Introducing LEGO Monkie Kid – the first ever Chinese legend inspired LEGO theme. If you think it’s related to the legendary Monkey King (from “Journey to the West”, you’re absolutely right.

The story follows an ordinary boy named Monkie Kid, who becomes the chosen one to Monkey King’s legendary staff. The modern Chinese twist celebrates bravery and friendship, as Monkie Kid attempts to stop the Demon Bull King and his army of Bull Clones from destroying his city.

“I have been touched and inspired by China’s rich history and culture, the passion and pride of the people and the incredible creativity of China. It has been an honour and privilege to be able to immerse myself in China’s culture of storytelling, in particular – Journey to the West and the Monkey King,” said Simon Lucas.

The Senior Design Director at the LEGO Group continued, “The epic stories and incredible characters have been a huge inspiration to the LEGO design team and me. It is with deepest respect for Chinese culture and the 500-year-old legend that we have created the next chapter in the story of the Monkey King – The Monkie Kid.”
