>>11836209I was going to update this, I've just been busy, some of the EU stuff needs to be corrected and updated and so probably Canada as well. But I don't have time now and I'll be in meetings all day tomorrow, so 'll get to it by Friday.If anyone wants any WHERE TO BUY countries or territories added, let me know and if anyone has suggestions, places that should be listed, also reply to THIS post, PLEASE!
shit I forgot the previous threadPREVIOUS TRHEAD: >>11817542
>>11836216the past is editable right? i kinda just assumed it
>>11836208neat. clone trooper and anakin look nice.
Hope these get some info soon. The sculpt looks so solid. might finally get a good affordable 1/12 batman
Jeff completed! Really good build.
>>11836302Is that an extra waist piece for cat woman? whats that for?
Any JoJo updates?
>>11836457The donut-looking thing? Looks like a neck piece to go with her unhooded head, there's the same car ears
>>11836302I'm sick of fucking Batman toys. Most of the new Mattel Core (premier actually) line is Batman, or Mr Freeze with Batman, Batman, Robin. Joker.>>11836358Looks good, definitely getting him even if he doesn't show up cheap at Walmart. Already have him on my wishlist and have a pile of loot already going at BBTS
>>11836457Doesn't seem to have any connectors for the legs, so I'm guessing it's a weird looking bag or accessory.
>>11836465No I mean this>>11836494Thats what I thought, but why does it look the same as her waist. weird design choice, but maybe itll look better once it has color.
bought jeff (fuck the EU, 3 euro extra are legit jewish bullshit) what you guys suggest for improve stuff around blokees, a matte coating or something
>>11836521>but why does it look the same as her waistLooked into it, it's a swappable waist piece for when she is using the whip. The one on the display model has the whip around her belt.Picture is from a review of the Mafex version of the same Catwoman, so colour should make it more obvious.
>>11836302That catwoman looks like a regular woman in cosplay. She's supposed to be super slick.It's like the evangelion girls having those generic bodies with big boobs and wide hips lol
>>11836358Crap
>>11836302I pray they do DCAU kits
This bad boy arrived, just need to find some free time to put him together, hopefully over the weekend.Also, glad I don't collect boxes cuz this one got absolutely crushed in shipping.
>>11836537Ah, that makes sense. thnx anon
>>11836562>REEE my woman figure looks like a woman and not goon bait
>>11836737? Being slick would mean smaller boobs and thiner body. If anything the actual sculpt looks way more coomer-friendly because as it has big boobs and and wide hips same thing with the evangelion girls. Pretty stupid argument
>>11836564it's crap because...?>>11836644sick dude. i usually just flatten the boxes>>11836748from what i can see in other batman hush media, her boobs seem pretty big
I've been watching reviews of Sue and it seems to be a weird case of the actual figure looking so much better in person than in the promotional photos. The harsh lighting of a regular room seems to make the cheekbones and the lips to pop up better thus making the face not looking hideously flat and round as it looks on the promo pics
>>11837121honestly, she just needs some eyeshadow and lipstick. if you have a tiny brush and makeup/ weathering kits, you can improve it by a lot
>>11836644>>11836763>flatten the boxesI haven't actually opened two boxes - other than to check one to see how badly the sprues might be messed up before I accepted the slight partial refund from Ali versus doing the return for full refund. You could literally hear tiny things inside the box from where the sprues had clearly been cracked apart from the box damage.
dont have the right blue paint so his pits are darker. he's fun
>>11837193That's fucked, you definitively have me beat there lol.
>>11837231Gundam marker, or actual paint.I got some budget 'gundam' markers but they are metallic. I am testing them out on some extra heads I have that I have spares and my ginger conversion of one is way too shiny.Trying to camo one of my extra GI Joe necks also looks weird with metallic green.
Really love this girl! I'm still impressed by how good these look with how little effort you have to put into them.I have a couple of nitpicks however:1.- The SPEC did this thing where they took out the text on her shoulder and forearm, now it could be that they don't show up in the episode because of the cost effective nature of animation, but I always thought it was kinda cool, like to emphasize the Eva is moving even when "off"2.- Huge missed opportunity to make the eyes Glow in the dark, specially since the green bits already do.Super excited for this line, I already have 00 on the way, I'm guessing unit 02 is basically confirmed and I really hope we get the eva series.
>>11837495
>>11837495>>11837497Next to the old SPEC
>>11837121>>11837139She don't need much
Hit the two large Target stores in my area near me yesterday. The 'toy leads' both admited they are probably not carrying the blind box TF galaxy boxes anymore.One implied it was shoplifting. This when they carry crap that is easier to steal out in the open like the polyvinyl Lego bags and the vinyl blind bag key ring toys. I once saw someone stick three Mattel Elite wrestling boxes into a school backpack, that was wide open, just sitting in their cart. They zipped it up and walked over to the grocery section.
>>11836209>>11836278>the paste is editable right? i kinda just assumed itNot this kind. The kind that is requires an account, it's what many gens use throughout 4chan BUT about 3-4 years ago, the put in all these words filters, so even things like violence (e.g. in say a cartoon title or a movie/TV) should get banned and eventually lock up the paste and people have been moving away from it unless your gen is very generic and very SFW.HERE IS THE CURRENT DRAFT:https://paste2.org/vLY0ycByI kept Target in there because apparently, after switching my zip codes, some stores in other states are still selling selling them in retail and apparently you can still order. It's only here, where I live, that my local stores are lame.ANYONE FROM BRAZIL or Mexico, or the eastern parts of the EU want to chime in, there was a retailer in Poland and Italy that were selling the Transformers but apparently no longer?I think I have SEA, Australia and NZ covered but happy to add more?https://paste2.org/vLY0ycBy
>>11837495when are we getting a blokees of this evangelion?
Why They still not do Sentai Robot Yet?
my fuckass walmart is putting the blokees on clearancedidn't stock shit and now they probably wont
>>11837754i'll keep this new one in mind if make the next general>>11837869there is a sentai robot, or two i think, in the ultraman, kamen rider, and sentai defender box. its small but its something
>>11837766Isn't that supposed to be Cap in the Marvel Rivals game or is it one of the fan skins that people use like the naked Peter Parker?Don't play vidya so no clue.But - yes - I would buy one. Fuck, I would buy a naked buck that could articulate as well as the MR Spidey, with a Spider-Man head mask and the web gauntlets!
>>11837923this is him in the game, yes. no, it's not modded. yes, his bulge is that big and it also moves
>>11837940>him in the game, yes>no, it's not modded.excellent news!one can only hope but I don't expect itif blokees was a japanese company - YESbut as a chinese company, even if they wanted to BUT they won't, winnie's army wouldn't let them
>>11837500I do like the 'shiner' (or maybe more 'orb-like' or 'crystalline' is a better descriptor?) red in the chest plate in the back, but these looks great >>11837495 and >>11837497 - is that sprue damage because you snapped off and not clipped off? and how hard would it be to buff that down gently to get a more smooth finished?The slight little 'ding' like mars on the surface, below the waist, on what would be - for example - the 'calves' on the eva, are a tiny bit concerning, but it may be more obvious from the image size and HQ of the photos? (2MB?) - and maybe look fine in a display?I know someone elsewhere chatted that this happens from snapping the sprues off and, according to them, is "easy to fix" - I think this was on a movie Marvel - Deadpool or Wolverine, so lighter colors and shiner colors? but believe they just buffed and applied something to even out the shine? top coat?
