Rarity
Uncommon; while the mold is common, this specific Flat Silver and Orange color scheme is limited to a few specific sets.
Head
Non-removable, part of the continuous unibody monkey mold. Features a molded snout, ears, and brow ridge. No eye printing on this specific variant.
Torso
Unibody construction in Flat Silver. Tubular torso design with a hole through the center to accommodate a 3mm bar or allow centered placement on studs.
Legs
Four articulated limbs. The rear legs are dual-molded or painted Orange, with Brown hands/feet. The front arms are Flat Silver with Brown hands.
Accessories
Usually none included with the animal itself, though often paired with tools or weapons held in its C-shaped 'hands'.
Color Scheme
A futuristic blend of Flat Silver (body/arms), Orange (hind legs), and Reddish Brown (hands and feet).
Printing Details
No pad printing is present on this specific version; the color variation is achieved through multi-material injection molding or precision spray software.
Variants
Standard brown pirate monkey (1989), Series 7 Jungle Boy's monkey, and various City/Friends animal molds. This silver/orange version is the 'Cyber' variant.
Condition Notes
Common wear points include the C-clips (hands/feet) which can stress or crack if forced onto thick bars. The curly tail is a snag hazard and can snap if stepped on.
Estimated Value
Used: $3.00 - $5.00 USD. New: $7.00 - $10.00 USD. Condition heavily dictates the value of the clip-strength.
Price (New)
Originally included in sets ranging from $3.00 (CMF blind bags) to $50.00 (Space Police sets).
Compatible Sets

Character Background
Often referred to as a 'Cybermutt' or 'Cyber-Monkey' within the Space Police 3 lore, acting as a mechanical or augmented pet and scout for various galactic factions.
Design Notes
Uses the 2011 update of the classic 1989 monkey mold, featuring improved plastic quality and the ability to hold standard 3.2mm bars in all four limbs.

Collectibility
High for 'Spacers' and animal collectors. It is a unique 'techno' version of a classic LEGO animal, making it a niche favorite.
History
The monkey mold debuted in the 1989 Pirates theme. This 2011 revision modernized the part for the Space Police III wave and the CMF line.
Interesting Facts
Despite being an animal, this part is often categorized as a minifigure accessory due to its articulated limbs and interaction with minifigure-scale items.
Display Suggestions
Ideal for sci-fi dioramas, cyberpunk street scenes, or attached to the back of the Series 5 Evil Dwarf.
Modification Potential
Excellent for 'Greebling' in MOCs. The tail and limbs provide multiple connection points for robotic arms or futuristic equipment.
Overall Assessment
A charming and nostalgic update to a classic mold. While not incredibly expensive, its unique color scheme makes it a standout piece for any sci-fi or animal collection.
