	+ The mech's phases were also inspired by the level structure of boss fights in video games.

2. ↑ Lucas, Simon. Thanks..The idea was inspired by part of the original Monkey King legend that saw him battle the Bone Demon 3 times... we thought it would be cool to bring that to life through the model build, creating lots of play along the way :) (Reply).
3. ↑ Lucas, Simon. Great review of new Monkie Kid Bone Demon set.... @justinramsden and I really tried to make the building journey part of the play... like a video game there’s a battle at each level (1,2&3) and in the end you face the big boss #LEGOMonkieKid.
