Wukong is the monkey king a old time mythological character from the Chinese culture is like a Superman or Goku type character actually Goku is based on him
@@UnparalleledUniverse No, he's most certainly based on the Monkey King. Son Wukong is his name. Dragon Ball was based on Journey to the West, and Goku is analogous to Son Wukong in many ways.
Nura is wearing a Mino...a traditional japanese rain coat made from rush grass, same with his hat or ronin-gasa, love that they added these accessories...its what 1st drew me to this set 👍
When this first went up for preorder I could not resist--3 incredible looking figures with soft goods, tons of accessories, AND based on Asian lore/aesthetics. My only worry was the fact it was a preorder and I wasn't sure when it would be released, but getting it in hand and playing with the figures made me a believer in NottaToys quality.
I just got the Wukong figure. I'm so happy to finally have a version of the Monkey King in my collection. He is one of my favorite characters in all of fiction. Good review.
I had to come back and leave a comment here. Great review! First, I love seeing the return and update of the intro animation as well as the music. These figures look amazing! I think I'll have to get on that deluxe 3-pack after the new year. When you first mentioned these, I thought I was just gonna get Wukong (I'm a fan of The Monkey King character and legend) but after seeing you review I want them all. I'm glad you got the review up. Keep doin' dope $#!%
Amazing review, I lacked and didn't get the full box set but now seeing the review. I regret it. Such great articulation, the only thing I wish they had more would be the ankle pivots.
Nice new intro. These things are outstanding and it was a pleasure checking them out in detail with you. Great review. I hope to see more from you this year! Happy Holidays!
Great Review. Really thorough; which I appreciate. These have been on my radar for a while but lack of funds have stopped me from committing to a preorder. But these look like they're on a whole other level. I'll be picking up Ronin Nura at some point for sure.
Since BBTS didn't have the 3pk available any more. Had to buy them individually, wish I could get copy of the comic book from somewhere. Awesome review!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The necklace depicts the Bagua or eight trigrams representing the variations of the states of Yin and Yang. Those trigrams are squared to form the 64 hexagrams of the I Ching. Dope review brother I’m gonna cop the set.
Dope review man, just got these 3 figs and man I love them. I will say, my eyes couldn’t see the detail as much until your review. Camera is also awesome made. Great work
Wow, been waiting over a year or so for these figures to come out! Didn't know they put it all in a 3 pack. Must be pricey. This is how action figures should be, comes with lots of accessories, detailed, articulated, just great overall.
Awesome review ❤ I love it! The clothing on the samurai/ronin character is something like a raincoat, which I think that matches the character well. great 3pack !
not so Original monkey king and that Nura figure reminds me of a charcter in the Movie Big Trouble in little china with Kurt Russle ....nice figures making me want to buy a set now
WAY TOO MUCH ARM HAIR! lol,Youre not familiar with journey to the west Wade? I figured you would be considering how influential it has been to hiphop. You should definitely read it (or read any of the dozens of adaptations or homages to it) great review as always and great looking figures (too much arm hair though)
Nah I’m not familiar and now I feel like an Idiot hahahah I don’t know if this guy is supposed to be the same WuKong from that story though. In the comic it seems a little different. Either way….these figures are amazing
The "necklace" on Yan is called a bagua (in Mandarin) or an Eight-Trigrams mirror (the centerpiece is usually a mirror) that Chinese people may sometimes hang above their doorway to ward off evil spirits, and yup his drink bottle is a hollowed-out calabash.
I have the wukong and once I opened it i was blown away so I hit big bad for the Yan. Now after this review I went back again for the samurai. Lol hope this big bad pre orders come through
These are Great figures Wade!,are they available now or next year?,I have to track these down,great review 👏 btw,was thinking just what you said about Mezco being the inspiration for a lot of companies now getting into the 1/12th scale!,figures which as said can be better in detail,& some of their boxes aren't big at all & still fit all the excessories!
I was totally anticipating you referring to all of these guys as Goku for the entire review 😅. But great figures and great review! I’m gonna try to hold off on getting any of these… but who knows what’ll happen in 2023.
The figures looks awesome (I PO Yan & Wukong on BB, the 3 pack isn’t available anymore :( But the video game coming is mind blowing and would make me buy a PS5 🕹️, only if I had more time!
Is it just me but the Nura figure's hs looks a lot like Joe Odagiri. I wonder if they based the others on specific actors too. I can't figure out who Yan could be, but he looks like he could be a classic Shaw Brothers kung fu character.
@@UnparalleledUniverse He is straight up just the Monkey King, the Monkey King's real name is even Sun Wukong and he is known for having a magic staff and the ability to shape shift
I think the Nura figure is based on the Ghost of Tsushima Kensei Armor with the Deadly Rival's hat, there's a color pattern that closely resembles this figure.
That intro is 🔥
🤣🤣🤣 hell mutha fuckin yeah it is!!!!
Must have been done by a stop motion master

Goku!?!?!???
I don’t think this guy is the same Monkey King character though right?

