Description
A guardian shaped like a lion
The set centres on a lion-form model, a motif that recurs across the Monkie Kid line and draws on figures from Chinese mythology reinterpreted for the series. At 775 pieces, it ranks among the larger vehicle and mech-style sets in the theme, with enough parts for detailed work on the head, mane and several moving sections. The build naturally splits into several distinct stages as a result, spreading nicely across more than one sitting, roughly by sub-build, head and mane.
A bold black, red and reddish-brown scheme
Black, red, reddish brown and dark bluish grey define the look, giving the model a bold, slightly fierce presence that suits its guardian role well. Red provides targeted accents on the mane and detailing, while black and dark bluish grey reinforce the model's structural, mechanical feel and keep the overall look grounded rather than cartoonish. All 252 elements, along with exactly where each colour is used, are listed in the parts list on this page for easy reference.
Five minifigures for story play
Five minifigures come with the set, enough for the kind of hero-versus-foe scenes that run through the Monkie Kid stories and define much of the theme. With that many characters involved, it's worth checking how many seating or standing points the finished model actually offers, since all five need somewhere sensible to go once the build is complete and play begins in earnest, without figures being left out of the action.
252 parts for further builds
The 252 unique elements are also useful on their own, for custom fantasy vehicles or as extras alongside other sets from the Monkie Kid line that share a similar palette. Anyone hunting for a specific shape in these colours can search the full parts list on this page, making it far easier to plan a custom build long before sorting through the actual bricks by hand at the table, without any guesswork.