>>11837951>I do like the 'shiner' (or maybe more 'orb-like' or 'crystalline' is a better descriptor?)I'm split on this, I think as a thing I own and have on hand I prefer the glossy look from the SPEC, that said it doesn't really look like that in the episode, so i guess the blokees is more "accurate">is that sprue damage because you snapped off and not clipped off?>and how hard would it be to buff that down gently to get a more smooth finished?This is very likely the case since I snapped them off, would it look better if I clipped or not I wouldn't know, I have very little experience with model kits, I really just couldn't resist these ones because is rare to get TV eva stuff and they basically look as good as most figures.
>>11837951the nub marks on blokees can easily be removed by going up the grits. usually 1500 is enough to give it that bare plastic look. top coat will give it a nice uniform look, yes.
>>11837912>i'll keep this new one in mind if make the next generalI don't mind making a Gen when it's time, I just didn't want to since for a while I was mostly doing it.I may also continue to update that WTB, if I get more European and South American information. And it will probably before before the next two weeks. But I'll post an update!
just finished building invisible woman. her face looks better in person than blokees's studio pics. I think the issue is their low-res printing blowing up the details. i gave her a bit of makeup, mainly around the eyes, and I may or may not paint on more lashes. not confident about my brush skills though
>>11837960Good to know, I have about 5 boxes to build but need to assemble furniture and get some boxes and other shit unpacked and out of the way.Do you recommend any particular type of top coat? Something that dries quickly ideally since I have no ventilation in my new place, a fucking tiny, rectangular window in one room and a useless tiny bathroom mirror sized one in the bedroom. At least I do have outdoor access in this complex, with seating. I would just need to sit there while it dried and keep shit from falling on the top coat while still 'sticky.'
Apparently, there was a vote going on for the next DC original blokees design. Joker won big it seems>>11838292mr.hobby spraycans are good. the blue/green ones are water-based and the grey ones are solvent based iirc. flat coats and semi gloss coats dont take long to dry at all. flat can dry in about a minute BUT you gotta be careful with high air humidity because it will cause fogging and your coat will turn white. since its summer i guess itll be fine. also let it cure for a day without touching it. you can also buy those clips on a stick and stab them into a cardboard box so that the parts cure better and less touching involved. since you have boxes anyway, you cut them up, and layer them, tape them together to make clip stands.
>>11838301these are great to have for anyone who wants to do a lot of painting and coating
>>11838288What did tools you use on the eyes?
>>11838318a very small fine 0.5mm brush and a weathering kit. i used black around the eyes, it's not very strong though. i also use "mud dirt" for skin shading. needs more work
>>11837880Have you tried ordering from them to get what you need? I just had them send me two Luke's, to turn into storm troopers, and added the Darth even though I already had him, because they were all $10 each. Two dino eggs brought me free shipping.
>>11837880Don't get me wrong, Walmart sucks ass. It's not even worth making the trip or time to go in person for store clearance, because in my area, after two years of trying, in two different areas of my fucking state even, across four county lines in my own metro area, I found ONE fucking thing in a clearance area I wanted.
>>11838323>>11838318NTA, but looks decent-ish. Need to see more pictures, DESU.When I blow it up, I see what you mean by 'mud dirt.' -- did you actually use that? Why not borrow some make-up from a female relative, sister, your mother, and try some of that? The liquid version should have been fine and they even have applicator tools you probably could have used?>>11838306Ah yeah, those would be great. Is that something I find with all the other cafeteria crap in that aisle at Smart & Final? They use those in kitchens, no? Or is that something to hunt down in a store like Staples? And thanks for the tips!
>>11838306>>11838492Never mind - found the alligator clips on Bezolandia. If there's a local place to get them, let me know (no Prime) but otherwise, just thanks for all the tips and suggestions!
WE ARE BACKI REPEATWE ARE SO FUCKING BACK
>>11838492lol its not literally mud dirt. it's just what the palette is called. the weathering kit i have is pretty much like a makeup palette
>>11838301>original designs Awful
>>11838542Would be nice to go back to waves of 4, so hopefully that happens. Else it looks like just Mewtwo.
We are back
>>11838610Thank the fuckI want the snorflax reissued, and legally. Or at least reasonably!
>>11837912>its small but its somethingI want they do a big one Like SMP But Bigger.
>>11838564The psycho murder bitch is an ugly design, Joe Kerr will prob be equally Leto's levels of shitty.WW in Saint Seiya type armor would be interesting but they won't go there. >>11838301>won big>19000Not really. More than 20K tickets to Supergirl were sold in Europe last week. And it's considered a huge bomb.But very basic bitch result.Hope they will do a different, more classic looking, Flash than the Legends one announced with AbsBats, based on it being the runner up. Surprised Lanterns was last. I wonder if they had tossed any cartoon popular characters, it would switch things? And would Arrow do as well if they had put his name on there, based on Flash and Supergirl doing well from the TV show?
>>11838731Maybe I should read the Absolute comics, these designs are wacky and I like them
butt
I still want one of these Saints in 'the casual outfit' to have as a civilian, so you could pose him with say the Daredevil or the Spider-Man (or the Nightwing or Superman) either to have this casually dressed saint be the guy being held up by say a Miku, or the other way around, and the hero needs to come beat someone up.
>>11839175There's also this guy - who for some reason is shirtless - but I have plenty of rubbery and soft good vests and crap I could put on him, and the third wave has another, but he's in a very traditional looking Far East outfit.
>>11839178And this is from the 4th wave, similarly to the first one, just in green with the GREEN hair. But definitely enough to be a mob doing some street crime.Or simply be playing cards, or a party scene.
>>11839181I had the same idea but singles of old waves are too costly. Half a champion series for a little toy
>>11838835yeah...yeah.. daddy likes...
Holy shit. BFC winners prize apparently. Limited to 600 units. Goddamn that looks awesome
>>11839495It doesn't say specifically what category prize of BFC will win this but considering there's 600 units, I guess it covers everything. I did also submit a couple of entries for BFC and the reply emails are very friendly. Hope I can land a hologram vader.
>>11839495Shame that both Vader variants are limited release exclusives>>11839175>>11839181Both of these further cement my belief in the potential behind Blokees Ben 10
>>11839495>>11839500These do look nice, and I understand that the hologram was a big thing in the movie, but I don't get the appeal for some. Besides the outlier characters like Bazil, some of the biggest Black Series peg warmers even at Ross and Ollies are their hologram figures. The white vadar I could totally see being huge. Hopefully they do some special releases in NA when they do some events here. I believe they did release some con special packages for NYCC last fall?
>>11839510me personally, i like the clear look.
GameStop has Jeff up for preorder but no Sue. Or BND. So unless you do a ship to store or Jeff is the only thing you want, it's a worthless option. I'm still waiting for reports of Walmart, who meanwhile have Stark IM and Anakin Darth Vader still on markdown.
>>11839500It's 600 units for every region US/Latam/SEA/China/Japan so there are plenty of themYou win the exclusive figure if you get 3 works selected as "outstanding work" if they respond to your mail with "your work has been selected as an outstanding.." then you only need 2 more, Is not that hard to get selected tho AI is even allowed unless the ai modifies the toy itself. Winning the contest it's the actual challenge
>>11836644Another crushed box brought to you by Aliexpress.
>>11839812I have 2 outstanding works so far. guess i'll go check up on the deadline
>>11839985ah shit looks like a new season started. guess I'll try again
>>11839878That's no where near as gross as mine. The local driver's Honda Civic must have just been delivery cheap women clothing in the other packages stuffed into the trunk.
