Blokees (布鲁可 Bùlǔkě), sometimes known as Bloks, is a Chinese toy company that produces a range of buildable action figures from different licensed properties including Ultraman, Kamen Rider, Marvel, Naruto, and most relevant here, Transformers.
Their Transformers effort launched in mid-2023 with the Galaxy Version and Classic Class lines of buildable figures. Their product range has expanded rapidly ever since, with new releases dropping every few months.
Outside of China, these figures have seen distribution across territories such as Southeast Asia, South Korea, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
Release dates listed below reflect product debuts in China; other territories may see release simultaneously, soon thereafter, or wayyyy later.
Product Lines
Classic Class
Designed as easy to build entry level model kits, Classic Class offers detailed 4.5 inch figures of characters across the gamut of the Transformers' cinematic history. Each figure features a torso that lights up upon shaking, causing their chest and eyes to glow. Large stands are included with every release, alongside translucent stand effects that unfortunately do not light up.
