Images of Latest Blokees Transformers Models and Where to Get Them

I'm BATMAN...!

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.

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.

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.

do they transform, or is just in the name?
