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.

I just got my Sun Wukong in today, he is awesome and there's like an immense amount of layers to him. I wanted monke, now I have monke.

This was my first Figura Obscura figure and I love him.

You really deserve these early looks at Figura Obscura, great video as usual Bill! Fun stuff!

Thanks for your friendship and great review!

🐒 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! ✌️

Honestly i thought they would do something mother themed like Baba yaga, but this was a dope surprise. Tempted to make a ceasar figure.

Let’s goooo. I’m so excited for this figure! I hope the new hands and feet are the door to furry torsos and limbs!!

I'm super happy and can't wait for this! Hope to see more eastern style characters in the coming future

That pose you got him in is 🔥

Saw the first round go up, thought to myself "I probably don't need this" later that afternoon, watched your review. I was ready to go, card all set, at 7:59pm. Great review! Really looking forward to this figure!

looks amazing, first Obscura i'm going to try for my only minor gripe is i wish there was a more lighthearted face for him as you yourself said Wukong was indeed a trickster so not having a face to represent that is a miss.

Detail and paint look incredible as usual. I just do not care for the limited articulation scheme and scale this company chooses. Journey to the West is an Epic tale.

Amazing review! I cannot wait to have this one in hand. What and incredible figure, and that presentation is through the roof amazing!

I was waiting for 9am to hit. To my surprise, Wukong. I love the story of the Monkey King. 🐒 This was an instant purchase.

Such an amazing review. Love all the little painted details you were able to show. Thanks so much. Now I have to buy 2 more.

The Horsemen kill it again. As usual. Beautiful figure.

Always the best when it comes to reviews for figures!!

This figure looks really good! I’m not the biggest SW aficionado but when you showed the reuse 1.0 pieces, the colors and textures immediately made me think of a Luke or Obi Wan character. Seems like a really easy custom/tribute start 🤷‍♂️

This is absolutely amazing! Great review and im glad you got the first look!

Video quality is looking extra crispy

Bravo-amazing figure 🙉👑 I’ll try incorporating this into my Mythic Legions display as a monk, and possibly using the extra head with the upcoming Lijae Elven Guard. Thanks for the awesome video!

This video is greatly appreciated! well done! Now I'm really glad I decided to order him.

Thanks for reviewing this magnificent piece of figure. So gonna get it !

I got 1 all in and 1 individual figure. With all the extra stuff it will be easy to pop and swap 2 completely different characters. Cannot wait!!!

I'm on the fence about this guy, so your video was already going to be super helpful for the figure, but I really appreciate the bits of lore you mentioned. Regarding the elbow blemish, I have the same issue with my Duban and on that arm as well. Not sure what's up with that, but be careful, if it gets caught on the upper arm, it'll start scratching off the plastic.

This figure looks amazing, I never would have guessed that they would do a Monkey King. I missed the first sale drop hopefully I'll be able to get in on the second one. Fantastic review, thanks for showing off all the features in great detail.

I really appreciate this in-depth look at the full build of this guy, Bill, especially the pop and swaps! 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!

My wishlist for Mythical Legions: Figura Obscura *Dracula *Frankenstein *The Mummy *Swamp Creature *Jack O'Lantern *Davy Jones (Undead Pirate) *Bogeyman *The Grim Reaper *Cthulhu *Dagon *Snowman *Gingerbread Man *Rudolph the Reindeer *Christmas Elf *Jack Frost *Easter Bunny *April Fools Jester *Sandman *Leprechaun (St. Patrick Days)

Fantastic sculpt and detail. Horsemen just seem to get better and better.

I was checking my emails at around 630am and I got the email link! Very colorful and detailed figure _ checked out immediately

This was a great surprise review Dorklair.

Great review! And thanks for showing so many part swaps! Really shows how great this figure is and how fun it is to make new unique characters with the modular parts. Wishing I could get 2!

He's gorgeous. Instant preorder.

Great review as always! You sold me on this figure.

Great video, you've got the format for these down. You really answered any questions I had about the figure with your thorough disassemble and reassemble process.

The green knight would be so sick. This wukong is awesome

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

Next level swaps 🔥🔥🔥

Thank you for the review! Love the pop and swaps you did.

Your review is incredible. I really like how you did so much research to learn about the character. And I think you covered it really well for not being familiar with the character before. This will be my first foray into Mythic Legions and I was already excited just based on it being Wukong. Your review has made me even more excited. I can’t wait.

You convinced me to order headless and this monkey. Would love more samurai themed legions. Hoping for more animal mutants too.

A truly fantastic figure! Army building pending! Thankyou for the in-depth insight Bill!

Swigg monkey is a perfect combination, now I want one.

This is best figure from Mythic Legions.

Blown away, so Awesome!!! Was hoping for this review!

😮 a definite must for me, super cool review man.

Awesome video! Looking forward to this figure 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

Great video -bill - you had some awesome swaps with this one

Those pop n swaps are amazing also!

Dragon Ball was basically this, Star Wars and Superman mixed up. But yeah, this looks great! Dunno if I have the space for it, but very cool!

Super excited for this one! Lots of photography ideas! Thanks for the break down Bill!!

