Mei's Dragon Jet

Mei's Dragon Jet (80041-1) was released by The LEGO Group as part of the Monkie Kid theme, a line introduced in 2020 that draws heavy inspiration from the classic Chinese literary masterpiece Journey to the West. This particular set was designed to reflect the modernization of traditional mythology, placing the character Mei—a descendant of the White Dragon Horse—in a futuristic, high-tech context suited for a contemporary animated series setting.

The design of the jet emphasizes the fusion of biological dragon motifs with aerospace aesthetics, utilizing a bold color palette of white, teal, and gold to signify Mei’s unique elemental powers. As a mid-sized vehicle set, it was intended to serve as both an engaging build and a play-oriented piece that captures the dynamic, action-heavy nature of the Monkie Kid television show. It was received by the collector community as a well-proportioned addition to the theme, noted for its streamlined wing assembly and the inclusion of exclusive character printing.
