Description

Mythology as a building brief

Monkie Kid draws on characters and motifs from the classic Chinese tale Journey to the West, reworked into a modern, tech-heavy world of mechs, vehicles and magical elements. The lion-shaped mech in this set sits firmly in that tradition, combining an animal silhouette with clearly visible mechanical detail. For fans who like unusual, non-vehicle mech shapes, it offers a welcome change of pace from more conventional robot-style builds and a distinctive shelf presence next to vehicle-based sets.

796 pieces in bold contrasting colours

Black, dark turquoise, pearl gold and bright light orange combine for a bold, easy-to-spot colour scheme that stands well apart from the more muted tones of typical vehicle sets. Across the 796 pieces, the build covers a poseable lion body with movement at the head, legs and tail, plus additional weapons or accessories. That adds play value beyond appearance alone, since the finished mech can be posed in different positions for attack or defence scenes using its included weapons.

Five minifigures for a confrontation

The set includes 5 minifigures, enough to stage confrontations around the lion mech, such as a clash between the show's main characters and an opposing side. That figure count lets several roles be represented at once rather than focusing on a single hero figure. Anyone who already owns other Monkie Kid sets can combine these figures with existing characters from other scenes and stories for a bigger cast across several episodes.

233 parts worth a closer look

The model uses 233 unique parts in total, and the exact breakdown is available in the parts list on this page. That's useful if you want to check which joint, armour or coloured pieces are included before buying, or before combining this set with other mech-style builds. The unusual colour combination in particular makes the list worth a look for other building projects too, especially the pearl gold and turquoise pieces, which are less common elsewhere.
