As a kid with Exo-Force and even as an adult, I love when Lego includes the mech access scaffolding. Super fun to pose or have edgy minifigs fight over who gets to pilot it.

I love to see a mech that's more posable than ever. Yet I also feel we're still far from what an action figure could do, which ultimately is what I'd expect from these... The scaffolding might be bare bones for some, but to me it's perfect, I just love _the idea_ of a mech hangar bay, and this is definitely enough. I didn't expect the mechanic robots, that's also a welcome addition.

I appreciate you still making Monkie Kid reviews, I love this line! I’ve been waiting for Mei to get a mech set!

Fun fact: You can clip the interchangable parts for the speeder or mech onto the little crane provided to make it look like they're being installed or removed.

Looks like a modern day Exo-Force set and that's the best compliment I can give a mech.

THIS IS SO COOL! I was already sold from the gorgeous design and good flexibility, then you blew my mind with the swap-out blasters and booster pack. Looks like I need to check out more Monkie Kid sets!

I didn't know this set was a thing. Now i NEED IT. Particularly as a mecha nerd this is right up my alley. Thank you for enlightening me to this Exo-Force 2024 edition set!

Such a nice surprise to see you do a Monkie Kid review again 😃 Thank you Jang 👍🏽

Once she’s been around a little longer, I hope we get a mech like this for Sora!

The scaffolding fits PERFECTLY with the custom ones I've made for the exo-force mechs I have, so I'm very happy they included it. The little robo-figures are very nice too! Only issue is the tail feels very unnecessary and tacked on, luckily it's easy to remove (it does make the back look a little odd but it's not a major issue.)

Amazon had the exclusive rights to the first waves of the sets. Then that ended and no one seemed to pick it up so now LEGO seems to be the only ones carrying the theme. I think that's why no one seems to care about the theme, plus the pricing doesn't help.

This set has really caught me by surprise! Great design and could fit in with many previous mechs (especially Exo-Force)

This particular set feels/looks the most Exo-Force any Lego mech has been since Exo-Force to me. Looks amazing!! Definitely going to have to grab it, and glad to see all the extra features like the modular parts from the scooter(?) and bending knees *and* toes! One thing I wish it had (that I might have to mod in) is using those boosters, perhaps on the back.

It's unfortunate that monkey kid is always more expensive than equivalent Ninjago sets

The hanger is such a cool addition

I’m happy to watch any lego review on this channel. These videos are super chill and help me wind down for the night.

Ooh, this is fancy! And it’s definitely giving Exo-Force energy! Love the little bots!

This thing gives me major EXOFORCE vibes, one of the best themes ever.

omg that speeder! I'm gonna have to part that out, wish they made some small MK sets

thanks for the review! I was afraid you wouldn't cover this one since you don't do a lot of monkie kid, but this review made my day! i especially liked the part where you just put the mech into different poses. so thanks again and i look forward to your next review!

YES! Been so long since MK review. Appreciate your effort to review this regardless of the lack of marketing in NA region.

I love to watch your great vids while i build legos. it really boosts my creativity and is very relaxing. Keep up the great work!

glad you reviewed this. never really cared about monkie kid, but saw this set on their website and was very interested. might pick it up just for how awesome it looks.

It’s good looking mech. I really like the maintenance bay or structure. I think that’s really cool. It would have been neat to have some sort of hoses or connections that could be made from the beach to the maintenance structure to show maybe fuel or fluids being replenished or maybe nano particles being added to repair the structure. I also agree the small bots are really neat and I’m thinking 6 minions would feel better with this set.

There's a lot of good in the Monkie Kid line. Big complex mechs will always be cool, regardless of theme. As always, though, most of us can't buy every Lego set we want because of the price and the space they take up in our homes. I want this one but it's competing with a lot of great stuff right now. Maybe a sale somewhere down the road will entice me to pick it up. Anywhozle, great video as always Jang.

Great review! Looks like it would be fun and reasonably priced. Those robots are neat. Makes me want to make a few.

I feel like you could easily get the arm mobility you want by just flipping the joints around. Have the spinny part up top, and the hinge below. You dont really need forearm rotation as much as you want a swivel at the elbow.

I have a few MK sets and this one looks to be in my wish list as the parts look great and I love the mech build itself [though I agree - that tail is a bit weird, but easy to leave off]. Love the flyer and how the modules can be installed onto the mech. Also really like those bots! Great review! I wish the numbers for Mookie Kid reviews were on par with Lego City so we could see more, but I am grateful for what you have reviewed so far! Also amazed that the price is not all that bad as this theme rarely has good deals!

