These Blokees figures come in a blind box, meaning, you have no way of knowing what's inside the box until you open them. I find these blind boxes fun. Well, that is, until you end up getting every figure except the ones you really wanted. For me, those were the GUTS Member (a guy from the GUTS team in Ultraman Tiga, who strongly resembles Daigo, the human host of Tiga), and Alien Raybeak, with his cool black suit. I also think Kyrieloid and the two Tigas looked sweet (Multi Type and Sky Type). Having owned 2 Tigas from my previous Gatanozoa set (the stone version and darker shaded Multi Type), I knew what to expect, including the pretty cool articulation.
I opted to just get an entire case so that it would guarantee that I'd get the ones I really wanted, as opposed to getting a few individual boxes and potentially ending up with figures I could pass on, or even repeats. This would ensure that Alien Raybeak and GUTS Member would be mine.
The set came with 9 boxes. Each one has 2 plastic bags, one containing a black base stand with an official card of the character and small printed directions on how to build it. The other bag contains the pieces for putting the figure together. All the characters included are Ultraman Tiga Sky Type, Ultraman Tiga Multi Type, Ultraman Trigger, Ultraman X, Ultraman X Beta Spark Armor, Golza, Kyrieloid, GUTS Member and Alien Raybeak. Each figure comes with a beam or energy effect, a weapon or gun, and some of the Ultras come with 2 pairs of hands. The GUTS Member has a helmet, as well as a piece of hair that can be interchangeable for displaying him with or without head gear. Finally, the Golza figure came with a tiny solid Daigo figure holding his Sparklence that he uses to transform into Tiga.
Each figure, once assembled, contains multiple ball joints and hinges, allowing you to pose them. Ultraman X Beta Spark Armor includes a translucent blue energy beam that can actually spin. Since every character has a head that plugs into a ball peg, you can switch them around, putting a different head on a different character for variety and fun. Also, each figure ended up with an extra ball peg, and those can fit into the holding hands and can sub for a microphone if you so wish. That way you can have them sing or do some karaoke.
This set is ultimately very cool. Even characters I'm not a big fan of (like Trigger) still look appealing, with their small, slightly super deformed appearance. I'm glad I picked up this set. I will definitely keep an eye out for any future sets or figures that might catch my attention. And since they are small, they won't take up too much space.
Here's a short video clip showing Ultraman X's spinning energy attack.
