Review: Blokees 85023 Herospire Version 2

I bought this because I was curious and it was the last one left on the shelf for this particular release.  Blokees make a number of different lines of Blind boxes.  The company calls this line "Herospire Warrior" but the name on the box is "Hero Infinity: Galaxy Version Turbo".  This is the second release from this line called "Fearless Demon Child".


Box.  I paid $5.99 at Newbury Comics for this.

Contents.



We've got a Game Stat card, Instructions,
Base, Parts bag, and display piece.






Parts.  You have to be careful when putting this together.  I put the shins
of this model facing the wrong way and I'm not sure I can fix the problem
without breaking it.  The ball joints pop apart easy enough, the other
joints don't.  The handle section of the sword seems to be a little bigger
than a standard Lego Bar so it probably won't fit a Clip without wrecking it.

Build.  This is "Xiahou Dun Battle Suit".  The "monocle" could be
Spotting.  The head could be Defense or Spotting.  The shoulder pauldrons
could be Defense.  The waist armor could be Defense.  The sword
could be Melee.  The arms could be removed for White Die damage.



Size Comparison.  It's a little larger than a Chub.

The Questions:
Is it below, at, or above $10 per Frame?  Below.  (+5)
Is it a good size to use in a game?  Yes.  A bit bigger than a Chub.  (+5)
How many parts does it have to represent systems?  Five.  (+5)
Does it have enough parts you can remove to represent White Dice damage? Yes. (+5)
Score: +20 (A+).  Let's be honest, the fact that this is a blind box really kills the utility of this a source of Frames for MFZ:RA.  Which realistically kills the score.  On the other hand it looks cool, and it's a reasonable size and price.