Lloyd's mech from Ninjago still stands unmatched. By far the coolest one LEGO did.

Seeing what Lego can do with modern building techniques and parts to build a mech, makes me wonder what modern ExoForce would look like.

7:40 That's a great action pose.

Monkie kid is by far my favorite theme. I own every set . This is what lego used to be before it all became just a display model

“Stand by for Titanfall!” More Gundam than Titan, but it is well build enough that this mech can fit into pretty much any other theme that has mechs and not feel too out of place. My complements to the lego designers. Mei’s stuff always has the best color scheme!

Funny to see that little printed console tile at 11:51, that's been around for a couple of decades.

nice mech, i appreciate the torso mounted cockpit. WIll get one if i can find it on sale. Wish TLG would do a western oriented theme like this...king arthur maybe

With 2 or 3 more minifigs, this set would be perfect. Nice review !

Extra kudos for the cute robots 🤖and great chuck minibuild 🧱

Oh gosh! Am so glad you review this set. Will watch after work!

I am in the minority that appreciates Monkie Kid, thanks for calling me out :P I understand with the limited shelf space and lots of new sets each year, that our (Dutch/European) Lego stores don't have much if any of the Monkie kid stuff (few years ago when i asked for a set they had a bit in stock in the back) on sale. I do like to see sets built up and shown off before i buy them, so i do rely a lot on your videos for more information then the marketing department at Lego gives us. So thank you for still showing Monkie Kid when you like to. I like to hear your opinion, i like your voice and i like your video and review styles. As far as pricing goes, i feel like with the amount of details Lego invests in minifigures, prints, stickers and vinyl sheets accesories the sets are big and expensive, but within the Lego price range not even out-landish any more (they still are not cheap within Lego either). Star Wars and 4+ have way worse values in their waves every year. To me your a Dang good channel Jang!

I did actually see this and the Megapolis one in my local Lego store (in the uk), so maybe they are trying selling them in stores in the west again?

Those golden hands remind me of Striker Eureka's brass knuckles in Pacific Rim. Love this mech, and can't wait to get it.

Thanks JANG for reviewing a Monkie Kid set. 😀

I am glad too see you Jang revewing MK set :)

I like this Mei's Dragon mech set. Will go great with Jays Titan mech I built last year. Both mechs can get repaired by the awesome repair bots. Definitely alot of play value in this set.

I love lego mechs looks awesome I too grew up with exo force

this mech has a very strong Patlabor vibe

Fan of Monkie Kid here, I had almost all the big sets of each wave !

Looks fantastic awesome review jang 👍

The gantry technic pin and hole arrangement at the base looks like it's ready for future mech gantries. Could it be a series of mechs with gantries that work a la the modular buildings? I anticipate another mech with a similar system coming out in the future. Might pick this up for that alone.

Robots remind me of the 1999 Star Wars Pit Droids!

Pretty solid mech. I would definitely get rid of the tail and fins. The only thing missing is a face print for the mech. If the "boosters" had with the blue/green instead of red on top.

Scaffolding backdrops always add so much to mech sets even if they dont have much to them

Cool looking mech. The head and tail are pretty redundant for me. I'd probably mod it to get rid of them both and bulk up that quite plain back plate with a back pack of some sort. Those shoulder and knee joint designs are cool.

Personally, I think some of the best designed sets these days are in the Monkie Kid line. I keep forgetting about it, since it is sold exclusively online in Australia. I think for all you get here - scaffolding, complex Mech and flight pod - it seems great value to me. If I had to choose one theme only to buy from, it would be Monkie Kid.

I definently want to pick this up, I think this is my favorite mech from the Monkie Kid line, I just need to get the cash together for it lol

I would pay an extortionate amount of money for an Exo Force reboot/continuation

Lego mechs don't usually hit the mark for me, but this one hits all the right notes. Thanks for the review

Robot screams. Patlabour, appleseed and probotector. Im buying this!

This set was a surprise I genuinely think this is the best mech of 2024 you can get it in poses even squading down The only thing I don’t like is the tail it kinda feels like an afterthought would have been cool to have some kind of wings on the back but I guess they didn’t want to copy Lloyd’s Titan Mech which they heavily took inspiration from. You can’t tell me they didn’t pay some homage with the feet the hands and the overall shape of it

Monkie Kid set quality is what i wish Ninjago had. The difference in quality between the average set is pretty distinct.

Really considering buying this one! Feels very Exo-Force-esque to me. Which I love!

