The designers behind LEGO Monkie Kid had revealed that researching Chinese stories and testing with children were important in the development of the brand new theme. The product line does, however, include recognizable characters from Journey to the West. Lucas explained, "The people we spoke to have grown up with these stories, and we wanted to find out what's important to them, and how to interpret that in a new way.So, being 100% accurate to the original was not necessary, really, because we were picking up the key ingredients". The LEGO theme was developed over the course of two years and interpreted the story in a different way to the original. So we thought it was a great starting point to tell a new story that's rooted in Chinese culture". Simon Lucas, senior creative director commented, "It feels like it was in the DNA of everybody there. As a result, the story was chosen as the main inspiration for LEGO Monkie Kid. Following research in China, The Lego Group discovered that the classic Chinese story of the Monkey King and Journey to the West is widely known within Chinese culture. Although The LEGO Group had previously released LEGO Chinese New Year sets, it was the first time that the company had released an entire product line based on a Chinese theme. LEGO Monkie Kid is The Lego Group's first product line based on Chinese culture.
LEGO Monkie Kid is inspired by Monkey King and Journey to the West, which focuses on Monkie Kid and his friends, battling against a variety of demons who are trying to take over Megapolis.
