Overall I am reasonably impressed and intrigued by Sembo's style of blind box buildable figures, as while they're clearly aping off of Blokees they're not just copying their homework 1-to-1. However, if Blue Cop is anything to go by, there is room for improvement if they truly want to compete.

Finally, Blue Cop himself

• He looks great!

• The plastic used is somewhat lighter and more grainy to the touch than that of Blokees

• His joints are all perfectly tight

• His articulation is a mixed bag, having an ab crunch and super mobile shoulders, but limited bicep and thigh swivels

Next, the character specific parts

• Again, some of these parts are very similar to what you'd find in Galaxy Version Blokees Transformers

• Unlike Blokees, the printed details are completely flat, more like what you'd see on Lego pieces

• The fitting between some of these parts is VERY tight

➡️

First, the common parts all of these figures share

• The first bag contains two sprues, a display base (with Lego sized studs…!) and a nice foil card

• The manual has you build a simple inner frame first, which has both similarities and differences to that of Galaxy Version Blokees Transformers

I mean, no - 69 is scandalous because it's the name of a sex position, whereas 67 is funny because, uh, some kid said it or something

If you used a mold for these you should use it to make big jelly gems I think

Aesthetic amputations on pets such as docking tails, cropping ears and declawing, unless strictly medically necessary, should be outlawed, and both practitioners and owners who have this done should have their pets revoked and be banned from owning more.

Meanwhile Galaxy Version and Shining Version have both been evolving with each new wave, and while the figures do share a core build with at least their wave mates, they all each still manage to have at least one aspect of their design or construction that separates them from the rest, y'know?

Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy collecting Defender Version and I think they're perfectly good little toys, but I've found them significantly less compelling than everything else from Blokees, largely due to their incredibly simple construction with very little differentiation between figures.
