  1. Can we see the hideout next? Really interested in the set and it’s value!

  2. Monkie King is probably crying in his alternate face because he’s not wearing a crown, he’s wearing a headband that constricts and gives him migraines any time the monk needs to punish him

  3. I’m thankful for a smaller MK wave honestly, I already end up purchasing most of these sets. I’m still debating which of these I want to pick up on Jan 1st

  4. If this video gets over 1000 likes, I'll do another video comparing this mech to the original! Also, let me know in the comments which Monkie Kid set you want to see reviewed next!

  5. The experimental colours that monkie kid loves to try out make the theme a lot more visually appealing than others
    Unfortunately MK has some issues elsewhere but not in looks

  6. I think this set was made to celebrate 3 years of the monkey king mech!!

  7. OG MONKEY MECH was wayyyy better. This build just looks way too bulky…almost chubby. The original design is sleeker, lighter, and all around an astetical winner…

  8. This is so epic I love the LEGO Monkie Kid Monkey King Ultra Mech, releasing in January 2023 as a part of the LEGO Monkie Kid Theme. I think this set is a great gift for kids of all ages for Christmas and birthdays

    🦧

  9. I like it, but it is not poseable enough, it basically has one stance and that's it. Minifigs are great.

  10. It’s definitely an upgrade to the original mech, but the main draw to that old set was the side builds for me. So I’m not sure which one I prefer overall.

  11. I love the villain minifigures because they remind me of the uncanny makeup from the Journey to the West movie

  12. The legs look similar to Zane's Titan mech from Ninjago's 10th anniversary

  13. It is an all around gorgeous set. The figures are fantastic and because they are based on characters from the story I'm betting the bright colors are intentional. The Yellow Tusked Elephant and Tang are definitely my favorite here.

  14. I'd love to see the comparison between the two monkey mechs. I feel like this new one is too much. It's bulky and doesn't feel cohesive with all the details, unlike the original which felt elegant. I wish this mech had the same scale as the six eared macaque mech.

  15. i really would like a comparison,the mech does look cool but the chest looks really wide

  16. bro I swear if there isn’t going to be reviews of the sets tomorrow i’m going to be so annoyed with lego

  17. Can't say I'm that interested in this kit. A lot of interesting stuff, but not really my cup of tea. I will say that the front part of the jet(?) "side build" does look like it could make a decent brick built dragon head with some modifications

  18. Hmm, I can't tell if this is worth buying if you already own the original monkey king mech. I got into this line recently, thought the original mech looked hella cool, so I picked it up. This one looks good too but not different enough, maybe.