>>11840001Thanks Chang
not a lot of leaks this month huh
>>11839986>>11839985Slightly mod those, create new (or move it to a different, engm outside) background(s); and do something funny in the photos with another Blokees even from another IP, and/or other matching IP, and repost.
>>11840265I'll just do a new thing. They were Moon Knight anyway and I don't think Marvel was allowed anyway
Cutie
>>11840332
>>11840333
>>11840332>>11840333>>11840336Why does her eyes and mouth look so grainy? Or is it just the camera?
>>11840350unfortunately, that's the print of the face
>>11840350It's just the quality of the print.Photos always tend to make these prints look more grainy than they do in person, likely due to viewing the figures way more closely than you might if it's in front of you.
>>11840350>>11840368I don't own any blokees with printed faces, but I do own other figures with them and from my experience yeah, they look awful in pictures but hardly noticeable in person.I guess if you mainly want these for pictures, something to take into account sure.
>>11840372you could probably use some kind of smoothing in the camera app but I've personally just mentally tune it out
>>11840364>>11840368>>11840372Ah i see. I'm thinking of getting one myself some of these days
>>11840415she's fun. I keep her on my desk with Jeff. I'm looking forward to catwoman now
How likely are we to get a Champion class Buzz with the OG design? I’m impressed with my Elite class Buzz (first Blokees purchase) and would love a more premium version, but don’t want the Hi-Tech.
>>11840375Yep, the people who take toy photography do a lot of clean up before posting. A few of the reputable ones will walk you through their process and show you how they even made the sky bluer (in say an out door shot) or create artificial sand storms (someone trying to 'artistically' recreate a Star Wars movie 'look/feel' scene with Blokee's did that with some sand in his hands and a small portable fan and then edited it out of the picture).If it's just for yourself and to show off your stuff, it's totally unnecessary. >>11840556I've been waiting for something with some older (2024 designs) that they haven't done "re-use" in the same way we are often used to a toy company re-using and re-releasing, for example, a Spider-Man or a Superman on the same buck with a different blue or different accessories.These two (holographic and white suit) Vaders >>11839495 and >>11832836 are proof that Blokees will DO variants, but until we see proof they will release them commercially (and that may be another IP license limitation, where Hasbro doesn't want the competition, or the rights holder won't OKAY other than as a premium, or limited release).
>>11840846I like to present the toy as is, so I won't be using any smoothing. i'll only go as far as adding effects, blurring the background, erasing stands, etc. I know an instagram user who smoothes out the joint cuts on the butt area, personally find that a little weird, not in an "anti-fanservice" sense but more as "you should accept the cuts" sense.
So what's the deal with this company it seems like they came out of nowhere and have every license.Are these actually kits or are they factory figures you assemble, looking at reviews i cannot tell
>>11841006>actually kits or are they factory figuresSome are actual kits, but nothing you paint or apply stickers to like some Bandai.The sprues look like pic rel.
>>11841006the fantastics line such as eva girls, miku, pokemon, are assembly figures. champions and legends are your typical model kits and as >>11841008 mentioned, there are no stickers BUT these kits still typically miss some details that you would have to fill in yourself with paint. >>11840332 invisible woman here is missinga lot of blue in her legs and palms
>>11841008>>11841063yeah but I mean, are they pure kits, or are the like those old bandai yu-gi-oh figures where it's a "kit" but you're basically assembling a figure. Like if I had an assembled one in my hand would it be like a figma or mafex?Or is it that most of them are stikfa/plamo kit and you can't mess with them much. The impression I get is really mixed.
>>11841110Can't you read? At this point no explanation would be enough. Go search for your answer then
>>11841063I was going to add all that and the phone rang and I got distracted and solved the captcha and hit send.>>11841110>you can't mess with them much.Some of the joints are universal and you can put say a Miku head on a Poke body and so forth, if that's what you mean. I mean, are you putting a Mafex Mr. Fantastic's head on a CT Iron Man Mafex KO and calling that messing with it? Or are combining like 14 things to make a new custom? Also, I agree, your basic question has been answered, anon. There are actual videos of people assembling them like the kid who did these (see GIF), why don't you find one of those?
>>11841110Blokees was previously one of the many Chinese brick makers so it'll help if you think of them as legos, using the same dense ABS plastic, but with many unique parts. The smaller sized kits come precut and prepainted in little baggies just like legos. The largest ones have bionicle-like inner frames.
>>11841110they are BOTH. like i said it DEPENDS on the TOY LINE.FANTASTICS = assembly FIGURESCHAMPIONS and LEGENDS = snapfit MODEL KITSYou DONT need paint or stickers BUT you can make them look better by painting. I HOPE that this GETS ACROSS
>>11841234Yeah that makes sense, I somehow missed that part in the other post's first sentenceWhat about the action edition stuff? That was what really threw me since it was optimus prime. >>11841183>I mean, are you putting a Mafex Mr. Fantastic's head on a CT Iron Man Mafex KO and calling that messing with it? Or are combining like 14 things to make a new custom?I was talking about daily futzing around with it. Like I have a figma muscle figure I use for posing on my desk I use occasionally. If I did that with a kit the joints would wear out quick but with figures that's not an issue.
>>11841336everything transformers is a model kit. >defender classthink of this as lego minifigs>galaxy/shining classthink of this as very simple pre-cut kits. the hand parts will still be on runners. shining just means they light up>classic classthink of this as HG kits>action classthink of this as MG kitsThe older stuff look stylised and cartoony. the newer stuff aim for accuracy and also have better part separation. you can see the difference between the bayverse classic class megatrons
>>11841336>figures that's not an issue.I honestly cannot answer you that, one way or another. One the one hand, while some Blokees are expensive, most are not and it's not hard to not spend a lot of money to get into it. To me it's absurd that someone is paying $70-$140 or even upwards of hundreds of dollars for a Gwen Stacy with two heads. That said, I just won a new one at an auction for about $35-40 including the postage. Which I also think is a lot for a vanilla basic Marvel Legends, even with two good heads.I don't own any Figma but from what I understand they are better made. So maybe these aren't apples to apples comparisons.
OMG it's MIGUNot much to sayBecause of the boots you can't use the feet. But there is nothing in the boots to lock the legs so you have get some tape or tack on the bottom or stuff some filling. Does look good though. I really wish these come with a set of fist hand. Kinda hard to pose with other action oriented stuff without working fists for fighting >Gown man playing with dollsIt's fucking over bros....

>>11841902looks like i'll be waiting longer for catwoman
The PPG kits look so immensely disappointing
>>11841902>>11841904Nothing that interests me as well. Jeff looked and is fun, but I don't give enough shit about Marvel (or Blokees, DESU) just to get say Daredevil to get him. Same for SW, even if I just got two Lukes to turn into taller storm troopers.I guess I can wait till the fall, and till pre-orders arrive, or kits hit Walmart and get rollback/clearanced.
better look at Legends Flash and accessories. I'm still confused why the Flash was chosen as the Legends entry in this line
>>11842011>I'm still confused why the Flash was chosenEven today, this show is still one of the highly pirated and watched shows globally.From the 1990s DCAU, that version of the Flash, the Wally West version, remains popular. The enduring popularity of John Stewart as Green Lantern can also be explained by that cartoon. It's why when Jakks and Sonic did that DCxSonic colab, even though they kept Cyborg from the New 52 as part of the JL, they used John INSTEAD of Hal who was the GL in the New 52. Speaking of which Cyborg would probably be a fun Blokee's kit and I think he's a dumb boring character.
