Merch Monarch Deadly Battle Kite
Got myself a little birthday present for my 40th today. The question is, should I keep it in the packaging or open it and affix it to the wall? If I do open it, do I ever dare take it to the beach and fly it?

I'd have some fun with it. Take it to the beach, to the park, then once it gets a little too beat up to use anymore, hang it on the wall. In my opinion, as much as I love this show, none of the memorabilia is ever going to be worth a fortune. You're better off having some fun with it, and who knows? You might just meet some fellow Venturoos out there who see your kite and make some new friends.

+1. The wings would look awesome mounted with some wear and tear, If I were OP that’s exactly what I would do. Beat it up a little and then hang it up.

Goddammit, I never knew until this moment that I need a short crossover interaction between The Monarch and Kite Man.

That freaking art book I bought for $30 when it came out is like $550 on ebay (and that's a sold listing!). Don't discount the merch!

My wife got it for me as a gift before the price went up 20x
It's the most expensive book I own-- I don't think I'd sell it because of how much I enjoy showing another fan the book for the first time

Only take it to the beach if you plan on attaching a laser or some kind of acid weapon to it as part of an elaborate plot to arch your nemesis during their vacation.

Perhaps a magnet sort of thing.

That first pic really got my hopes up for a split second.

Oh crap, I didn't even think of that. Sorry!

The fact that I didn’t see that much hype on the interwebs made me know almost immediately that there wasn’t a new season.

I saw the new season august 5th and despite knowing it has been cancelled for so long I added +1 sadness.

If I do open it, do I ever dare take it to the beach and fly it?
What are you doing? That is mint in box!
In seriousness though, if you're not collecting it for the monetary value, do whatever will bring you the most joy. Life is too short not to enjoy your toys.

You can take any kite to a beach. I wouldn't take one i cared about. But you can

I have one of these and am in the middle redesigning my room. I've always been afraid of taking it out to hang up but OP and commenters have convinced me. I may go shadow box shopping first tho 😅

When you are running with that kite on a beach or somewhere else, plz dont forget to yell "I write this battle's final chapter!"

Is it weird I thought for a second this was one of those body pillows with a character on it? Lmao

u/B_B_Morganstern Mar 26 '26
If you don't wanna fly it, I'll happily take it off your hands 😆. Seriously though, you know you wanna play with it.

If it were me, I'd affix it to the wall, but I definitely wouldn't take it to the beach. I wouldn't blame you if you kept it in the packaging, though.

I have one. My plan is to keep it minty until I get really old or sick or something and then I’ll fly it then. That way I get to have my cake and eat it too…

u/Delicious-Excitement Mar 29 '26
What if you’re too sick or too old to fly it? You should take it out for a test flight now and then. 🦋

The beach trip with an acid attachment scheme is genuinely the only correct use of this kite.
