The LEGO Monkie Kid theme introduced in 2020 and is based on the centuries-old Chinese legends of The Monkey King and The Journey to the West, LEGO Monkie Kid creates a world of traditional heroes and villains based on the 16th century tale which was one of the Four Great Classical Novels of Chinese literature. Rooted in ancient Chinese culture and lore, the LEGO Monkie Kid theme and set stories reimagine the legendary character, the Monkey King, and other characters from the classic Journey to the West novel.
2025 LEGO Sets
In 2025, LEGO continued to captivate builders with a mix of innovation and collaboration. A major highlight was a partnership with Formula 1 celebrating the sport’s 75th anniversary, featuring sets for all ten F1 teams across LEGO City and DUPLO. The Nintendo collaboration expanded with Mario Kart sets starring Yoshi, Donkey Kong, and Princess Peach, while the Australian hit Bluey joined the LEGO portfolio through DUPLO and 4+ sets tailored for younger fans. Rounding out the year’s nostalgia, LEGO revealed a Game Boy model under its Icons line, furthering its series of Nintendo-inspired tributes.
