LEGO Monkie Kid New Launches June 2024 | Unveil the Adventure: Exciting New LEGO Monkie Kid Sets Arrive!

Published: 5 months ago

Last Updated: 5 months ago

LEGO Monkie Kid is an exciting and imaginative theme inspired by the ancient Chinese legends of The Monkey King and The Journey to the West. This vibrant series follows Monkie Kid and his friends—Mei, Tang, Pigsy, Sandy, Mo, and the legendary Monkey King—as they battle evil forces and strive to uphold justice. Set in a mythical landscape, the LEGO Monkie Kid theme breathes new life into these timeless stories, blending traditional Chinese values of courage, wisdom, and resilience with modern storytelling. Through engaging LEGO sets, an animated mini-movie, and a TV series, Monkie Kid captivates audiences of all ages, offering a rich cultural experience that celebrates the power of myth and legend. At Investabrick, we love getting a new LEGO set, and there are several new LEGO Monkie Kid sets which have just been launched this June. We have taken a look at 4 of them. LEGO Monkie Kid’s Team Power Truck (80055), LEGO Monkie Kid Nine Headed Beast (80056), LEGO Monkie Kid Nezha’s Ring of Fire Mech (80057) and LEGO Monkie Kid Celestial Pagoda (80058).

This set includes a versatile truck with a removable bed that transforms into a food stand, complete with a flip-down grill and an opening window. The set also features a plane on a turntable, an excavator, and a small rock build with the green Colour Stone, sparking imaginative play. Minifigures of Monkie Kid, Mei, Sandy, Pigsy, and the 100-Eyed Demon, along with a Baby Mo the cat figure.

This set also includes small temple and mini-mech builds, providing various story starters for creative adventures. Accompanied by two Colour Stones and minifigures of the Nine-Headed Demon, Monkey King, Mei, Mr. Tang, and Monkie Kid, the set promises endless excitement. The mini-mech, equipped with a jetpack, shooter, and gripping functions, adds to the dynamic play possibilities, making this set a good addition to any Monkie Kid collection.

The set also features seven minifigures: Nüwa with a Color Stone headpiece, Monkie Kid, Mei, Pigsy, Mr. Tang, Sandy, Li Jing, and Baby Mo the cat. Standing over 61 cm high, the Celestial Pagoda is not only a visually stunning display piece but also offers a plethora of imaginative play opportunities.

 

Theme Analysis

LEGO Monkie Kid is a relatively new theme having been launched at the start of 2020. There have already been 50 sets released in this popular theme with over half of them having now retired. The initial returns look quite positive with an average annualised growth of 13%, albeit on a relatively small sample and a short time period.

These sets all come from the Series 5 sub-theme of which all 8 sets now launched haven’t retired.

We have taken a look at some of the sets that have retired in the wider LEGO Monkie Kid theme below. These include LEGO Monkie Kid Demon Bull King (80010) which has seen 72% growth from its $90 RRP since retiring at the end of 2021, LEGO Monkie Kid Iron Bull Tank has seen 50% growth since retiring at the end of 2021 and Monkie Kid Warrior Mech which has seen 36% growth since retiring at the end of 2022. As we say, very encouraging but nothing we here at Investabrick are going to hang our hat on quite yet!

Conclusion

Whilst initial signs from the earliest retiring sets within the LEGO Monkie Kid theme are positive, and we think there are some great sets included in this release, we do see them as LEGO investment opportunities as yet. We will be keeping a close eye on the themes performance over the next 12-18 months and if results continue as positively then these sets will definitely be on our shopping list as we reach the end of 2025 (assuming they are retiring at the end of that year), with our pick of the bunch being LEGO 80058, the Monkie Kid Central Pagoda.
