Short answer: these two brands do not compete, so decide by what you want on the shelf: a character or a machine. Want a figure that poses and photographs, buy Blokees. Want something that steers, lifts and takes a weekend, buy Mould King. Getting it wrong costs build time and display space more than money.
Side by side
- Category — Blokees: articulated character model kits. Mould King: large technic-style sets, mainly machinery and vehicles.
- Parts — Blokees: pieces moulded around a character structure. Mould King: pins, beams and gears.
- Typical part count — Blokees Champion and Action kits sit in the low hundreds; the official listings state 103, 188 and 364 pieces across those lines. Mould King part counts vary enormously by model, so check the official listing for the specific set rather than trusting a comparison table.
- Movement — Blokees: independent joints, poseable. Mould King: functional drive, steering, lifting, with some models taking motors.
- Build time — Blokees: one to three hours. Mould King: usually a weekend or more.
- Footprint — Blokees: desktop. Mould King: a shelf layer, and machinery models need depth.
- Reuse — Blokees: low; the kit does not survive disassembly. Mould King: medium to high; technic parts come apart and go into MOCs.
- Age grading — Blokees listings are largely 12+ and 14+. Large Mould King sets are not friendly to young builders.
Blokees part counts and age grades come from official blokees.com listings checked 2026-11-02. Mould King spans too wide a catalogue for any fixed list to stay accurate, so check the official channel for the model you are considering.
Pick by situation
- A character on the desk — Blokees. That is the entire product logic.
- Something that moves mechanically — Mould King. Gears and drive are the point; a figure kit cannot offer it.
- Two or three spare hours — Blokees. A few hundred pieces finishes in one sitting.
- Plan to rebuild it into your own design — Mould King. Technic parts are reusable; character kits are not.
- Gift for a child under 12 — be careful with both. Read the official age grade first.
- No large display space — Blokees. Size is predictable.
How to compare the money fairly
- Do not compare cost per piece. A Blokees kit carries licence cost and character tooling; a Mould King set carries structural volume. Different cost structures produce meaningless ratios.
- Add shipping and duty. Mould King boxes are bigger and heavier, so cross-border shipping is a real share of the price and is usually ignored.
- Price the time. A weekend and an evening are not the same purchase.
One common mistake
"Chinese brick brand" is treated as one category, and it is not. Some brands make universal bricks, some make technic-style machinery, some make character figures. Each has its own part system, buyer and repeat-purchase logic. Putting all three into one price table is the first step to buying the wrong thing.

FAQ
Can Blokees and Mould King parts be mixed?
Not for load-bearing structure. They are different systems. Some interfaces may overlap in theory, but tolerance and grip need to be judged on the actual parts.
Which is better for a child?
Go by the age grade, not the brand. Blokees listings are mostly 12+ to 14+, and large Mould King sets are not friendly to young builders. Check the specific listing.
Which holds value better?
There is no reliable data to answer that. Secondary market behaviour differs between character kits and large technic sets, and the sample is too thin, so no claim is made here.
