The set we are going to introduce today is LEGO 80008 Monkie Kid’s Cloud Jet from the LEGO Monkie Kid series. This is a theme inspired by Journey to the Wes. I thought The Cloud Jet looked cool and I was interested in the theme, so I chose this set, which contains four figures, namely Monkie Kid, Ai, Growl, Red Son, The Cloud Jet and jet pack.

Minifigures
Monkie Kid, the protagonist of this series, has hair spiked with forelock with molded red headband and printed gold filigree pattern, smirk and angry expressions, a headphone accessory hanging around his neck, and a Chinese character “天” in the upper right corner of the front of the clothes, which is his One of the characters in the Chinese name, with a pattern of Monkey King on the back, legs with black boots, silver key, white cloud, white stripes and clouds on sides pattern, with Monkey King’s golden staff (Journey to the Wes is called Ruyi Jingu Bang) .
Ai does not refer to artificial intelligence AI. It has a smile and a scared expression, a Magenta Handbag, and a pedestrian character with no characteristics.
Growl, one of the cow soldiers created by Red Son, is a member of the cow robot army. He wears a horn helmet, has a Chinese character “牛” pattern on the front of his clothes, and is equipped with a fire-breathing gun.
Red Son, the son of the Bull Demon King and the Iron Fan Princess, has ponytail high with orange flame pattern, wears sunglasses, and has a scar on the upper left side of his face. He looks like a delinquent. He has a necklace with the Chinese character “牛” on the front of his clothes, which represents him. Is a member of the Demon Bull Family.
The design below the jetpack allows him to maintain balance, and the balls on both sides above can be connected to the engine and adjusted to your desired position. There are curved horns at both ends of the engine, which look like horns. Most of the Demon Bull Family’s vehicles have cow-like features.
The hand is equipped with a robotic arm. The mechanical claw in front of the robotic arm can be replaced with a trans-orange flame. Do the members of the Demon Bull Family love to play with fire? This is another expression of Red Son that looks like he is very proud of doing bad things and Ai’s expression of fear. Don’t play with fire!
The Completed Model
Next, let’s introduce the motorcycle. The main color is red. It is decorated with quarter round and disk in Dark Turquoise color. The rear can be connected to The Cloud Jet.
The Cloud Jet has a switch that can eject the motorcycle. I think this design is quite interesting. The main structure is quite special. It is different from ordinary airplanes. It uses some technical bricks and the wheels are made of black item no.55889.
There are disc shooters on the left and right sides, and a huge engine using building blocks item no.30022 and item no.87606.
It has a large exhaust port, six exhaust pipes on the top, and a trans-light blue flame on the rear. It gives people a strong visual impact and makes them feel that the engine has a sense of science fiction and powerful power.
It can be said to be the biggest highlight of this LEGO set. I’m quite satisfied with the overall color and shape of The Cloud Jet, so I won’t stick any stickers on it.
Finally, let’s take a group photo. This photo shows another angry expression of Monkie Kid. He should be angry because the golden staff was taken away by Red Son.
