Finally—Winson Ma’s reimagining of the Monkey King! The futuristic, time-traveling Yuan Kong, with cyber mask and armor, stands atop the remains of a vanquished Chilie (a mechanized Bull Demon King that Facebook entertainingly translates to “e-cow”). Based on his one-off figure created for Animation-Comic Hong Kong 2007—and now part of a fully-developed storyline, War in the West: Time Wars. Brass mask with mirror-like eyes, staff made from 2 swords, fire sword, big gun, extra hands (with and without gloves), a sword hilt to stick in his backpack—and a stand that is a character in itself. Unbelievable detail. A work of art. I have no room to put this!
