Blokees
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, Sesame Street, Evangelion, Star Wars, and of course, most relevant here; Transformers.
Their effort within the franchise launched in mid-2023 with the Galaxy Version and Classic Class lines of buildable figures. This product range has expanded rapidly ever since with numerous new waves, different sublines, and the introduction of kits based around vehicles as well, with new releases for all of these dropping every few months. Known for their solid quality, high poseability and, especially; for being astonishingly cheap, Blokees' figures have been broadly well-received by collectors, resulting in the toyline earning a small cult following of sorts that one probably wouldn't expect to see around a series of ostensibly non-transforming Transformers toys.
Outside of China, these figures have seen retail distribution across territories such as Southeast Asia, South Korea, the United Kingdom, and the United States, as well as worldwide distribution via e-commerce sites like AliExpress and Temu. Release dates listed below reflect product debuts in China; other territories may see release simultaneously, soon thereafter, or wayyyy later.
Product Lines
Champion (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 its chest and eyes to glow. Large stands are included with every release, alongside translucent stand effects that unfortunately do not light up. Some toys are also available as part of a set, usually with a new diorama, accessories, or decoes, but each toy still retains its box.
As of September 30th, 2025, at least three kits from Rise of the Beasts were discontinued in Mainland China, while global versions of the products continue to see release.

Galaxy Version
Galaxy Version is a series of buildable 4" figures released in nine-figure blind box waves. Focusing primarily on Generation 1 (with the occasional detour), these snap-build kits are built on a standard body template, with 22 points of articulation.
Figures are shipped in cases of nine, with a fresh case containing one of each of the nine figures in the wave. A select figure in each wave also has a chase variant which appears in one out of every four cases, featuring extra accessories and a metallic redeco/paint job.
Wave 7 introduced additional standard points of articulation and eliminated the figure stands. The 8th wave also added new tooling on the upper thighs and the knee joints. Also, the 6th wave saw the phase out of the Autobot/Decepticon symbols.
As of September 30th, the first two Galaxy Version waves were discontinued in Mainland China, while global versions of the products continue to see release.
Shining Version
Shining Version launched in early 2024, with six blind-packed figures per wave each equipped with the light-up torsos of Classic Class figures. These figures consist mostly of parts from Galaxy Version, boasting new decos and additional accessories. Starting in Wave 2, wholly new figures have been added to the mix—time will tell if these will be released in GV later.
Much like the Galaxy Version assortment, a fresh case contains one of each figure in the wave, although with Shining Version the chase variant only appears in one in six cases.

Action Edition
Launched in 2024, Action Edition delivers a larger model kit with a more involved build experience compared to their other offerings, with accessories and features galore. A sneaky magnetic component in their faction symbol blocks activates their light features, so vigorous shaking is not required.

Defender Version
Launched in late 2024, Defender Version features downright adorable buildable figures that stand roughly half the height of Galaxy Version while retaining much of the articulation. In addition, Defender introduces buildable alt modes with compatible accessories and ports. In some cases, these vehicle mode releases are designed to combine into a gestalt using an accessory set distributed through Blokees Club on WeChat.
A Defender Version case includes a full set of the wave's twelve figures, but unlike the other blind-box assortments, every case contains a chase variant, from a pool of four – two "Special Galaxy Type" variants with improved decos that each appear in five out of every twelve cases, and two variants which also add extra accessories, each appearing in one out of every twelve cases.
As of September 30th, 2025, the first Defender Version wave was discontinued in Mainland China, while global versions of the products continue to see release.

Blokees Wheels
Launched in late 2025, Blokees Wheels features buildable 1/64 scaled vehicles based on the alternate modes of various characters from other media, mainly IDW Publishing's long-running Transformers comics.
A Blokees Wheels case contains a full set of the wave's twelve kits. Each case contains a chase variant from a pool of four: two "special" variants with translucent/alternate color schemes, appearing in five out of twelve cases, and two metallic redeco variants, each appearing in one out of twelve cases. Each chase variant also comes with translucent blue Driver Figures that can ride on the vehicles, so many of them have opening roofs.
The cars are marketed as being partially constructed from Solidex, a magnetic "2.5x density new-generation compound"[2] to evoke the feeling of die-cast cars like Hot Wheels. Some of them also come with extra accessories. The small instruction card included with each kit lists their Tech Specs as "HP", "ATT", "SPD" and "INT".

Products released this way have subsequently come out in other countries either as gift with purchase items or as standalone releases.  Blokees Figures CreatorAs part of their efforts to cultivate community creativity, Blokees regularly holds contests where toy customizers and photographers get to show their skill. Entries selected for display on the company's socials are rewarded with toys, some of them exclusive!
X Yearly VersionReleased every December starting in 2023, the X Yearly Version sets feature Galaxy Version figures slathered in delicious metallic gold paint in homage to the G1 episode "The Golden Lagoon". Light up torsos and extra accessories in the vein of Shining Version are also included. 2026's Dinobot Desertion set bucked the trend a bit by instead featuring a mix of Galaxy Version and Defender Version figures in a combination of metallic gold and silver, loosely based on the iconic deco of the Dinobots. The first set was known to suffer from Gold Plastic Syndrome in the joints. This was remedied in subsequent sets by changing the hinges to a mustardy plastic rather than gold.
Gift with purchase itemsProduct-specific items
Sharkticon Storage BoxInitially distributed as gifts with purchase with Action Edition Optimus, and given out in further GWP promotions thereafter, the Sharkticon Storage Boxes are a whimsical accessory storage solution in the form of a Sharkticon. The Sharkticons in both sizes come in opaque blue, translucent blue, and translucent pink.