>>11842015yeah but he'd make more sense as a champion class kit with the rest of the DC originals. he's basically the only 19-20cm figure. it would make more sense if this reserved for a large character like darkseid
>>11842037Their classes aren't supposed to scale with each other, though. They never did.
>>11842043no, I'm saying he should be a champion kit. there is no reason why flash is given a legends treatment. he's not that significant. much less compared to BATMAN himself. AbBat makes sense. he's huge, probably a one-off thing anyway. There's nothing about the flash that makes him significant enough to be the only one in toy line that focuses on detail and size. at least if he was champions, he would fit in with the rest of the DC originals line who are all ~15cm. Killer croc or bane would have made more sense
I just want the Megaman stuff, bro...WHERE IS MY ZERO FIGURE?
>>11842049And again, you're missing the point. Their Legend class isn't about making large characters. Flash may be popular enough in Asia to justify bringing him to the Legend line, just like they didn't begin with Tiga or the original Ultraman in their Legend Ultraman line. Killer Croc will never be popular enough for a Legend figure, and I would argue the same about Bane. You'll see Batman variants, Green Lantern, Superman and maybe Wonder Woman, but not these.
>>11842081youre missing MY point. flash is not significant in any way to be getting a Legends entry. Thats the point. it makes. Ultraman may not start with Tiga but they started with Z anyway which is extremely popular. flash is no way significant for him to be getting legends over champions. its just stupid. i dont see anyone buying that shit
>>11842079August >>11841902you'll get Zero and Megermen
>>11842037I don't disagree with you on the 19-20cm point EXCEPT that they are pushing these waves out slowly. Look at this way, RN - they probably could release 40-50 Marvel Rivals characters. They are ramping up, but started with just two, then release Moon Knight and Rocket, then two more fairly soon. With DC, they release the first two - one of which was a movie tie-in, then two more (the crazed psycho clown and Nightwing) and a vanilla Robin and vanilla Catwoman seem to be the next two, with these two further down the pipeline. But it took them almost a year to get from PICREL to Nightwing and HQ. tl;dr for all we know they will EVENTUALLY (and ATM plan to) release an entire wave of DC in LEGENDS sizes?
Does anybody have both Superman and BND Spiderman? Can you put them together I want to know how their heights compare and if they look good together before buying Spidey.
>>11836464what a dumb gay show. never seen it never will. anime sucks.
>>11841832>dat faceTHAT BITCH NEEDS CORRECTION!
>>11836208Is star wars that popular overseas?
>>11842549Not OPBut yes. I mean Avatar movies and animation like that Chinese movie that was barely seen outside of China but still reported a billion, have pushed the Star Wars movie so only one is in the top ten worldwide ALL TIME, and the rest are now top 20 to top 50, but even Rogue is Top 50. And 50 IS definitely impressive. Something like 200 movies are still released each and every year.MCU movies now also crowd out other stuff on the top 20 but going by what was reported even in the USA, the four Star Wars figures sold better than the 4 movie figures (not counting the Fox movie Marvel kits).
>>11842015>The enduring popularity of John Stewart as Green Lantern can also be explained by that cartoon.John is pushed by dc so they have a black in the main league. They gave pushing him a break during the new 52 and tried cyborg instead. Pushback because the original teen titans was so popular. They’ll keep trying to make Stewart the main lantern until they can make someone else black.
>>11841902Movie 6?
>>11842630probably one of the later bayverse films. probably that one with the knight shit>>11842646fuck that looks clean
3 more starwars champions coming. man this line is expanding real fast
>>11842665i just noticed the heights. anakin is really tall for blokees here
No classic snips for us :(
I was 7 when episode 1 came out then I watched the ot. I know the ot is better and have no fondness for the movies of the prequels except one but I fucking love phase 1 clone troopers and anything that was in battlefront 2. I’m rambling but my point is prequel multimedia is some of the coolest shit in Star Wars.
>>11842646
>>11842715Mean lookin sum bitch
>>11842712>>11842714Easy general Kenobi kitbash
this set up can be yours for only $1900
>>11842771Just under $1,600 by my math. Not terrible considering. I wouldn’t do this for troopers. Fucked when it comes to clones tho.
>>11842664>Transformers 747>Revenge of the Fallen>Dark of the Moon>Age of Extinction>The Last Knight>Bumblebee>Rise of the Beasts?
>>11842888its whatever this is. i guess theyre redoing it?
>>11842888>>11842897oh wait a minute. these ones are specifically the Bee version. the older ones were RotB.
>>11842898What's the difference between Bumblebee Prime and RotB Prime's design?
>>11842905Colors and some slight detailing/proportions changes.
>>11842712>>11842714Based blokees for doing PT figures instead of OT as everyone always does. Also heard they increased heights to be closer to 1/12? Wonder if that means they will redo the stormtrooper
>>11843171Yup they are true 1/12 now
>>11843184Blokees doesn't do "true" 1/12 anymore because the last time they did (Rivals Spiderman) retards complained he was "too small" so now every other Champions human is just a non-scale ~15cm figure. Even Invisible Woman was upsized by 5mm from her true 1/12 height. Same with BND Spiderman, also given an extra 5mm. In the case of Anakin, he actually falls short of 2mm
>>11843269Ok.
>>11843285you know you can see the height on the figure stands, cross reference with official character data and do math instead of taking a random twitter user's word for it right lol
>>11843302Ok.
>>11842771Man...that would take me quite a while to assemble.
>>11843314
>>11842905>>11842978BB Prime is more red around the waist and arms. The ROTB Prime also has silver windshields. Very minor changes, although people like the BB Prime better. I dont mind either one personally...
>>11843575if you build 3 a week, you'll be done in less than a year
>>11842897Looking at this made me wish that blokees would get the fallout license. I would probably buy every single power armor they put out if they did
>>11842897Damn, I’m a strict “no non-transforming TFs” collector but I love the sculpt of that Bumblebee
>>11843765the best part about blokees is that you can suggest it to them on any of their socials and they will take it seriously.
I guess if anyone wants an "updated" Stormtrooper, just buy a bunch of Han solos. It's weird that the base stormtrooper isn't based on Hans body. It's also a little weird that the box says Luke is 15.4cm tall but he's the same exact height as the regular Stormtrooper
Have new Marvel blokees like moon knight stopped going to Walmart for 15 bucks?
>>11843850Yep, I did exactly that when the Hans were $10, so I grabbed two. If I was really into Star Wars I might have grabbed more but two to go side by side with Darth I think was sufficient, especially because I have no interest in a Star Wars specific shelf and they will probably share something with my Bert and Ernie and whatever Pokemon Blokee I end up overpaying for. I already decided I'm selling off the few Transformers I got, including the ones that are still sitting in unopened boxes.>>11843834I have been doing that as much as I can, every time I write to them - very politelyI'm not getting on Instagram, much less fucking Facebook, in order to @ at some Chinese company, just so they will do something even if I really want it.
Champions Hush Batman and Catwoman coming SeptemberAlso coming SeptemberBlokees Obiwan Kenobi Champion Class 08Blokees Commander Cody Champion Class 09Blokees Optimus Prime 2.0 Action Edition 07
>>11842771>>11842773Actually, when they were on sale last week, you could have managed to do it with Han's for under $1300. Now, IT would set you back over $1800, plus sales tax so $1900 is not wrong, at least not in NA.
>>11844122I was going off $15 each
>>11843834hopefully with fallout figures becoming more frequent recently it'll be easier for them to get the license with some prodding then. idk what other characters would fit their style but I'd KILL for a ranger figure that isn't made by mcfarlane
>>11844600Fallout really would make a great fit. At this point there's alot of material to cover and it's an underserved market to boot. Champion Class kits of FO3 Liberty Prime and FO2 Frank Horrigan would kick major ass. My wishlist still spans the likes of Ben 10, Go Nagai, Robocop, and Terminator.
>>11844604Fallout and Ben 10 are my dream 1:12 (or close to) lines. I'd even buy a blind box line of either franchise just because I'm so starved for decent figures
>>11844600>>11844604I did my part and messaged them on facebook suggesting fallout. maybe it'll take years for even a consideration from them but a little goes a long way ya know?
>>11842715>>11842717Yeah - that will probably sell really well. I give no fucks for the character but if that's as inexpensive as I hope it will get, I would grab it for a black body try to customize into Midnighter. I'd add the soft goods trench coat, of course.
>>11842716want someone to kit bash this into generic robot or alien droidcould potentially be another great army builder
>>11841183this is what I thought the Mega Man line would be like
>>11845383army building with a kit of this size and price point? yeesh not even the most dedicated gunpla builders are willing to build MG sized armies, even the older simpler ones.
>>11845395Same here. Maybe there's still a chance it could be. I'm still a staunch proponent of Blokees Medabots fwiw.
>>11844619Same here fren. My only stipulation for a Ben 10 line would be avoiding the reboot designs altogether. Their PPG line will be dead on arrival by virtue of taking after the 2016 series instead of the 98' classic. Here's hoping they're wise enough to put out a Powerpuff Dynamo before shuttering the collection.>>11844621Many thanks anon. If you're willing to vouch for more of our wishlists I might even prep some concept art for a few licenses. Hopefully it'd sway them towards some of those properties.
>>11845499I mean someone did >>11842771 this IRL, I'm working on doing an alien display with 1/9 and 1/10 figures now, some 1/12 since these aren't some team but opposing mechanical alien armies fighting one another. And the most I have managed of any one single possible 'army builder' is 3 action figures, partially due to costs, but also availability.I'd like another one of at least two of the lines I have, but RN, that's another $40+ sales tax and I don't think it's worth it. Not when I got three of these for $7.99 each.But yeah, I forgot he was Legends, so will probably MSRP for $35-40 like the EVAs. I assumed he was the smaller class like the Storm Troopers.
If they ever make FO Blokees I really hope they make a Chinese Stealth Suit one.>>11844621>>11843834I emailed them a few months ago to suggest Murder Drones. I tried enticing Blokees by mentioning how well merch sales and the Kickstarter went. I also mentioned TADC and how successful it had been. But then the finale happened and Goodsmile made a Pomni Nendo. I wouldn't be surprised if Glitch signed some exclusive deal with Goodsmile.I just want some show-accurate articulated DDs and Tessa, man.
>>11845193Faggot
>>11836302I really hope they do a Superman as well.>>11842897I'm really keen on this, it's the best movie Bumblebee design.
>>11842665God damn and do we know if these are all still gonna be like $15? So much more worth it than black series.
>>11845580i wish he was champions because I wouldnt mind buying copies of ultron >>11846031they should be about that price since theyre the champions line
>>11845807Yep, a vanilla non-movie version would be great>>11846031>are all still gonna be like $15?That was just at Walmart and some of the Marvel were never available at that price even though the rest were. Everyplace else had them for $19.99, which is still cheaper than MSRP for Black Series.
Also, just got a reply from Blokees on Facebook regarding the Fallout suggestion. If you guys wanna see it take off, give them a message. Maybe for the Ben 10 stuff too.
Blokees Astral Rally
>>11846190What even is the CCP's stance on the Fallout series? I can't imagine they're too keen on US vs China nuclear war.
>>11846190That's the canned copy pasta I got when I made suggestions as far back as last year, maybe in the summer as well.I do think people should @ them on their socials (e.g. instagram and xshitter). I'm on neither, or I would.
For me, I hope we get Sentai Ranger figures. But I'm ignorant to the legality behind that want.
>Been collecting the transformers on and off for a few months now>Got REALLY into them because the first one I got was a painted optimus g1 variant>After having a few pretty much have all I want out of them>See my country has latest set, try to pull for scorponok, cyclonus, or galvatron, but then no more>Pull a painted rodimus, like a sign to keep buyingAlso bought Mari from evangelion expecting (without watching reviews, of course) a semi model kit to rival bandai's 30mp but cheaper (which she is), she's basically a cheap version of a figma that I just gotta snap in the joints, her left leg joint fucking snapped due to excess plastic and the holding hands can barely hold that stupid drink thing but for the price and the amount of "effort" to build her is fine, the stand makes up for the lack of leg strength (it still works mostly but she ain't doing any one legged standing poses, not that I'd try with these legs in the first place) Tell me, anyone else have that issue or did my rodimus steal her luck, I'm not bothered but I am curious
>>11846330havent had any blokees break on me. which part of the legs joint broke?
>>11836208I really hate how it's pronounced blockied but spelled bloke-ees.>>11836464Stop bringing up your disgusting cartoon about unconvincing transvestites giving each other rimjobs through a truck stop glory hole at every opportunity.
>>11846576it's not bloke as in british bloke + eesit's pronounced block + eez
>>11846082>>11846087Ah, showing my poorfag colors. I discovered the Stormtroopers and Vader when I was grocery shopping at walmart. Would never have learned about this line otherwise. $20 is still 40+% cheaper than bandai's asking price for their low effort polycap shit. Only thing bandai seems to do better is their plastic for troopers is shinier, but it's a small enough difference I don't really give a shit for a $15 difference in price.
>>11846869hey if we're getting this level of quality at this price, I don't mind being a poorfag. I'm really excited for their Batman and Catwoman which should come in the next 2 months
>>11846869Apparently some Walmart's have clearanced out all the Marvel Rivals and Infinity War stock they had for $10. Not sure if it's nationally, but my local stores will deliver the Vadar for $10. But the Deadpool and a few are now only available from third party scalpers and above retail.>>11846899I look for bargains. I might spend a 1 or 2 hundred on some stuff from BBTS in one order, but that doesn't mean I haven't tossed an $8 or $4 clearance sale figure in there. Last time I closed out a pile of loot, they had a Super 7 Ultimate cartoon looking GI Joe: https://super7.com/products/g-i-joe-ultimates-wave-2-flint that was originally like $70, down to $13. I don't collect military stuff or Joe's but had like $15 of store credit I wanted to use up so I dumped it in.Wanting to save money makes sense, if people want to call anyone poorfag, that's just their own shit.

>>11846847>it's not bloke as in british bloke + eesBe funny if it was, might just call my figures my blokes
>>11846949God damn, I didn't know they did marvel rivals. I kind of want their Spider-Man and venom. At such a price I can deal with any gripes I'd usually have.>Wanting to save money makes sense, if people want to call anyone poorfag, that's just their own shit.Appreciate the potential shift in attitude of the board.>>11846899They're doing Batman, too? Shit these guys came out of nowhere and are just getting all the licenses. There a list anywhere?
