkey.
(What you can't see it that I replaced the smashed noise-maker with a squeaker that squeaks when you squeeze Monkey's tummy.)

And here's 8-seconds of action:
Or, "action..."
Really, it can fly much farther than that.
 
One day soon, when I've stopped playing with it, I'm going to put Monkey up on a telephone pole near where I found it, with a tag saying I've repaired it and am returning it to whoever dropped it or whoever can give it a home.

  1. He's beautiful, and so is his coat! I hope some child in need of a stuffed flying companion will find it and give it a good home.

  2. CROW: Or even an adult! Though yes, I imagine Monkey was lost by a child, and I do hope someone who likes him a lot takes him home.
    It's a little hard to release him into the wild, but that's where he came from in the first place.

  3. I can testify he flies very well. My one regret in meeting him in a restaurant is that I didn't get a chance to fly him.

  4. BINK: I'll bring it to coffee this weekend, and you can do the full launch!

  5. Sweet! though I don't know that flying around hot coffee is best idea.
