Blokees has gotten the Transformers license to make small chibi style models of Transformers designs. Their previous efforts have all been G1 based, and you can see the products in the links below. The G1 products came in blind boxes and that's the only way their website sells them so places like Ali Express have sellers who sell them per individual character.

Their newer models are more expensive but come with bases, effects, and LEDs. They are based on the Rise of the Beasts film.

I've had Scourge and Primal for about a month and a half now. This was posted 2 weeks ago, but I got them from BBTS at the beginning of March.

They also have a wave 2 with Mirage and Arcee, and Mirage is sitting in my POL right now

I'm BATMAN...!

Here are a few videos I did for the Wave 01 G1 kits, very odd choices for the assortments in my opinion. Will start working on Wave 02 soon.

YoloPark is trying to compete with them with their smaller kits. The results have been pretty disappointing with a number of QC issues like poor paint apps, bad ball joints, and molding misalignments.

I didn't know Yolopark was also making tiny kits like this, neat

Um, I thought the mini Yolo Park kits were announced first and were available in some markets before the Blokee kits were released.

I'd like to have all 6 of the Constructicons, but I hate blind packaging, and I don't see these being worth anywhere close to $20 each.

They're not. Unfortunately, the double-blind packaging drives the price up on the secondary market. You could buy a case and try to sell off the ones you don't want but then that adds to the problem.

Have they? All I know is the Yolopark figures have only been available here for around a month and just going up for pre-order in Japan this week while the Blokees are three waves in.

I thought they were. I know Yolopark was selling them on Amazon through their storefront and their website for a couple of months. The trick is Amazon NOW has stock that's shipped and sold by them, Prime shipping and all.

I was going off the reviews that are all since March since Amazon only occasionally gives first availability anymore. The oldest AliExpress reviews I can find go back to January so maybe they've in Asia since December, but that still puts the behind Blokees.

Ah ok. I'm getting the Blokee kits from BBTS so that might confuse the timing.

I got lucky and scored the Variant! There goes my luck for the next decade!

A nice relaxing build of some kits!

Would you believe I got lucky and got the variant again?

For those unaware, a new product has been gaining in popularity among Transformers fans and they are the licensed Blokees model kits. Blokees are licensed Transformers themed model kits. The pieces are on sprue trees and must be detached and then put together to create a poseable non transforming figure. They are in blind boxes and can be purchased on Ali Express but they are also available on the Blokees site: https://blokees.com/

While there are already many series out (the part sharing and standardized design make these far quicker to design and produce), we now know of 2 more: Shining Series 2 and Transformers One. For Transformers One, all we have is a grainy image, we can't even make them all out (is that first one Wheeljack?) but for Shining Series 2, we have official images showing G1 Optimus Prime, G1 Grimlock, G1 Sideswipe, G1 Beachcomber, G1 Soundwave, G1 Sunstorm, and the chase figure being "Optimus Prime Secret". These have LED lights, hence the name of the series.

If you want to know more about them, we have a review below explaining what these are and how big they are along with a review of the entirety of wave 2.

They seen nice as a introcuction into model kits.

Day 1650 of waiting for Transformers Armada Masterpiece news.

do they transform, or is just in the name?

I got the RotB mirage, and he is really cool. Finally a somewhat accurate Mirage!

Check out the short review I made that I posted in the article, answers all the questions

These kits aren't quite my cup of T-formers, but that Mirage makes me want to see RotB again to check the accuracy of the "This guy!"-point hand-sculpt, so thanks for posting all this! Feels like I should have at least heard of this line long ago.

One of the upcoming series is Transformers One, which fits really well with this kind of toy since many characters cannot transform in the film (at least at the beginning). It was unclear who all the characters we'd be getting were, but now this image from Baidu shows us that one of them could be Hound. We can tell it's from Transformers One due to the hole in the chest, and the rest of the configuration is very much that of a Blokees toy. Still, this could be from another series or a custom. You can check out the image below. And if you don't know what Blokees are, then we have a video explaining that too.
