LEGO is a toy company based in Denmark. Best known for producing interlocking plastic bricks, gears, and minifigures that can assemble anything imaginable.

They are the company behind the production of the Monkie Kid sets and television show.

History[]

The LEGO Company was founded in 1932 by Ole Kirk Christiansen. The company started as a manufacturer of wooden toys, it quickly moved to the system of plastic bricks in 1947 when plastic became more generally used among many industries. Construction of wooden toys ceased in 1960 when a factory fire destroyed a significant portion of the wooden stock and the company saw that the plastic toys were more worth their while.

The company grew in the capabilities of the plastic brick. 1978 marks the introduction of the minifigure, the very first being a police officer. The following year, LEGO Space and Scala were introduced, marking the beginning of building kits centred beyond the setting of the Town theme. Eventually, LEGO began expanding the catalogue further, with sets based around Pirates, Technic, Castle and NInja.

Monkie Kid was conceived in 2018 in the LEGO Shanghai Hub by Simon Lucas, Neville Lin and Dennis Fong. While LEGO had an audience in China and had previously released Chinese New Year sets, this was the first time the company had considered an entire product line based on a Chinese theme. The show was created to tap into the market and to create a unique twist into the popular Journey to the West story.[1] The Monkie Kid sets launched on May 15th 2020, with the series eventually premiering in China on May 30th. The series and sets became a success in China, with the pilot reaching around 43 million views alone in Chinese streaming services.[2]

Trivia[]

  • The company name, "LEGO," is derived from the Danish words leg and godt, which translates to play well.
