Description

A flying vehicle with a legendary backstory

The Monkie Kid theme reimagines characters from Journey to the West in a modern action setting, pitting them against demons using futuristic vehicles rather than ancient weapons. The Cloud Airship fits that pattern exactly: a flying ship that doubles as both transport and battle platform for the crew. At 547 pieces, there's enough substance for a proper hull, cockpit and moving add-ons, while staying short of the theme's largest flagship builds.

Red, yellow and grey as signature colours

Red, yellow, light bluish grey and dark bluish grey make up the palette, matching the bold, comic-inspired look that defines Monkie Kid sets rather than the muted tones common in themes like Star Wars or Technic. Red and yellow give the airship an instantly recognisable, energetic look, while the grey tones handle structural and technical detailing. With 220 unique elements across 547 pieces, there's plenty of shape variety, pointing to a vehicle built from lots of small, specific add-ons.

Four minifigures crew the ship

Four minifigures come with the set, enough to cover the core hero crew plus at least one opponent. That makes the set genuinely play-ready: the ship works as a base for scenes, while individual figures can just as easily be used away from the vehicle for their own adventures. For anyone following the Monkie Kid line, this adds a flying model to a fleet that otherwise leans on ground and water vehicles.

Parts for your own vehicle builds

The bold red and yellow pieces are relatively uncommon compared with most other themes, making them useful for adding a striking accent to your own vehicle builds, while the grey tones blend easily into any technical collection. If you're after specific shaped parts for flying models, the parts list on this page shows exactly which of the 220 unique elements are included, in what colour and quantity, useful for planning your next build alongside other vehicles in your own collection.