>>11847154theres no master list or anything but there are leaks such as here >>11844042 and you can see some star wars prototypes stuff in this thread. theres also megaman stuff
>>11847296God I want that zero now. Actually 2 of them to make an omega or maybe 3 of them to make the blue form, always loved that in MZ2
is it bloke-ys or blockies?
>>11847360Блoкиc
>>11846190I dont have FB but please tell them to do x01s not just more fucking t45/60s
>>11847296Thanks for posting the previously showcased EXE kits, it motivated me to get around to this mock up. I'm not the biggest fan of the EXE series but I recognize how popular it is among Megaman diehards. I commend blokees for covering that corner of the property first because of how underserved it is otherwise. Having said as much I believe there's alot of potential in the classic and X series if they handle them the same way they have TF. Galaxy Defender and the slightly larger scale above them would allow the designers to cover an extreme amount of ground, possibly more than any past licensees ever had. If those sets did well enough then you could easily cover the X series in the Champion or Action scales. Sigma would especially lend himself to the latter.
Speaking of the Action scale, these four popped into mind today when I was mulling over the Toy Story kits. They really havent gotten all that much coverage in past Toy Story lines. Mattel finally covered Gibraltar 5 years ago and now he's ballooned upto 120 bucks new., Robot rarely got many toys outside of the unarticulated children's figurine toylines and some fast food options, Transitron continues to be cucked out of any legitimate merchandising, and Reptillious only ever had the one 5POA Mattel release. With the Action scale being the biggest Blokees could potentially make alot of bank off the backs of disney adults, toy story cultists, and casual buyers since these four overlap with their other major licenses. Transformers fans would appreciate Transitron and Robot while capeshitters would like Gibraltar and Reptillius.
>>11846190Thanks for passing the message onto them. If it's not too bothersome feel free to send them some of my cruddy mock ups and suggestions. Those seiya figures posted earlier in the thread really brought AF Ben to mind.
>>11847415I really do wonder if the PPG sets will see any success. You rarely see any buzz around the kiddy IP. Sesame Street's been the only blokees line outside of TF, SW, and Marvel I've seen any discussion around upto this point. The Minions stuff came and went without leaving any sort of impression and I expect the same of the PPG line. Even if they'ed taken inspiration from the original series I just dont know if the license has the legs for kits. In anycase, should it take off, I'd like a Powerpuff Dynamo kit. Dexter's Lab would offer a bunch of fun designs too but that seems like an even bigger stretch.
>>11847483
>>11847483I think the problem - if there is one - with PPG will be the same problem with Minions and to a lesser extent all the licenses they have that aren't being talked about. The EVA fans jump all over those releases, whether you see them here or on-line or elsewhere. I chat up the GameStop employees and that's partially why, besides the obvious listing of Marvel, they also did the Miku and the EVA pre-orders. It's not a genuine loss-leader for them, the way Walmart is treating Blokees, because GameStop is listing them at full retail, but you still have to order something else from them to get free shipping and if you do Ship to Store to get free shipping, like I often do, you still are in their store and trapped and possibly buying something on impulse. Minions is so incredibly popular - even if the current movie isn't HUGE huge, it's still easily made over $100M in two weeks, which is nothing to sneeze at in this day and age. Those Minion Blokees should be at least as popular by a 1 to 4 or 1 to 5 ratio to Mario or Sonic toys, and yet you don't see in retail and it's fucking hard to find them on-line, like someone said in the Fortnite thread on the catalog, even re-releases of that line don't populate on Amazon.
>>11847483>the license has the legs for kitsAlso, these all look like they are going the same way as the small Miku's, the Sesame Street, and Minions, not really kits but disassembled figures, I forget what some folks here call them? And I need more coffee!If the PPG girls were like 2.5 inches and could at least articulate as well as some of the 3/3.5 action figures that have knee and elbow joints do, I'd buy some to have on a shelf annoying the Superman or Thor figures, or worse have them circle the Darth Vader. They could a lot of fun to have. And I didn't even grow up on a Cartoon Network. I just know the girls from memes and fan art.And yeah, I'd love them to do something like a full on Dexter's Lab LAB as a model kit.
>>11838731it’s just how many votes they had in their poll you illiterate dumbfuck

>>11847786I really hope they've considered it already. Alot of the franchises anons here have proposed would suit that scale so well. Today I remembered pic related and realized this could be a brilliant way to open the doors to defender Toy Story sets too. Especially since mini-Buzz and mini-Zurg could be included.
>>11847872That's where I'm at frankly. The redesigns are just so hard to ignore, and seeing bliss among the offerings just leaves a bitter tsste in my mouth. The chinese also have this predilection to caking on blush and copious detail to simple designs that ruin them. The stuff they've showcased for PPG is steeped in popmart/labubu influence and it just further pushes me away from the entire package. It's a shame too because I wouldnt have hesitated to pick up Bunny, Bullet, or the Rowdy Ruffs. There's gold in them there hills but they really just started out on the wrong foot. The vintage Trendmasters line BTFO's the blokees line.
>>11847526How much of the fault is at the feet of Warner or Blokees? Really there's no advertisement for the bulk of PPG merch we're seeing now. If you're not in the know, it goes by unnoticed. Talk about a hot mess.>>11847530I've always been of the opinion an ideal PPG line should take some cues from the Calico Critters. Take that general design, apply it to the girls and the various locations, then make the bad guys significantly larger and more detailed. Imagine thr juxtaposition between the aforrmentioned critters and late 90's Kenner/Trendmaster's action figures. That's more or less what I had in mind, pic related.
If facebook anon is still lurking, please run these ideas past blokees.
>>11847722hey ass-wipe, a shitty poll is a shitty poll
>>11847483These are products for girls. Asian girls are actually pretty hooked on ppg merch which is why every chinese brand did something with it. They are not going to release them as champion class or anything
I don't really know what this means. It's not on the app, and it's not on their website (just the same old thirty party marketplace scalpers). This Target only got 6 and only Cap. With no indication that more or others were forthcoming, even more stock of just the Cap.
Someone please tell the CEO of Blokees that “Classic Class” is a dumb name.
>>11842898It feels odd that they introduced torso articulation to DotM Bee and Megatron but this Optimus won't have it.
>>11846330>Pull a painted rodimusLucky, I pulled the battle damaged Optimus but it came with the fucking sharkticon body parts. I messaged them a week ago for a replacement and they said they've forwarded it to their factory, but who knows if they'll send me a replacement.>>11847476Really cool idea, this made me realize if blokees did Ben 10 it'd probably be like a higher quality creation chamber line. Which would literally be a dream come true since it was one of the first toy lines I was obsessed with as a kid, though if the monkeys paw curls and we get reboot designs I'm gonna have a fit
>>11848787>pulls a secret>gets sharkticoni'd be so fucking mad lmao
Defender Astral Rally Promo Pics
>>11848866
Another Target, before our movie, at the larger mall location. Right next to where the Hasbro Spider-Man and Legends were. Also 6 and also just the Cap.
>>11848848>i'd be so fucking mad lmaoI was, it ruined my mood for an hour or two. I was thinking about how some guy out there thought he got sharkticon then opened the main bag and saw the Optimus parts, lucky bitch
>>11848654Almost all their naming conventions are idiotic.Galaxy at least kinda went with Transformers when that was all anyone knew of Blokees.But Defender for the Dino egg's and blind boxes?Fuck that noise.
