CMON's Monkey King

#1 Post by kevtk135 »

This time around I finally finished a mini that has been on and off the to do shelf for literally years. It's the Monkey King from CMON's Rising Sun game. One thing to note that in the game it was given a name. But word got out that CMON simply looked thru names on Wikipedia. Problem was that the name they picked for this guy was hacked, and is actually the name of "some guy" in New Zealand. People complained that Kickstarters handed over +$4 million and CMON went no further than Wikipedia for research.

With that aside it's a pretty nice little mini. The detail is a little soft, but for the size, it's ok.
Being on and off the desk so long I don't have any pics of the model early on - just one WIP and then the final result, but I figure y'all get the idea. ;) Thanks for looking.

Helena is here at hand;
And the youth, mistook by me,
Pleading for a lover's fee.
Shall we their fond pageant see?
Lord, what fools these mortals be! -Puck

Thanks.
Most all Monkey King figures have him balancing on the staff. I never thought to look to see if it was one of the martial arts techniques. Just figured it was in on of the old drawings somewhere and then just re-imagined. Pretty cool vid. In my best day, and if the monks gave me 100 years, I wouldn't be able to come even close. ;) :lol:
