In the BrickHeadz series you’ll find a few sets that refer to Chinese history and legends. The Monkey King is exactly that kind of character, a mythical hero of the sixteenth-century novel “Journey to the West”.

The figure stands out above all for its eye colour, which differs from the eyes found in other BrickHeadz sets. You may also like the printed pieces, rich in patterns and colours. Whether the character resembles its original is debatable, but perhaps its look is more obvious to people who know the story. I came across this character for the first time precisely when I bought this set.
As a bit of trivia, there is another set from the world of the Monkey King. Inspired by the story of the Monkey King, LEGO released the LEGO Monkie Kid theme. Among its many sets there is one special one, with two figures that look strikingly like LEGO BrickHeadz in their form. Some fans insist that it is the rarest BrickHeadz set. If you want to know the truth, I encourage you to read this article.