Monkey Kid sets are mostly not available anywhere in UK stores even Smith's toys one of UKs biggest Lego sellers dont stock them.

For once this is a very nice and poseable mech with even accessories, a smaller build, some hangar frame in place of useless minifigs that make the price go up. In an ideal world, I'd have wanted this one to sell for 79€ but still, even for Monkie Kid standards (which are always of premium quality), it's quite a reasonable price imho. I just own the Ultra Mech but I'm really tempted to display it alongside this one here. It just fills my Exo-Force heart with joy tbh.

I agree with folks who like the mech scaffold - definitely reminds me of Exo-Force base!

Man, I like the mech but I really wish that little shippy was its own set. It has so much character!

Fantastic looking mech!

It’s nice to see Jang reviewing some more Monkie Kid sets again. I actually just finished this set & I love it. Finally Mei gets the large set of the wave!

Isn't it possible to invert the elbow articulation to get the movement you want ?

Isn't it a giant Jade Blade? Or not? Where is the gong? Or did I miss it?

If I'd seen this on display without any signs, I'd have assumed it was a Ninjago mech.

Pilot the EVA, Monkie Kid

Hi jang! Will you be doing reviews for the ninjago January wave? Would love to know ❤

Jang, I'm one of them! I appreciate this so much. This one is in my wishlist.

i NEED those gold bionicle hands....

In my opinion that mech may be the best Lego has ever sold.

It has kneeeeeees!!!!!

One of the better mechs honestly.

The flaps on the shoulder are just straight up evangelion my guy

I'm one of those Monkie Kid zealots who was sad when sets were no longer sold in US stores, but I definitely get it that I'm the minority. I'm plenty happy the theme is still going, though. I do wish the show was more easily watchable. Last I checked several seasons were behind an Amazon kids+ playwall.

I like Monkie Kid! More reviews, please!

If the tail was thicker and the legs were angled it might have look less strange.

mechs are very fun and a popular sell these days why haven’t they rebooted exo force yet!?

How date you have fun with your mech!!!!! 😂😂

Ahh it’s a new year with new sets! That means it’s been at least a year since I got back into lego, probably time for some dusting and rearranging/sorting. I’ve been out of the loop for a couple months and am glad to see more Monkey Kid sets.

Love the mechs

Monkie Kid is basically Ninjago 2 in terms of aesthetics and set design, right? While _Ninjago is still going?_ How are they not eating into each others' sales really badly?

This is certainly one of the better-looking mechs Lego has designed in this post-Exo-Force mech era. This looks like a mech-action figure that you can pose and play with while still looking good, something, imo, Lego has repeatedly failed at in this post-Exo-Force mech era. Not a fan of the characters, but I'm actually considering picking this one up. Also, I'm a big fan of that construction zone-like portion. It creates a scene and helps make this set feel alive. This mech looks great and has wonderful pose-ability between the use of Bionicle and Exo-Force joint parts.

This is really cool

As a Ninjago fan, Monkie Kid bothers me not because I see it as competition for my favorite theme, but because it feels like an amped-up and polished version of Ninjago in almost every way, while also being prohibitively expensive in comparison and being much less accessible market-wise. Monkie Kid is what I wish Ninjago could have been.

Could be selling that Mech for £60-£70 if they didn't include the waste of space scaffolding and they separated that awesome Little Ship out into a like a £18 set. Then I'd be buying an £18 set and giving them some money for monkey kid where as normally they get nothing from me 😅 I like some of the designs within that range but overall there's nowhere near enough value in there for their prices and being exclusive to the Lego store and not getting any good deals on them kills the licence for me😅 To some extent everything just comes down to me being already bogged down trying to budget for the stuff I've chosen to collect prior to this stuff and not being able to afford any of it.. Too many products too keep up with..

Hi Jang, can you compare this Mech to Optimus Prime? Is it same height? thx

very cool

This looks great

All I'm sayin is that this would have looked better with trans-neon green, trans-green is rather "meh".

I think monkie kid would be more popular if we could get them from more than just the lego online store. I have one set from monkie kid, that I got at legoland by chance. I suspect the viewership is down on these videos just because most of us figure they aren't worth the hassle of ordering directly from the lego online shop. To be honest I'm mostly watching out of curiosity, just to see what they're doing in this.

I like monkie kid :) It feels easier to collect rather than ninjago

I would be more interested in Monkie kid if it was ever available. Interesting to hear it stopped being available. In my country, it was never ever available.

dear god. Those little bots are incredible.

Needs a V-Fin :P

Wait jang, when did that Optimus prime in the background show up!? 😮
