| This article is about the real Sandy. You may be looking for another version. |
| “As long as I'm doing something to help out a friend, I don't mind what it is. I just want to be there for them when they need me.” |
| — Sandy[src] |
Sandy is a descendant of Sha Wujing, a tough peace-loving member of the Monkie Kids, and a former soldier.
After the Demon Bull King was freed from his imprisonment, Sandy was recruited by Pigsy to help MK and his friends get them to Flower Fruit Mountain. After MK's presumed death in the Flaming Mountains, Sandy and the others were saddened, but had no other choice but to go on without him. Eventually Sandy and the others found out that MK survived, and celebrated when he defeated the Demon Bull King.
Sometime later, Sandy assisted MK and the rest of his team by fighting off the Demon Bull Family and rescuing Pigsy and Tang from the Spider Queen. After the Demon Bull King and the Bull Clones took over Megapolis after being possessed by Lady Bone Demon, Sandy supported MK by helping to fight off the Bull Clones while he freed the Demon Bull King from the spirit's possession.
When the Spider Queen and the Spider-Bots started taking control of the civilians at New Year's, Sandy and the rest of MK's team collaborated with Red Son to travel to the Celestial Realm to look for an antidote that could cure the infected citizens. When Lady Bone Demon initiated her scheme to establish an ideal world, Sandy and his friends set forth on their own Journey to the West, driven by the quest to locate the three Rings of Samadhi necessary to restore the Samadhi Fire, all while evading the pursuit of Macaque. Upon the release of the fire, which manifested itself as being contained within Mei, Sandy and his allies successfully triumphed over the Lady Bone Demon.
After the Monkey King's confinement within the Scroll of Memory, Sandy was trapped alongside Pigsy and Tang, confined within the form of Sha Wujing. In this state, Sandy engaged Pigsy in a lethal battle until Mo successfully roused him from Sha Wukong's influence. Following the destruction of the protective curse and Azure Lion's rise to Jade Emperor, Sandy and his companions united to confront the Brotherhood, aiming to avert the destruction of the universe. Collaborating with Pigsy and Tang, Sandy persuaded Yellowtusk to switch allegiances, contributing to their efforts in saving the universe.
Sandy and the Monkie Kids were branded as fugitives from the Celestial Realm due to the impending destruction of the universe. They set out on a mission to find the Color Stones essential for restoring the Pillar of Heaven. During their journey, Sandy instructed MK in meditation techniques while they retrieved the blue Color Stone from the Black Tortoise. After collecting all five stones, they faced the Nine-Headed Demon, the mastermind behind the universe's peril. As Sandy and his allies attempted to thwart the demon's schemes, MK considered the possibility of self-sacrifice. Ultimately, through their united efforts, they discovered an alternative solution that allowed them to prevent the disaster and save the universe.
Official description[]
Monkie Kid™ HeroesSoilder-turned-peacenikOnce the toughest soldier ever (just look at him, all muscles and mohawk), he now mostly enjoys tea, nature and relaxing with his cats. But mess with his little cat Mo and you WILL feel his wrath.[4] LEGO® Life Magazine Issue 1 2022This big, strong warrior would rather drink tea and cuddle with his cats than fight, but he’s there when Monkie Kid needs him.[5] The Gentle GiantFormerly a ruthless warrior, now a big cuddly softy...[6] |
Personality[]
- “You're the strongest, the biggest, the bluest guy I know, but all you've ever used those muscles for is to help people in need, your friends. That don't sound like a monster to me.”
- ―Pigsy [src]
In the past, Sandy used to be a ruthless warrior but eventually swore off violence, becoming a kind, peaceful man.[1] He is a generous friend, and is willing to help others out whenever they need him, no matter the cause. He is incredibly quick to protect his friends and those in need.[1]
Sandy prefers talking things over with his enemies and as he tries to find a way to befriend them. Whenever he witnessed his love ones hurt, he experiences mental trauma that appear as a massacre as he is pushed into the breaking point. Although, he only used it as an way to intimidate his enemies as a warning than actually hurting them.[1]
