The monkey is of course not a monkey but an ape, specifically a chimpanzee! Playmobil monkeys have tails.

This playmobil chimpanzee is cast all in one go with the head already attached, but facing backwards - the heads then have to be turned by hand to face forwards.

I like the ball and socket joint, smilar to the one used for the skeleton, and it does lend further expression to the figure. Maybe one day they will start makign klickies with these neck joints, though it might make customisation difficult if it was harder to disassemble without breakage.
