Eight waves in and still surprising fans. Blokees pivots back to the regular scale with new official pics of wave 8 of the standard Galaxy Version series.
"One Shall Fall: The Final Clash Returns" (how final is final) brings a new wave of blind-boxed 5.5" kits features Optimus Prime, Hot Rod, Blitzwing, a T30-looking Metroplex, Sludge, dino mode Sludge, "Sharkticon", and Shrapnel -- and the original 86 Grand Mal, Unicron's Head (with little Autobot shuttle)! This series' hidden figure (1/36) is the half-dead Semi-Sleeping Optimus Prime, which may be the most relatable Optimus Prime has been in a while.
A look at the order page on the Blokees website makes clear the neat accessories these figures come with in addition to their usual sidearms (which are also featured in these promo shots): Shrapnel includes a wee insect-mode Bombshell, Metroplex has a tiny Optimus Prime whose call he can heed, Hot Rod includes Fishing Rod so he can go fish for a whopper (and catch a teeny Sharkticon instead), and dino Sludge has his pop-out eyes so your Devastator (however you got the parts) can reenact the movie.
Also of interest is some innovation in the pieces and articulation. On the website, Hot Rod is used as the demo piece to show off new articulation (new ab crunch joint, drop-down hips, side to side waist bends, thigh swivels, double-joint knees), and the official Blokees Twitter/X account has shared a video showing off the new articulation as demonstrated by the Optimus Prime figure.
Are you excited to complete your Dinobots display, or update your Optimus, or go fishing with Hot Rod?
