Not to be confused with that other popular Son Goku from the Dragon Ball anime/manga, this Son Goku is a monkey king from the manga series, Saiyuki (aka Gensomaden Saiyuki).I think this is the first time that Canon Creative Park has actually made a papercraft based on anime / manga. Can you remember any that I might have missed?
To make the story short, Saiyuki
revolves around four anti-heroes: a priest (Genjyo Sanzo), a demon slayer (Cho Hakkai), a half demon (Sha Gojyo), and the monkey king - Son Goku. They travel to India to stop the resurrection of the demon king, Gyumaoh. And on their way, they battle assassins, bad weather, and other villains intent on stopping them from achieving their goal.Saiyuki Manga - House of Son Goku Papercraft

It looks less based on the manga and more based upon the ancient Chinese myth that the manga is based upon.
ReplyDeleteThat's one way to look at it ^^
ReplyDeleteSorry if I wasn't specific enough, I think you're comparing it to the new Saiyuki manga (they used human characters), what I forgot to point out is that these papercrafts are based on the "old" Saiyuki manga - they called it Monkey Magic (cartoony looking version) or something similar sounding.