@@brycebitetti1402 ah ok I see! Thanks for the info!
I was gonna say the same sense I had just watched the jackie chan jet li movie the forbidden Kingdom where I think jet li plays the monkey King.
@ceballos2389 yes he does!,great film,I have it on dvd 👍

Lol a "jug of milk" that is some Sake
Man, I love this Wukong. He’s so much fun to play around with. It’s such a great version of this character.
They r like little movie props. Pieces of art
I just got the Wukong figure. I'm so happy to finally have a version of the Monkey King in my collection. He is one of my favorite characters in all of fiction. Good review.

Great review! The new intro is ...BARS (as the Tuesday Crew would say)!
Thank you!!!! Done by the legendary DGDX!
I am BLOWN AWAY by these figures honestly.
I just discovered your channel and THIS. WOW. Thanks for the review and turning me onto these! Amazing!
No problem! Thank you for checking out the video!
Kudos for the new intro Wade. A dope set and a great review.
Amazing review, I lacked and didn't get the full box set but now seeing the review. I regret it. Such great articulation, the only thing I wish they had more would be the ankle pivots.
Mine arrived yesterday. Set is amazing and figures are so Solid and feel great in hand.
I've been watching these on BBTS for what seems like forever. Appreciate the in-depth review.
Nice new intro. These things are outstanding and it was a pleasure checking them out in detail with you. Great review. I hope to see more from you this year! Happy Holidays!

I've been watching these on BBTS for what seems like forever. Appreciate the in-depth review. Needed that Mezco comparison
No problem! Glad you enjoyed the review. Hopefully BBTS ships soon, I know a lot of people are waiting for them.
These are phenomenal! That Monkey King figure really steels the show!
Wu Kong is monkey king! Omg it's amazing
The necklace depicts the Bagua or eight trigrams representing the variations of the states of Yin and Yang. Those trigrams are squared to form the 64 hexagrams of the I Ching. Dope review brother I’m gonna cop the set.
NEW INTROOOOOOOOOO
Yeeeeeah!!!! DGDX with the fire!!!
Dope review man, just got these 3 figs and man I love them. I will say, my eyes couldn’t see the detail as much until your review. Camera is also awesome made. Great work
Top notch Figures. After watching Your review I ordered the set immediately lol. More impressed having them on my shelf
These would go great with 2 of mine Lone Roach Gomez !!
Wow, been waiting over a year or so for these figures to come out! Didn't know they put it all in a 3 pack. Must be pricey. This is how action figures should be, comes with lots of accessories, detailed, articulated, just great overall.
So glad you put up a review more people need to be talking about these figures imo best figures of the year.
The Unparalleled Cap doing the New Unparalleled intro 🔥
Hell yeah!!! @dgdx Straight killed it!
Cool Review!
I never know when stuff like these figures are available for sale.
Wade, where’s the best way to learn about stuff like this?
i had no inclination for this set but after seeing your super detailed review i want them in my collection right this moment.
Great review! I love this set, one of my favorite pick-ups this year. One minor thing you forgot, the effects glow under black light.
Super stoked for this release!! Ordered it day one... Is the Samurai dude rockin a pipa on his belt?! That's wild haha!
Awesome review ❤ I love it! The clothing on the samurai/ronin character is something like a raincoat, which I think that matches the character well. great 3pack !
Thanks!!! Good point about the rain protection. That’s probably it!
That's more articulation than Hasbro's Spiderman figures.
Those are amazing where can we get them how much it cost?
Man…waiting on my Wukong. He’ll be my first Nottaa, so I’m READY to find out what y’all already know. They look GREAT.
Awesome review as always brother I can’t wait for them
Mezco needs to take note
Definitely!
This review is a masterpiece. Wade is the goat
this set figure is dope!
Time to unpack Wukong then! I wasn't sure whether I want him enough to not just sell him, but clearly I do. :D
Thank you so much for this video!
Glad you love these, bro! Yan is my favorite, too. I had the same reaction thinking it would be Wukong, haha.
Happy Holidays. Great review.
Thank you for your review I hope big bad toy store be in stock soon I been waiting 2 and almost 3 years
Wow you think they are better than Mezco cloth goods , that's awesome 👌
I do!
Amazing figures and as always a great review! That new set up A.K.A stage for the figures looks so sharp! Keep up the great work 👏👏👏🎄☃️
I started collecting late and missed out on this 3 pack. I hope they reissue it
not so Original monkey king and that Nura figure reminds me of a charcter in the Movie Big Trouble in little china with Kurt Russle ....nice figures making me want to buy a set now
Wukong is on a NT'01 body.
3 type of body NOTAMAN has NT-01(muscular), NT-02(Slim) and NT-O2W(Wide shoulders)
WAY TOO MUCH ARM HAIR! lol,Youre not familiar with journey to the west Wade? I figured you would be considering how influential it has been to hiphop. You should definitely read it (or read any of the dozens of adaptations or homages to it) great review as always and great looking figures (too much arm hair though)