>>11848043Zurg WOULD be fun
>>11848943Overpriced You can get them for $15 online at Amazon or Walmart
Blokees Astral Rally FactionsEMU - Earth-Moon UnionME - Martian empireVK - Venusian KingdomI feel like Blokees is only teasing us with the defenders kits and in the future will be making actual Champions mecha kits to compete with Gunpla
>>11849375
>>11848980Seeing as they kicked off the line with Action Hi-tech Buzz, an Action edition Fortnite Zurg would be kind of cool too. I hope they milk Toy Story for every penny.
>>11849264>can get them for $15 online at AmazonThe Cap, yes. The plain vanilla IM, also yes. Everything else (Marvel) is $19.99 or more except for, surprisingly, the Wolverine ($17.99). Walmart has yes, that Cap, and the Thor and plain IM for $15+, everything else is $19.99 or more (in their case, including Logan).My point in posting the pictures was to show the market is growing. Another store that sells Blokees is another market that opens up to the wider brands and licenses and the model kits in general.>OverpricedI certainly didn't and wouldn't pay $19.99 for these.I already own two of the Cap, I'm not sure I'm building the second but wanted it for parts when it was cheap. I suspect most people HERE who want one already own one.
>>11848787>it'd probably be like a higher quality creation chamber lineA Defenders range would totally fill that niche yeah. I imagine the mid-range champion sets would feel like better versions of those short lived Omniverse omni-kits. >if the monkeys paw curls and we get reboot designs I'm gonna have a fitUnlike PPG I believe Ben is safe from that sort of thing because what little merchandising he's gotten in the last few years is all heavily pulling from the OS, AF, and OV. They are actively avoiding the reboot like the plague, and rightfully so.
I saw eva blokees at a random mall in my shitty third world country, which I wasn't expecting at all, didn't bother checking the prices cuz I already know to be sold in a mall they're gonna be too expensive.
>>11849789if you are in SEA then that's where it would naturally be found. after all, it's blokees. you can find gunpla in malls too but as you said, theyre gonna jack up the price
>>11849419>I hope they milk Toy Story for every penny.I'm just not excited for most of them, unless they were dirt cheap. I picked up all the Sesame Street, but really am only going to keep Bert and Ernie unless they make a really big Oscar with a great trash can or a really cool something else. If I wanted a Big Bird, the NECA would suit me fine but I would look at a Blookee's Legend's sized one. But there are Toy Story toys that would be fun to get but the easiest's ones to expect are the ones Pixar invented, like Buzz and Zurg, or the aliens, not the ones that already exist, like Mr. Potato Head, Magic 8 Ball, the army soliders, etc. Because they would need that license. PICREL is like $70+ on Ali right now, they are leaving money on the table not putting one out and making people wait.
>>11849792>>11849789I thought someone once posted a few months back that you could actually get the galaxy boxes at gas stations? I think in Vietnam?
>>11849831I have seen blokees wheels in gas stations in malaysia. well, hotwheels are usually found in gas stations here too so it makes sense. i havent seen galaxies though. maybe in bigger cities but not smaller ones that i live in.
>>11849828Well that's what I was getting at earlier with my picks for a Toy Story Action edition line up. We already got a foot in the door with Buzz, so we should focus on the characters nobody else is offering while treating the bigger names like bait to casual buyers. Transitron, Gibraltar, Reptilius, and Robot are all Pixar originals aswell.
>>11849964Oh, I agree with you. I'm just personally not invested. The Ben 10 stuff ditto except it would be easier to get some army build type kits from after market sellers once it's a popular mass production item. I bet some of the Infinity Wars kit will pop up on Mercari and eBay just like Defender TFs do today.

>>11850238Bee and Prime can't come out soon enough.
Champions Rivals Venom RECOLOUR will also be available at SDCC in limited quantities (3000 units) for $35 (kinda pricey for blokees champions). Standard venom accessories. I'm surprised a recolour has popped up this early. Really getting their mileage out of that Venom. I feel a spiderman recolour would've been more popular since there's two good recolours for him.
>>11850012Fair enough, thanks for entertaining my autistic ravings in anycase. >except it would be easier to get some army build type kits from after market sellers once it's a popular mass production itemIs that you, Vilgax? Jokes aside there were a ton of faceless grunts in the first four shows. Non-fans would likely have a field day with all those dudes.
Include these guys in the hypothetical Ben 10 line at the same rates the sharkticons, constructicons, and seekers were in the TF line.
>>11850319No clue, I tried to see the live action movie because I like the actor who played Ben and couldn't sit through it. I've seen clips of the show but it's not funny like Dexter's Lab can be (which I'll admit I have never sat through an episode and what I have seen probably doesn't add up to an hour); ditto for pretty much most everything else: PPG, etc. I'm more someone who paid attention to Venture Brothers. Give me an entire line of Blokee's Model kits of those, with good face printing, and I'd buy 'em, and then I can army build H.E.L.P.eR.
>>11850251I think new the best price I saw for the Venom was $27, just like the Rocket or the Peni SP // DR. So $35 isn't that much of a jump. Was all this appropriate? Walmart, at least in my part of the country, didn't put the MR on rollback prices as loss leaders, they have never been lower than $19.99, unless some stores did their own clearance sales.
>>11850324Frog soldiers would be easy, some of these would be very cartoony looking, no? Next to other kits?I'm all for that generic alien robot or humanoid soldier all in silver, however.
>>11850238>Defender - DC wave 3 Arkham
>>11850553
>>11850557
Someone already has the Legends Ultron 8 whole days ago. As an Ultron player for support roles, I gotta have him even if he's gigantic
>>11850725He maybe got it at that recent con?I'm also sure the "influencers" are getting product if they are reviewing it, photographing, etc.
>>11850883seems like he got in from taiwan and seemingly from a regular toy store. doesnt seem like an influencer type either. barely anything on his channel, small following on instagram. maybe he just got lucky and bought it while the store wasnt sure about the release date?https://youtube.com/shorts/tqlVN-OX_SY?si=QfvLTtaADsGPTQeB
>>11836208When can I buy these clones?>>11836471I mean, Mafex did some Batman figures but they’re hardly affordable. I haven’t bought a Batman figure yet because there haven’t been any good ones around the $40 range.
>>11850553Is this a joke? What the hell is this ugly garbage?
>>11851231It is a joke, yes. Those are mattel figures from 2012.
>>11850440The first four installments are closer to the likes of Mighty Max, Teen Titans '03, Superman TAS, or The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest than they are to the comedy cartoons of early CN. The franchise was effectively the big boy's toy cartoon of the 2000's with only Bakugan rivaling it. It was a big enough success that they tried trend chasing it with two similar shows too, Generator Rex and Secret Saturdays. It ended up playing out alot like the success of Thundarcats when it was followed up by Silverhawks and Tigersharks. If you watch any one movie I'd say give Secret of the Omnitrix a shot. It's the series finale to the original show, but if it isnt your cup of tea that's fine too.>VBI can still see the pegs at my local TRU clogged with Sphinx suit Brocks and Dr Girlfriends.
>>11851246Oh thank goodness. I would like a Blokees Red Hood and I was horrified by the pic. Kinda unrelated but I would also like a Blokees Black Manta.
>>11851219theyre not out yet. they will likely be released in the last week of July. we dont have precise date leaks like last month. you can find them on aliexpress or if the distribution is global this time, the local toy stores should have them
>>11851219>WhenThese are the Champion Class clones you can buy today and could have bought for the past few months on line or at retail (Walmart, Hobby Town, etc.):https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/product/star-wars-champion-class-02-stormtrooper-model-kit-170269?variation=336592>>11851397The OP image is likely improver paint aps like the new Ultraman wave and I think someone said they are slightly taller? But I assume the stores that ask for restocked merch will get this.
