Bumping this to see what happens. None of my leads have panned out so far. ---

Just wondering if anyone has come across one of these since the thread died down? ---

What’s funny is some days ago, I was honestly thinking to myself, “I wonder if Cisquito is still obsessing over that blue monkey,” then forgot about it, assuming he’d gotten over the damn thing by now, and if he hadn’t, we’d know. I was wrong. In answer to your query, no. ---

Aw, I’m sorry you haven’t found it yet. ☹ But I can’t help but think of the “Best in Show” [Busy Bee scenes](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_KrSWI8F2E) whenever I see the thread title. 😉 ---

I still have my Larry the lamb. He’s is very rough, scratchy, stained, missing one and a half ears, and has a weird smell- just like he always was. He’s at least 45 years old. I believe he came from Germany and that my dad picked him up on an overseas trip. I still fondly recall my daughter holding Sweetie the blue dog’s paw and soothing her while she got ‘stitches’ from me. So sweet. ---

I have continued to look in stores for it, as well as to trawl ebay every once in a while. I am determined to find this monkey. ---

Have you thought about having one custom made? A quick google search suggests that there are multiple companies that do this. Of course, you might need to buy 500 of them…and convince them it’s legal to copy it… -D/a ---

> [@Cisco](#): > > Hi, > > This monkey was bought at Babies-R-Us a little over a year and a half ago. It came with a matching baby blanket. I’m looking for a replacement but can’t seem to find one anywhere. I’m hoping maybe one of the moms around here has an unwanted one they’d sell, or knows where I can buy one. It’s my son’s “special” doll and it’s starting to kind of wear out, and my wife and I are both terrified we’re going to lose it at some point. We’d really love a back up / replacement. > > Pics are here and here: > > [ImageShack - Best place for all of your image hosting and image sharing needs](http://img87.imageshack.us/i/rszimg00145.jpg/) > > [ImageShack - Best place for all of your image hosting and image sharing needs](http://img295.imageshack.us/i/rszjune2010173.jpg/) > > I can get more pics if that leaves any ambiguity. > > Please note, though, I am not at all interested in a similar monkey.

Cisco was on the board last night, but apparently didn’t see that this thread was revived. I sent a PM asking him to check in. ---
