Upon reaching the bottom, the ball is ejected by a metal push rod and back up the tree he goes. This neat toy shows some light wear and some paint loss in a few spots. Some tarnishing at top side of green base. Palms are all present, but some are scrunched up from being packed away. Monkey climbs tree properly and with edition of steel balls, this fella should perform as it was intended. Overall height is approx. 18 inches.
