Does anyone remember what the toy I'm going to describe is called or if there are any photos of one?

Its a thick wire that has a handle at the bottom and a little ball at the top. The wire/rod allows a monkey or other toy character to slide down from the top of the rod to the handle. The character has some sort of arm or tail composed of a small spring (like the ones in a click top pen) and the spring usually has a weight at the end like a plastic hand or a ball. To operate the toy, you move the monkey up to the top and then give the spring a little wack. The monkey then boings it's way as is claiming down from the rod. It makes a spring boinging noise.

Just wondering if anyone remembers those things.

We have one just like this, but without the purple feather. It maybe used to have one, it's very old.
