Monkie Kid's Lion Guardian Reviews
Bricksfanz
“The brick-built take from the LEGO Group gives the story a modern twist, which has also inspired some of the upcoming new sets. One such set is the Monkie Kid’s Lion Guardian, which nicely blends the ancient origins of the story with the updated reimagining found across the... More Monkie Kid sets.”

“Despite the criticisms I lodge against 80021 Monkie Kid’s Lion Guardian, and it being the least impressive of the sets from this wave, it should be pointed out that this is a stance informed by the absolute stellar quality of its contemporaries. This is, by no means, bad. We... More have a nice selection of important characters appearing as minifigs, a fun side-build and a pair of exciting new molds which hold quite a bit of MOC-building potential.”
BrickFanatics
“The namesake of the set is the giant lion guardian, with combines pearl and chrome gold elements into a striking color scheme not dissimilar to that of the Monkey King’s staff. The review reveals a play feature for this model as the lion opens and closes its gaping maw.... More Bricks by Mind also takes a moment to show off the new prints for the eyes with red and gold coloring. We’re sure these pieces will find plenty of use in MOCs.”
