Hit-Monkey

One of the most feared assassins in the field, the agent known as Hit-Monkey was once a member of a humble tribe of Japanese Macaques. An assassin, marked for death for a failed job, took refuge in the mountains with the monkeys and began to train himself extensively for the day his enemies would come for him. Only one of the Macaques opposed accepting the assassin- and in his distrust, that monkey began to carefully observe the assassin's training, picking up on how to operate firearms.

As the assassin's health began failing, the other monkeys of the tribe tried to save him. Distressed, the distrustful monkey fought them in an attempt to stop him, and was exiled for his use of violence. Not long after, a group of mercenaries tracked the assassin down and slaughtered him, along with the entire Macaque tribe. Unable to get back in time to stop them, the exiled monkey took up the fallen assassin's weapons and massacred the entire group. With a new cause, the monkey vowed to become the assassin that hunts assassins; the Hit-Monkey.

Hit-Monkey (Hit-Monkey BAF Series)
Hit-Monkey's first action figure, based on his appearance in Daniel Way's Deadpool and the character's subsequent spin-off mini series, was released as part of the fifth wave of Hasbro's revival of the Marvel Legends brand, "Return of Marvel Legends". While Build-a-Figures had traditionally been characters too large to release as stand-alone figures, such as Galactus, Hit-Monkey was the first time Hasbro introduced the idea of the "Mini Build-a-Figure"; characters that would be too small to justify releasing as stand alone figures, but require too much unique tooling to serve as a pack-in.

The figure included four accessories- two pistols and two SMGs. Due to his small stature, the BAF pieces only come in three of the six figures in the wave- Hit-Monkey's arms and pistols were included with Hyperion, his SMGs and head were included with Protector and finally the torso and legs were included with Red She-Hulk.

Deadpool and Hit-Monkey - 80th Anniversary Two Pack
Released as part of Hasbro's major push for the Marvel Comics 80th Anniversary in 2019, Hit-Monkey appears in a two pack with Deadpool as a Fan-Channel Exclusive. Instead of basing the figure on any specific appearance from any of the comics, this release of Hit-Monkey is instead inspired by the tone of Miami Vice and similar shows, giving him an original deco. The figure is now largely painted white, with the tie repainted green and a pinker shade of skin-tone on Hit-Monkey's face.

The figure retains all of the original releases accessories, two pistols and two SMGs, but comes with a myriad of other extras included with both figures in the two pack, including a miniature figure of Headpool attached to an RC car, and a pair of headphones repainted from the MCU Groot series Star-Lord.
