Transformers One - ELITA-1!

Transformers One: Classic Class Model Kits - Arcee - Bloks/Buluke/Blokees 2024

I love that action figure model kits are becoming so prevalent in recent years. Transformers One hit the theatres this past Fall and the majority of the products I've picked up so far have been model kits: two Yolopark kits from a few months ago, and now this Blokees kit. This is especially amusing since the main Studio Series Elita-1 from Hasbro isn't being released for another nine months. But these kits are an amazing way to pass the time until then. My first Blokees figure was Arcee from Rise of the Beasts. I had lukewarm feeling about her because of her odd proportions and construction. It seems like the majority of Transformers Blokees have been in a super-deformed style, so I assumed that would be a consistent design for the brand. But luckily this Elita-1 has perfect proportions and overall design. And with the cool light-up eyes feature and the $16 pricetag, I might even say this is the best value movie Elita-1 out there (if you can overlook the fact that she's non-transforming). Let's check her out below!

Here are the contents of the box. Four Sprues, an instruction book, and ten loose pieces 

(including two flat figure stand panels and a battery-pack chest piece with a light).

Elita comes with an extra set of gripping hands, a gun, an extra neck post, two figure stands, and two decorative energy effects that can be anchored into the bases.

I think Elita-1 is so much more photogenic with her eyes lit up, but here is a shot of her with her eyes dimmed.

Time for some Group and Comparison Pics!

Here are my three Elita-1 model kits together: Yolopark Cogless Mode, Blokees, and Yolopark Cogged Mode.

And here are all the Transformers One Elita-1 figures so far: From Left to Right: The Hasbro Robot Battler, the Yolopark 5" Cog-Less Mode, Blokees Model Kit, the Yolopark 7" Cogged Mode, and the Burger King Kid's Meal figure.

Here are the two female Transformers Blokees kits so far: Elita-1 from Transformers One and Arcee from Rise of the Beasts. I wasn't a huge fan of the overall proportions on the Arcee kit, but and extremely happy with Elita-1.

Cheers!