I don’t know if this guy is supposed to be the same WuKong from that story though. In the comic it seems a little different. Either way….these figures are amazing
I had the Monkey King on PO for the last year. Didnt get the other two because the head sculpts seemed a little too large for my collection.
Crazy how these came late in the year and are already taking top spots of these fugues of the year lists
Great review bro🔥, I think I'm sold!!
How’s the quality? I heard the waist joint was brittle.
Cool new intro! I love it 😍
Damn…had to go get the box set after this review these things look amazing

I mean Goku is inspired by Son Wukong.
Can't wait for these just pre-order them from bbts
🔥🔥🔥
Got that new intro 🔥🔥🔥🔥
The figures looks awesome (I PO Yan & Wukong on BB, the 3 pack isn’t available anymore :(
But the video game coming is mind blowing and would make me buy a PS5 🕹️, only if I had more time!
Dope review 🔥🔥🔥 love the new intro 👌👍🔪
Fun fact: the monkey king figure is Son Wukong, who’s name translated to Son Goku in Japanese. He was the inspiration for Goku.
Ummm, yeah just preordered at BBTS, these are freaking fire!
Nura looks like a perfect toy to switch out his head for a Samurai-X Rouroni Kenshin conversion!
I'm not familiar with that but sounds interesting!
@@UnparalleledUniverse Dude! There's an old Manga, Anime and a few live action movies. I'd highly recommend watching the movies, they are amazing.
holy shit badass review aside that intro though!
Oh, just sub to your channel 😎🤙🏾🌴🍍🏄🏾♂️
Aloha from Hawaii
They looked so godlike that they can destroy your whole toy collection in an instant.
Maaaaan These things are some of the best looking figures in my collection! I love them!
I wanted get wu khan yet all three are fucking stupendous and a comic dam good deal nota toys brilliant figures
Dope🔥🔥🔥🔥
Does anyone know when these are releasing 😭
Can't wait till my wukong comes in via BBTS
DOPEE dude givee sub-zero vibes but wu kong the best tho
Superbb
Couldn't get the 3 pack I ordered two aside from the monkey King
Nice!
I think Wukong and Nora/Nura are my favorite designs
And that oni mask 🔥🔥🔥
An Oni is like an Ogre or a Demon right?
@@smashblaster1-up190 yes
2 is not enough, you need 3 bananas in the tailpipe.
Is it just me but the Nura figure's hs looks a lot like Joe Odagiri. I wonder if they based the others on specific actors too. I can't figure out who Yan could be, but he looks like he could be a classic Shaw Brothers kung fu character.
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Can this be considered 2023 since it’s so late
There are no rules sir, you can consider it whatever you want.
These are very Asian culture based, I'm not sure about the humans but the monkey King is a big one. It's kinda like how the US has Paul Bunyan or so.
"Jug of milk" heheheh it's a tokkuri which is for serving Sake.
hahahahah my bad!
@@UnparalleledUniverse Great review by the way.
Samurai is a wearing a straw grass rain guard
That’s the Monkey King 😞😒🤦🏽♂️🎈
*based on the monkey king
@@UnparalleledUniverse He is straight up just the Monkey King, the Monkey King's real name is even Sun Wukong and he is known for having a magic staff and the ability to shape shift
thats a opium pipe in his belt
The thing on his waist/belt thing is a smoking pipe
Ah ok. Thanks
👀
After watching this, I’m trying to sell my collections to afford this
Just got my 3 standard versions and 3 accessory packs from bbts through, gonna buy the deluxe versions when I get the chance
That thing Nura has is a smoking pipe xD
I think the Nura figure is based on the Ghost of Tsushima Kensei Armor with the Deadly Rival's hat, there's a color pattern that closely resembles this figure.
