Shanghai-based artist Curious Boy (@akacuriousboy) has just released his new art toy, XuanZang. The new figure is the third release in his East to West series, a hip-hop infused take on the legendary Chinese tale Journey to The West. XuanZang offers a new vision of the tale’s central character, a monk, making the perilous journey. The artist’s stylized warrior monk figure features a striking, elaborate helmet/cloak (removable) symbolizing the White Dragon Horse. He also flashes a modified version of Jay Z’s signature hand gesture.
XuanZang stands 9” without cloak about 10.25” with it. The figure will be available in four planned versions including Bronze (above) which features an impressive patina effect and Golden (below). Both are available now for $150 (including global shipping). To order drop an email to name.lau@qq.com.
