LEGO Monkie Kid Rumoured January 2025 Sets | 80065 + 80066


2025 will mark LEGO Monkie Kid's sixth year in production and on our shelves and yet the unlicensed theme, based on a lot of Chinese mythology and fantasy, continues to remain strong in LEGO's large portfolio. With that said, however, only two sets will be releasing on the 1st of January 2025 for the theme making it the smallest LEGO Monkie Kid wave yet.


These two sets are 80065 Erlang's Celestial Mech and 80066 Mythical Creature Qilin. Even with these two sets being the only models of the January 2025 wave, they make up a wave that will cost $180 in total. 80065 with its 807 pieces will cost $79.99 and 80066 will cost $99.99, suggesting a noticeable shift in LEGO Monkie Kid's lineup in 2025 with much cheaper sets presumably coming in its Summer wave of models.


80065 Erlang's Celestial Mech

Similar to other unlicensed LEGO themes, such as DREAMZzz and NINJAGO, LEGO Monkie Kid loves its mechs and the same can be said here with 80065 Erlang's Celestial Mech. The name suggests that the $79.99 set is a towering Celestial Mech based on the character of Erlang Shen in Chinese mythology. In fact, Erlang has already appeared as a Minifigure in the LEGO Monkie Kid theme before and will almost definitely appear again along with possibly three more characters.


Set Name - Erlang's Celestial Mech

Set Number - 80065

Age Range - TBC

Piece Count - 807

Price - $79.99 / €TBC / £TBC

Release Date - 1st January 2025


80066 Mythical Creature Qilin

80066 Mythical Creature Qilin is the larger of the two sets but only in the retail price as it costs $99.99 for only 791 pieces. The build for the legendary mythical creature of the Qilin will be the star of this set. Since the Qilin is often depicted as a dragon-deer hybrid with scales, a lion-like head, and antlers, the build will likely have a mixture of curved, organic shapes and rigid armour-like details. A total of five Minifigures will also be included for that $100.


Set Name - Mythical Creature Qilin

Set Number - 80066

Age Range - TBC

Piece Count - 791

Price - $99.99 / €TBC / £TBC

Release Date - 1st January 2025


Both of these LEGO Monkie Kid sets release on the 1st of January 2025 but what do you think? Will you be purchasing either 80065 or 80066 in a few months time?