Yea this gona be my first mythic figure 🔥🔥🔥

Awesome review! This is my first time getting a Mythic from Store Horseman. I’m kicking myself for not buying the Cosmic Legions all in when they had it, but never again…

I’m watching this for the 2nd time!! Great video Bill!! So excited to get this in hand

I did preordered hopefully they will have Pigsy,Monk Sha,Monk Tong and White horse in trhe future releases.Awesome review.Thank you

Nice man - love the set-up! Good to see you.

Incredible review man, I appreciate how you broke down the figure in such detail and showed the pop&swap potential. Nearly choked on my coffee when you said he ate like 100 of those peaches 🤣 I missed the morning drop, with me luck tonight!

Such a great review! Love these!!

This is freaking awesome!

Thanks for this complete review! Exceptional figure it seems to be.

If you have any Cosmic Legions test shots on hand, put one of the heads on a space suit body for Captain Simion and the Space Monkeys!

Very cool and informative video. Cool part swap segment too.

Great review! Awesome release🔥🔥🔥

🔥 孫悟空 🔥 Jealous that you got to handle this so early, but deeply appreciate having your vid the day this guy drops. Hyped that the Horsemen made this. Keeping it absolutely 💯, I’m embarrassed that my internalized racism didn’t let me guess Wukong these last few days. But OF COURSE. Well done, Four Horsemen. Respect and it’s deeply appreciated. ✌🏾➕✊🏾➕🐵

Wow that figure looks sick, awesome man 👍.

Excellent deep dive Bill!

Awesome pop and swap options!

Great review, Amazing sculpt, looks fantastic. That said, at this point I think every company should adopt the mafex configuration for their articulation, It looks great, doesn't sacrifice that much in terms of sculpt and moves smoothly. Nice to see you have the exclusive reveal.

I like how you’ve done a nice reset showing the breakdown of building FourHorsemen bodies. Very instructional. I like how those guys just continue to throw out more and more pieces and surprises. As shown the furry hands can have several purposes. I’m quite happy with the accessories. The staff I was hoping had a size change interchangeability. But that is a minor nit to pick. This looks fun. Can’t wait till end June/beginning of July. There are more travelers in this party as they Journey to the West. More options for obscure figures.

This video helped so much. Such an amazing figure and great informative video.

My god it looks amazing, can't wait to get it and pose it against the djinn

This figure is beautiful

As a chinese ethnic, this figure has amazing details to the chinese armor. The waist cloth seems to be threaded in the wrong direction though. While it is understandable to make it the size it is so it can accommodate all the details, wukong is wayyyyyy too big. Great review though. And thanks for taking the time to read up on this folklore character. 👍🏿

Very nice.I love the chinese drama face.❤

Thank you for this review, I just put my order in🙏🏼

Fantastic review, can't wait to get my hands on one of these ❤🐵

Awesome figure and review. So glad you had it in advance. Of course is a matter of preferences but this might be one of my favorite 4HS figure. Many options, great sculpt and completely new parts.

thanks so much for the great review. Darn it, I said to myself, I don't care what they came up with this time, I was going to save money and skip it, because it's not a special holiday. But what do you know, they came up with something from my own culture that I just cannot skip!t

Great review. It looks awesome.

Great review. Down the road I want to put the Ghost part's from the Undead Builder Pack on this body.

Incredibly detailed review Bill, it's tempting to pick up a couple more for kitbashing.

Sorry I missed this one by like a week as he looks pretty cool

Hell yeah Bill!!!

Oh Man! I just bought a Sun Wukong aka Monkey King from BBTS a month ago. This one looks more animalistic. Possible I could use this one for High Evolutionary Army. 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.

...Add some brown wings from the first Kickstarter (then Gothitropolis, now Mythic Legions) and behold... ACTION FIGURE EXCELLENCE...

I would have loved gripping feet that would have made this really unique.

Bill, a cool surprise. I honestly had no idea what was coming. I missed the first drop..I will try the second 'hoping the Horsemen added more stock for the second go around. You got your creative juices flowing for the swaps. Although I have no real connection to the character this figure is awesome ✌️

24:10 add some wings and you've got a flying monkey from Wizard of Oz

Really strong Planet of the Apes Caesar vibes 😎👍 This is going to pair well with the AWOK line and General Thade 💪🦍 Here's hoping that we also get his Animal companions, Piggy, Ziggy, and Biff lol 😂

Looks fantastic! Just wish FHM would scale down their heads slightly(just a nitpick). Hope I can snag one in the second drop.🤞

I'm a bit sad about what people are saying after this reveal. Sun Wu Kong is a great folklore character and the Figura Obscura goal, as I see, is to bring another figures that haven't connection with classical medieval fantasy.

Just got mine as a Father's day gift and it is nothing short of amazing!!!! Ive been struggling to recreate your 360 pose. How did you do that??

They should definitely do the Easter bunny

perhaps this means they go toward an eastern concept with Onis, youkai, or even a nine tailed fox?

An awesome character that would pair well with this guy is a figure of Nezha. I would love to see the horsemen's iteration of him.

They should make a Odin with his Ravens

I’m surprised I see people complaining about this in the cabal and saying they’re passing on it. They’ll be sorry later. I got 2!👍. Wonder if a monkey riding the d20 wolf would look weird. 🤔

Goh dang

I always have trouble with their tails. Just got mine, and it's a pain in the butt.
