The custom I am showing here is the Monkey King - a wellknown figure from a claasical Chinese novel 'Journey to the West'.
I was born in 1980s, to people of my generation, the old version of Journey to the West is the greatest TV series in those days. Every time I watch it, it brought back many sweet childhood memories. To comemorate the classic charater and reminisce my childhood, I made this custom from scratch. You can see in the photo, the head of the custom is made of epoxy putty, athe face and hair are carved based on the image of Monkey King. I would like to give a very brief introduction of Monkey King as some people may not know the story. Sun Wukong is the name given to this character by his master, the latter part of which means "Awakened to Emptiness". He is given the title of "Handsome Monkey King" by his monkey tribe. He has some powerful skills, his primary weapon is "Ruyi Jingu Bang", weighs 18,000 pounds.He is brave, intelligent, honest, powerful, and responsible. He aid and protect Xuanzang on his journey to from China to India fending off attacks from various monsters and calamities. The custom is made based on the image of the actor of the series, Liu Xiao Ling Tong. I would also like to pay my respects to the novel, the actor and show my love to G.I.JOE by making this custom. The attached are the photos of how I made this custom. Any comments will be welcome Hope you enjoy it |

Neat and intricate sculpting. Very nice.
The Journey to the West is one of my favorite stories. This is the classic t.v. version of Son Wukong and one of my favorites. I am a fan of the Japanese version Saiyuuki too with Shingo Katori in the role of Goku. I have to laugh each time I watch it. Many people are not familiar with the story as you pointed out earlier- most however, are familiar with the Dragonball series. I would point out that the series and character of the Saiyan Goku is loosely based or inspired by the adventures of the Monkey King Son Wukong. |
