Any good Son Wukong figures? I know four horsemen have a "super sayian" son wukong coming and fury toys has 2 versions of son wukong. Any others out now for a decent price. Been playing Black Myth and now I really want a monkey in my collection
There's this
>>11140710This is actually pretty much it for the Western market. It's alright.
>>11140710You have it? If so how's the articulation?
NOTTA did this one, and it was well received. There is a DX version with more stuff, but it was locked in a three pack with two other characters.
>>11140728Yeah he looks nice, closest I think to an actual black myth version of the main character ... but it looks like he's in the aftermarket realm of price mark up now really a shame
>>11140737I'd wait and see. I suspect the game's popularity is gonna spawn a flood of 3rd party Wukong figures.
>>11140749nta isn't it not very popular though?

>>11140751It moved over 10 million copies in less than a week. The only people who don't like it are the ones mewling about how it isn't fair Concord and Star Wars: Outlaws failed. Those people don't buy video games or action figures anyway, so fuck 'em.
>>11140751It's like the biggest game ever in China.You know, the people who make all the third party toys.
I have the original Four Horseman one.Great sculpt, great accessories. He's so stiff though.Fury Toys looks amazing though. Very expressive.
>>11140765Nah, I don't like Souls like games so I know I won't like Wukong. I'm not a fan of China, but it wouldn't stop me from trying their game. It being a Souls like will though.
>>11140781It's not really a Souls like. The combat is more dynamic and fast paced. It's got a way more straightforward narrative, less punishing difficulty, and different progression system. It's more like a Sekiro or Devil May Cry.
>>11140756Damn that looks grea..... sold out
>>11140704There’s that 3 inch fortnite mini figure one. He doesn’t come with a staff but he does come with a grenade launcher.
>>11140781It's not souls like at all, you fucking stupid zoomer. Play more fucking games. You sound stupid as fuck.
>>11140899Toys?
>>11140713No swivel arms and a thick plastic skirt hindering good leg articulation. These were also sold at 99c Only Stores last year for $6. Not worth it, unless youre good at fixing said problems
>>11140704Just give it a month. There's probably going to be a few companies announcing stuff with how popular the game has been
>>11140795>>11140899Meh, it's close enough for me to know I won't like it. At least I'm not playing it because I won't like the gameplay instead of something stupid like there not being enough black women in a game about mythical China.
>>11140756Shit he came back in, hell yeah I jumped on it and pre-ordered him !!
>>11141825Outside of those journey to the west drawing toriyama did this is the closest son goku has looked to son wukong
>>11140704
>>11143771Someone is making DC's Monkey King? That's pretty damn random but also pretty interesting. Any specific details? This is the first I've seen of it.
>>11140704Get the chink classic.
>>11143787I just saw it on twitter from the Gene Yang (the writer of the comic) maybe it was just a custom figure someone gave him.
>>11143798details?
>>11143826Toy Notch Sun Wukong.
>>11143808Interesting, and super impressive if a custom. I guess he didn't include any other context? >>11143798Seems like there was a reissue of this guy recently, and while I like it, it does feel a bit dated at this point. Still an iconic version of the character.
>>11140704I'm unbelievably sick of Monkey Kangz. How does a nation as enormous as china not have more than one culturally significant myth to draw characters from?
>>11143900That's just the most famous one. There's also the Jade Emperor, Nuwa and Fuxi, the Eight Immortals, the Dragon Kings, and, like, Mulan.
>>11143904The warriors of the three kingdoms like Lu Bu and Guan Yu, Erlang, Nezha, etc etc. Saying Wukong is the only significant mythological figure would be like saying Thor is the only significant Norse figure because they only know him from Marvel.
>>11143900How blissful is life for a stupid man like you? I’m actually jealous.
>>11143904Then fucking make some of that.>>11143910It's more like if they literally only ever made media of Thor and nothing else.
>>11144008Except there are games featuring these characters, tv shows, movies. Just because you're unaware of these things doesn't mean they don't exist.
>>11144010At a combined ratio of 10:1 maybe, dynasty warriors aside. Does romance of the three kingdoms even count? That's pseudohistorical.
>>11140704Two of China's favorite heroes combined.
>>11144011there are TONS of chinese dramas about other myths and periods of historyfact is simply no one gives a shit about this stuff other than wu kong and three kingdoms unless they are in china, its not marketable
>>11143900Typical American.
>>11144388And I'd argue that Monkey King is so popular among Western people solely because of Dragon Ball.
>>11144412I just spoke to someone who is fully aware of Dragon Ball but had no idea what Monkey King was. "You know Black Myth Wukong!?" they asked, and I told them a bit of what it's from then said it inspired stuff like DB and they had no clue, so I don't think that's accurate. Anthro animals in pop culture are quite a constantly popular thing, and Wukong is just an extension of that on top of DB/anime like power levels. It isn't hard to understand why someone might latch onto the idea of Wukong as a character for a number of reasons. Certain other myths may be too rooted in a different culture for most people to so quickly or easily latch onto especially with no basis like from a Disney movie they grew up with, but a powerful monkey stands aside from all that (at least from the get go).
>>11144008Maybe they will now that their AAA scene seems to be starting up. I want more Condor Hero stuff desu.
>>11144545>Condor HeroNow that's a throwback. Long hair man with a buster sword is all I really remember from it though.
>>11143843>Interesting, and super impressive if a custom. I guess he didn't include any other context?I looked it up on his twitter and the figure is by Dennis Chan (always bumping). He mentions being a toy sculptor but the monkey prince figure seems like he just made it for the writer of the comic.
>>11140704I prefer the inflames 1/6 monkey king.
Looks like romankey is making a Wukong figure. Should be good.
>>11150640Fuck dropped pic
>>11143798Have this guy and he's one of my favorites in my collection.
>>11140704huh?
>>11160944Don't waste the 3 brain cells you have on thinking about it
