the outfit is pretty sick, but would indeed like a more mean looking face with more / longer hair and facial hair

 

[Wanderer]

The outfit is beautifully sculpted. But i'm massively unimpressed with the head sculpt. It's not bad but I don't think it's particularly fitting for such a majestic figure!
I would've been all over a 1/6 70's TV version of Monkey though

I feel the same way, not at all feeling the head sculpt. I can't help but see a bit of David Tennant in there

I actually like the head sculpt. It's clear they went for the Chinese tv show look that I loved as a kid.

Finally found the actors name. Just google "liu xiao ling tong sun wukong". I'm 99% sure thats the wukong they're going for as it's what most Chinese probably associate as Wukong. Anyone else ever see that show?

That's my review . Boy, times have changed. The Tao figure is quite nice for the time, but this new figure looks badass. Easily my first purchase from InFlames!!!

Another name for the Monkey King is Hanuman, from Hinduism.

So is thus up for pre-order anywhere?

 

[fosing]

i thought he was turning into a bouquet of flowers or something.

 

[Lejuan]

That's my review .

I should've guessed by the monkeys + samurais call

I look forward to your review of this one

 

[TonyMeis]

Can't wait to get this! Very well done!

Wow... in for one.

I trust that Inflames will deliver a quality product like Metal Boss releases.

I've never heard of this company before. Where does one order, and how much do their figures normally run?

 

[sky_captain]

Why does he have Nigel Tufnel's face?

 

[snoop101]

This looks retarded

DEFINITE must have for me. Love the Monkey King!
