About this product

Most brick mechs borrow from anime or games; this one borrows from the Monkey King, so the silhouette is built around a headdress, a staff and a robe-like skirt instead of armour plates. That changes what the build feels like: fewer flat panels, more angled pieces to keep the outline readable from the front. HUIQIBAO sells it as a display MOC, meant to stand on a shelf rather than be posed in a battle scene. The listing gives no piece count and does not say how many joints move, so check both if posability matters to you.
