Well? Do you have simians …

The simians are the monkeys, cladistically including the apes: the New World monkeys or platyrrhines, and the catarrhine clade consisting of the Old World monkeys and apes

… in your miniature collection?

0) None
meh) A Few Incidental Ones
1) One Themed Set
+) A Few Special Monkeys
!) Many, Many Monkeys!

For me … ! – POTA (that is, Spheroid of the Simians), a band of gorillas in our midst, Monkeys in Power Armour (AT-43 Karmans), Fantasy Anthropomorphized Monkeys, Superhero Monkeys, Pets for Other Minis, A Monkey God Statue, Sci Fi Character Monkeys, One Custom Sculpt King of the Kongish Variety.

However, no Monkees in my collection.

{EDIT} – … and, duh, my TMP avatar, Dr. Zaius from POTA

Organ grinder's monkey from the Westwind Victorian Civilians; a couple of pulp chimps, which rates me at "meh."

I have orangutans with ak47s. I love them.

No, but I have gamed with some individuals who might loosely be grouped in the simian class.

Not a one

I do have a lot of Orks and Barbarians who look like them, though

Only gamed with, Attila? My old TAC officer bore a striking resemblance to the Dino de Laurentis take on King Kong.

The fantasy forces include a dozen 28mm flying monkeys (with Wicked Witch.) The 28mm SF include about as many--Dredd pieces and a Eureka gibbon contingent, plus whatever strays show up at the game shop. Costume splits red and blue, so they can either reinforce both sides in a block war, or form their own faction in a skirmish. (I do the same thing with juves in green mohawks.)

I'd say somewhere between a few special and many, many.

My sorry collection of monkeys consists wholly of ones from citadel dressed as 1920's gangsters, oh and Grodd from Heloclix.

I am in the process of acquiring some new acquisitions (A strange supervillain dude with a metal arm (now that I mention it did I see him on your website?) and some more Judge Dredd ones