>>11851556i dont think theyve added height. we know that han solo stormtrooper was always planned as 15.4cm tall so these guys are likely just gonna unnoticeably taller than the standard stormtrooper or exactly the same. luke was listed as 15cm on the box but ended being exactly the same height as the standard stormtrooper which didnt have a listed height on the box. the clonetropers are likely going to be the same height
>>11850238do we know what's included in the Arkham wave?
>>11851600this is the roster
>>11851604oh I didn't know it meant the little ones. Hopefully we'll get a big Batgirl soon
>>11851600>>11851610Yep, those are more of the Defender series.I mean, the cases are cheap. I have the Justice League one on pre-order at BBTS and it was about $25-30 for the box, supposedly shipping this month but no update as of this morning. I'm not one of those impatient assholes, I mean, I still have some other Blokees I haven't had time to assemble, and even Dino eggs still in their shipping packages, and other shit to unbox. If you don't like them this small, then yeah, you will need to wait for a Batgirl or the guy wanting a Red Hood >>11851377 It feels/looks like they are dropping no more than 4 DC a year in the Champion Class size?Hopefully now that they can legally sell them in the USA, this might change, especially with Target now selling the larger boxes in stores. More sales will definitely show more demand.
>marvel gen having another threadly breakdown over blokees
>>11852175they were having a melty about their OP too. couldn't tell if it was some elaborate samefagging or they seriously have nothing better to discuss
early August
>>11852234The DC Gen also has a shitty OP, both of them are full of complaints. This board is probably older than some of the other boards I visit but it literally reeks, badly, of lonely, sad man children with little better to do sometimes, even though many talk about having kids. At least that one anon that post ever so often about playing with his daughter with all his old castles sets sounds like he's having a good time.

Astral Rally [Blokees original IP] LoreThe story is a simple one, translated directly and accurately as it has been done before.The world in the story is divided into 3 parties.EMU: A federation that unites the nations on Earth and the Moon, gathering together. It is similar to the United Nations for the United Nations and two other parties, each with separate governing powers, meeting together. The environment is diverse, providing a high level of adaptation for the characters.ME: The Martian Empire rules as a unified power, with the most perfectly balanced planets near Earth, but due to its slightly weaker gravity, the characters have larger bodies to counteract gravity, emphasizing endurance and strength.VK: The royal armor is a protective armor, inherited from the royal lineage, with a tradition of martial arts, featuring special energy sources. The VK character emphasizes close-range combat, graceful movements, and unique patterns.The overall picture of the three factions is like a cold war with each side vying for power to prevent direct confrontation, so they compete in the name of the Rally of Astral, organizing teams from each side or other independent teams to compete against each other, serving as a technology showcase for all three factions instead of engaging in actual warfare.The competition is named after the word "Rally," not just a simple contest, but with various rules, from speed competitions to battle royals within diverse terrain, including rules for selecting or randomly assigning characters, and additional vehicles in each round.For the contest, the "Out" in the Battle game, and the teams have a variety of options, ranging from 1:1, 3:3, elimination, broken characters, and character changes, but with time limits depending on the round.Taken from Blokees Th News & Updates Facebook pages and translated by Facebook
>>11853229Hope Blokees makes a full proportioned version of these Astral Rally stuff
>>11853229here's another one
>>11853229and the one with the most drip
>>11853227>Terraventure - JW Wave 4So where the fuck are the wave 3 dinos for sale? Don't tell I will have to fucking order a Future Crushed Case Box from Ali?
>>11853261>>11853259>>11853257These look like a pre-emptive "Fuck You" to Hasbro if the news Has low would start making their own model kits meant the Transformer rights were being stripped from Blokees.
Hasbro just released pics for their Zelda figures. I have the feeling Blokees has a great chance of getting the ip too since nintendo seems to be searching a more global aproach with toys
>>11853257>>11853259>>11853261I wish the designs were a little more distinct. Anytime the chinese try their hands at super robots everything turns out looking like a hodgepodge of gundam and transformer influences. At the very least these guys will come in handy for customs and part swaps. I wish them the best, but I'd be lying if I didnt cop to how badly I want them to pick up another robot IP. Robotech, Voltron, Pacific Rim, hell I'd even settle for Mechwarrior or Battletech.
>>11853538Blokees getting a hold of nintendo does seem like a winning combination. Man I hope facebook anon is sharing these ideas with them.>>11853346Has there been confirmation of the license being pulled? I dont doubt it as a possibility with how cunty hasbro can be but maybe there's a chance they wont rugpull blokees?
>>11853538Also blokees is pretty much chinese hasbro at this point so yeah if they want chinese people buying nintendo toys Blokees would be the easiest way
>>11853343yep Ali it is>>11853346I feel like theyre more geared as gunpla competitors or at least bandai's 30MM line.>>11853583i could message them about Nintendo. I think Zelda and Mario would be kind of expected but something Pikmin or Splatoon would be unique
>>11853677Go for it. I really hope they consider my toy story and ben 10 suggestions.
>>11853227>>11853343Apparently Walmart may have leaked it a little while back. No clue if legit, but seems to be.
My Target moved, and expanded, their TF Blokees section to the Toy aisle.
>>11854457A smaller Target had the Deadpool so I suspect all of these Marvel, and eventually all these Champions Class will show up at Target, but well after they've been available on-line and even in stores. I mean effing Hobby Town has had all of these on their shelves at the same time, not just one character and in limited supply.Also, according to a toy lead, these will be treated like the Pokemon cards, you cannot order for pickup or delivery, you have to come in person.
Megaman kits in coloured plastic. What do you guys think?
>>11855013They're looking better and better. I hope they sell well.
>>11855013Why is Geo black? He's supposed to be a dark blue. Omega's plasma is also the wrong color, but that one doesn't matter as much.
>>11855013Zero looks very accurate proportions and face wise. All the extra detail doesn't bothers me too much as he looks like that mmz3 artwork whith the split face
RotB Prime
>>11855705RotB Bee
Sue (Invisible Woman), Rocket are up for pre-order at GameStop; no news yet as of Jeff (or Ultron); Nightwing, HQ are Batman Beyond are also up for pre-order, no Superman. The new DaaLaMode series Evangelion Miracle Links are also up for pre-order but you are ordering ONE blind box, not the case. These will probably show up at SOME stores (if they carried the Miku, these will also show up, but likely just ONE case per store.IF you want to save on shipping ONE or TWO of any of these, if you order to a retail store, the shipping is free, and you only need to give them $5 per figure to hold a pre-order. But this only works BEFORE the pre-order date. And you need to do it AT THE STORE. You also need to stay on top of the pre-order yourself, to make sure you get it, as they only give you a few days to pick it up or they put it out to sell; you do get to go back in person to get your money back but you are SOL on getting the figure. Watch the site for pre-order dates and call them that day to ask what's going on and follow-up as they suggest.
Also, working on the new bake - going to totally ignore making it a SDCC edition, like every other GEN. So should have a fresh thread up in less than 15 minutes, just trying to make sure the Where To Buy paste is updated. Will be using the King Joe box for the OP image, unless folks have other ideas?
>>11855705>>11855708It's BBM actually, not ROTB, but nevertheless, I need both and I can't wait to get them next month.
>>11855775sounds good to me>>11855820ah shit youre right
