Blokees has officially announced the launch of Blokees Star Wars Galaxy Version 02, a new wave of highly detailed, snap-together model kits that capture some of the most iconic moments and characters from the original trilogy.
Following the success of their initial Star Wars offerings, this second “Galaxy Version” wave shifts the focus toward the climactic environments of Hoth and Tatooine. For Star Wars fans who enjoy the intersection of action figures and model building, these kits offer a unique blend of articulation and screen-accurate detail.
What’s Included in Galaxy Version 02?
The new lineup features a diverse array of heroes and villains, allowing builders to recreate specific battle scenes. The announced characters for this wave include:
- Darth Vader: The Dark Lord of the Sith returns, leading his forces with a commanding presence.
- Snowtroopers: These specialized Imperial soldiers are ready to command the icy frontlines, perfect for Hoth-themed displays.
- Sandtroopers: Moving from the cold to the heat, the Sandtroopers are featured patrolling the desert dunes of Tatooine.
- Luke Skywalker and R2-D2: The heroic duo is featured “moving forward” into their destiny, offering a centerpiece for Rebel fans.
Quality and Articulation
Blokees has carved out a niche in the toy market by providing “Champion Class” and “Galaxy Version” kits that do not require glue, paint, or specialized tools. Each figure in the Blokees Star Wars Galaxy Version 02 line is constructed from high-quality ABS plastic and features multiple points of articulation.
Typically standing around 3 to 4 inches tall (depending on the specific sub-line), these figures are designed for dynamic posing. Whether you want a Snowtrooper aiming his blaster through a blizzard or Darth Vader in a mid-duel stance, the joints are engineered to hold steady. The snap-fit assembly also makes them accessible to younger collectors while maintaining enough detail to satisfy long-time Star Wars fans.
Regional Availability and Release
Collectors should take note of the authorized sales regions for this specific release. According to the official announcement, Blokees Star Wars Galaxy Version 02 will be available in the following territories:
- East Asia: Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan region, South Korea, and Japan.
- Southeast Asia: Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, Brunei, and Cambodia.
If you live in North America and want to secure these, you are most likely going to have to get them via import. Some places like BigBadToyStore, or Hobby Link Japan, should be good options.
Why Blokees is Gaining Momentum
In a crowded market of Star Wars collectibles, Blokees stands out by offering an affordable, interactive experience. Unlike static statues, these kits give the user the satisfaction of building their own character from the ground up. The “Galaxy Version” series is particularly popular for its blind-box style or wave-based releases, which encourage fans to collect entire squads of troopers to build out dioramas.
As the Star Wars collecting community looks toward the next big thing, the mix of playability and display-worthy aesthetics found in Blokees Star Wars Galaxy Version 02 makes it a must-have for the year. Keep your eyes on the horizon, and the icy plains of Hoth, as these kits begin to hit shelves.
