CIRCUS TIME: Mattel Circus Playset No. 0506 (1973) - Pt 6 Set No. 5 Trained Gorilla and Monkey Act

Another set which supposedly allows you to balance the figures. Nope! Won't happen - at least the way Mattel intended. The two hanging monkeys work fine hanging from the gorilla's outstretched arms, but the other there just sit there on a flat surface. The only way for them to sit on the gorilla's arms is to glue them! Enjoy! Opa Fritz

The insert




There is a flat spot on the gorilla's outstretched arms which is ostensibly meant to allow any one of the three crouched monkeys to sit on. Doesn't work.  One of these days I may try very hard to get it to work but really, if you can't do it within a matter of a couple of seconds the fun just gets totally sucked out of the toy!
