🐒✨ SURI – Journey to the West Series: A Mythical Makeover of a Timeless Tale
Classic Chinese folklore gets a stylish, kawaii twist with SURI as the star.

When you think of Journey to the West, images of fierce battles, spiritual trials, and the Monkey King likely come to mind. But what happens when that legendary story meets modern girl power and dreamy aesthetics? You get the SURI – Journey to the West Series: a fresh, fashion-forward reimagining of the classic myth through the eyes of SURI and her ever-changing personas.


🌸 A New Heroine in a Legendary Story

This series reimagines Journey to the West not through warriors and sages, but through SURI—our soft-spoken yet powerful heroine who channels each legendary character in her own uniquely adorable way. From mischievous magic to monk-like calm, each figure reflects a piece of the epic tale with layered symbolism and updated style.

This is not just cosplay—it’s storytelling through design.


🐵 SURI as the Monkey King (Sun Wukong)

The boldest and most iconic design in the series.
SURI wears a modern twist on the Monkey King’s armor with golden accents, wind-swept hair, and a tiny staff in hand. Her expression is confident and playful, representing rebellion, wit, and courage.


🐷 SURI as Pigsy (Zhu Bajie)

With soft pink tones, a sleepy expression, and a snack accessory, this version of SURI reflects Pigsy’s indulgent, loveable nature. She’s not here to fight—she’s here to eat, nap, and steal your heart.


🧘♀️ SURI as Tang Sanzang (The Monk)

Dressed in serene robes with prayer beads and calm eyes, this figure channels the soul of the journey. She’s peaceful, wise, and centered, reminding collectors of the story’s deeper message: the path isn’t about power—it’s about inner growth.


🐟 SURI as Sha Wujing (Sandy)

Often the quietest and most overlooked character, SURI as Sandy wears darker, mysterious tones with subtle watery motifs. This design is for those who love depth, loyalty, and quiet strength.


🐉 Myth Meets Modern Magic

The SURI Journey to the West Series isn't just a homage—it’s a transformation. The creators wanted to bring female energy into a traditionally male-dominated tale, giving SURI a chance to retell the story in a softer, more emotional light. Each figure invites us to look at the ancient legend from a new perspective: through empathy, color, and quiet power.


💬 Why Collectors Love This Series

  • It fuses nostalgia with style—perfect for fans of Chinese mythology and cute art toys.

  • The character designs are symbolic and wearable (mini staffs, tiny beads, and armor-inspired dresses!)

  • Each SURI feels like a different archetype—letting you collect different energies and moods.


Whether you’re on your own journey of self-discovery or just a lover of mythical motifs and stunning figures, the SURI Journey to the West Series reminds us that adventure isn’t always loud. Sometimes, it’s pastel-colored, wide-eyed, and adorably powerful.

🛍️ Collect the legend. Rewrite the story. Let SURI lead the way.
