JLB, although not my top choice, but they do come out with characters that other brands, even Lego do not. The mini figures follows Lego design, but. JLB seems to be coming out with Asian-Oriental anime superheroes characters or Asian folklore.
Hello Kitty, famous all over the world, became more famous after Sanrio anounced that Hello Kitty is not a cat. Hello Kitty as minifig is actually not bad. Cutie.
But, the characters from "Journey to the West" (Chinese :西游记; pinyin: Xī Yóu Jì) as Lego minifigs are really unique. These characters are like demi-gods from Chinese folk religion with Taoist and Buddhist teachings. People actually pray to the monkey god. I actually saw this set selling recently at a PC fair (overpriced, so I did not buy it). The minifigs are not really great in detail, but some looks better in actual vs. what's illustrated, JLB should improve their side accessories like SY and not always give the same boring bricks.

Journey to the West! I am surprised. JLB even make the weapons correct. Although not so detail, but still something unique.
ReplyDeleteYes, this set has been out for so long. Till mow, no other brand comes out with this theme yet, although better Sun Wukong can be obtained from KOG sets
