Collecting action figures can be addictive. Soon there will be 12-step programs created to help us get off the plastic crack. I’ve managed by sheer willpower to stop picking up most lines of figures, however, a piece like this could not be resisted. Besides just being a work of art - the beauty of this Monkey King is you don’t need to pick up a whole line of characters. You’re set with this one as it easily displays as a single on its own.

🐒 Journey to the West. Surprising and amazing. When I saw all the new tooling for the skeleton horse I knew all bets were off and they could do anything next. I like the mythology direction and there's plenty I'd like to see them do. Kali from Hinduism or Odin from Norse mythology. The Greek Odysseys, the Hindu Vedas and Egyptian book of the dead are full of creatures villains and heroes to do. I'm always hoping for traditional Japanese Samurai as well personally. Thanks for another awesome review! ✌️

"I hope to see an Arthurian Legend or Robin Hood in the Figura Obscura line" - Mr. Dorklair Really bro?!? 4 Horsemen catapulted their company on a little medieval fantasy toyline you MAY have heard of...😏 You can literally make your own King Arthur and Robin Hood with their many figures' interchangeable parts and accessories. IMO, 4HM should spend their resources creating unique figures as they have been for the FIGURA OBSCURA line. China should be embarrassed with a western toy company creating a superior 1/12 scale Monkey King figure!😬

This figure just blew me away, out of my near 100 figures from horesemen, I can say this one is one of the best in term of painting, texture and precision of execution, the other one that I think can be compared to this is the lion king and Aetherblade set. PS. As Chinese I feel somehow sad for that our traditional cultures and mythologies aren't well known for our own work, most Americans and Europeans know Sun Wukong from dragon ball, a Japanese anime, and lots of people think samurais are name for soldiers from all east asian countries, but in fact Japanese and Korean and almost all east and southeast Asian cultures comes or are affected deeply by Chinese culture, hope we can do better to make the world know about the Chinese history and mythologies more

Oh man, I was in Japan in 1980 when they had a Monkey TV show on. I couldn't understand a single word that was being said, but I thought Monkey was Cool as Hell! He was not only using Martial Arts, but Magic as well! I mean this guy defeated his own Pantheon! It took the Buddha himself to finally imprison him.

@@DorkLair Well, like 2 hours after the annouce I saw the comments in mythic legions reddit and many said that this is a disapointment or "I was expecting Black Beard or another pirate" and someone even said that the Figura Obscura line was losing it's "plot". I'm not from United States so it's common that some ideas or cultural aspects didn't match, but I know the opinion from american customers is far far more important for Four Horsemen Studios than the opinion around the world, so, if they didn't like an amazing figure as Sun Wu Kong I fear that Figura Obscura line will become " more as the same".

@@vitorafa7394 I like the Monkey King but I do agree the idea that Figure Obscura is losing it's plot. Krampus and the Headless horseman were dark fairy tale creatures. Those figures set the tone and expectations. Father Christmas is Santa Claus and the Monkey King is a selfish but good hero character. It feels like Figura obscura has lost its original direction to me.

I'm still in awe of just how much new tooling went into this piece, as I've come to expect Figura Obscura to be, as you said, 85-90% Mythic parts. My process this morning was "load shop, quickly eye a bunch of parts I didn't recognize, and buy 2 just for the potential swaps/customs alone on the spot." But after watching your review, I need one to just BE Sun Wukong, because they absolutely nailed the character/look. I may need to do a round 2 on the second drop. Good stuff!
