Unboxing Blokees Naruto Shippuden Surprise Box Wave 1: What’s Inside?

Naruto Shippuden ran from 2007 to 2017 and became one of the defining anime series of its era. The characters, arcs, and signature moments are still actively collected in 2026 — long after the series ended. Series background at Naruto Fandom — Naruto Shippuden.

The Blokees Naruto Shippuden Galaxy Version (GV) series is the Surprise Box format entry into that licensed lineup. Each pack at $8.99 contains one character kit, randomly selected from a named three-pack wave. You know the full roster. You don’t know which one you’ll open. Full Naruto lineup at Naruto Toys.

This guide covers what the GV Wave 1 Surprise Box format is, who each pack suits, and how to start a display from a single $8.99 purchase.

What Is the Naruto Shippuden GV Surprise Box?

The Galaxy Version (GV) series from Blokees is the officially licensed Naruto Shippuden Surprise Box format. Each sealed pack contains one randomly selected character kit from the confirmed wave lineup. The full Naruto Shippuden GV wave includes three named kits.

How the format works

• One kit per pack  — each purchase contains a single character. The selection is random at packaging.
• Full roster visible  — the wave lineup is public. You know which three characters are possible; you don’t know which one is in your specific pack.
• Three-pack wave  — Wave 1 contains GV01, GV02, and GV03. All three use the same official Naruto Shippuden licensing.
• Surprise Box entry price  — $8.99 per pack. The most accessible Naruto Shippuden entry in the licensed Blokees lineup.
• Ages 9+  — the age recommendation is confirmed on the official product page.

How it differs from the Champion Class format

The GV Surprise Box format is the random-selection entry. The Naruto Champion Class series is the open-selection format — you pick the exact character at $19.99 each. GV is lower price, random character. Champion Class is known character, higher tier.

If you have a specific character in mind, the Champion Class is the right format. If you want a casual first-purchase or a gift without needing to know the recipient’s favorite, GV is the natural starting point.

Wave 1 Lineup: The Three GV Kits

Wave 1 includes three officially named Naruto Shippuden kits. All three are confirmed on the official product pages.

Pack	Official name	Series theme	Ages
GV01	Naruto Shippuden GV01 Ultimate Bond	Partnership and bond — Naruto’s defining relationship theme.	9 YEARS+
GV02	Naruto Shippuden GV02 The Place The Leaves Dance	Hidden Leaf Village — the home and village identity of the series.	9 YEARS+
GV03	Naruto Shippuden GV03 Heart of a Ninja	Core shinobi spirit — the values that define the Naruto Shippuden arc.	9 YEARS+

All three are confirmed on official Blokees product pages. The price is $8.99 per pack. Specs beyond these confirmed data points are not included here — check the official pages for full details.

The Unboxing Experience

A Surprise Box unboxing has a specific rhythm. It’s different from buying an open-selection kit. Here’s what to expect from the GV format.

Before you open

• Confirmed roster  — you already know all three possible characters. The wave lineup is public information before purchase.
• The question  — the suspense is which of the three you’ll receive, not whether you’ll like the lineup. The entire wave is confirmed Naruto Shippuden licensed kits.
• No duplication issue for solo buyers  — three packs in the wave. If you buy one, you get one of three. If you buy all three, you have the complete wave — though not guaranteed in order.

Opening the pack

• Sealed packaging  — the pack is sealed at the factory. The character selection is fixed at packaging, not at purchase.
• What’s inside  — one officially licensed Naruto Shippuden character kit from the wave lineup. Exact contents vary by character — check the specific product page before purchase if exact contents matter to you.
• No tools needed  — GV kits are designed for straightforward setup. Follow the included instructions.

Who Is This Wave For?

Three different collector types get the most out of GV Wave 1. The format suits each of them differently.

Collector type	Why GV Wave 1 fits	What to do next
The casual starter	$8.99 entry with no commitment to a specific character. Any Naruto Shippuden character from the wave is welcome on the desk.	Buy a second GV pack. Three characters make a complete wave display.
The gift buyer	You don’t need to know the recipient’s specific favorite character. All three are legitimate Shippuden-era Naruto kits.	Pair with a Champion Class kit if you know the recipient’s favorite character.
The wave collector	You want all three GV kits as a complete Wave 1 display. The three-kit wave reads as a story wall.	Buy all three. Display in sequence left to right as a themed Shippuden shelf section.
The series completist	GV is the accessible entry into a broader Naruto licensed lineup that also includes Champion Class and Legend Edition tiers.	Start with GV, then move to Champion Class at $19.99 for specific rivalry or team display goals.

The Three Characters: What Each Represents

Naruto Shippuden ran for 500 episodes and multiple arcs. Each GV kit name draws from a specific thematic element of the series. Character documentation at Wikipedia — Naruto Uzumaki.

GV01 Ultimate Bond

The bond between Naruto Uzumaki and the characters around him is one of the central recurring themes of the Shippuden arc. The “Ultimate Bond” name references the relationship between Naruto and Kurama — the Nine-Tailed Fox sealed within him since birth — which shifted from conflict to genuine partnership across the series.

That relationship defined Naruto’s most significant power increases in Part II. A Surprise Box named after this arc carries specific weight for anyone who followed the series through its later seasons.

GV02 The Place The Leaves Dance

Konohagakure — the Hidden Leaf Village — is the physical and emotional center of the Naruto series. The falling leaves are a recurring visual motif for the village identity, the Will of Fire, and the passing of shinobi values between generations.

The Place The Leaves Dance refers to that location and its meaning within the series. For collectors, it’s the hometown anchor of any Naruto display.

GV03 Heart of a Ninja

The “Heart of a Ninja” theme references the core value system that Naruto Uzumaki embodies across Shippuden — perseverance, protecting people rather than gaining power for its own sake, and the refusal to abandon comrades.

These themes are most explicit in the Pain Arc and the Fourth Shinobi World War arc — the two major climaxes of the Shippuden storyline. This kit name draws from those defining moments.

Displaying GV Wave 1

Three kits from the same wave have a natural display logic. Each name in the wave references a different dimension of the Shippuden series — relationship, place, and spirit.

Three-kit wave display

• Left to right sequence  — place GV03 Heart of a Ninja on the left (the origin / spirit), GV02 The Place The Leaves Dance in the center (the location / home), GV01 Ultimate Bond on the right (the culmination / relationship). This follows the narrative arc direction of the series.
• Uniform spacing  — equal gaps between all three kits. The GV format is designed as a coherent wave, so uniform presentation reads as intentional.
• Elevation variation  — consider placing the center kit (GV02) slightly elevated if your display allows. Village/home as the center anchor communicates the theme clearly.

Single-kit starting display

• One kit, one desk  — a single GV kit works as a standalone desk piece. Each name references a complete concept, not a character fragment. GV01 works independently as well as GV02 or GV03.
• Pair with a Champion Class kit  — a GV Surprise Box at $8.99 pairs naturally with a Champion Class Naruto Uzumaki or Sasuke Uchiha at $19.99 as a two-tier display that shows both the accessible entry and the premium character-specific format.

Verifying Authentic Naruto Shippuden Surprise Box Kits

The Naruto Shippuden IP is one of the most counterfeited in licensed anime collectibles. Before purchasing any Surprise Box with Naruto branding, check these points.

Authentication checklist

• Official IP licensing  — authentic Naruto Shippuden kits carry Pierrot / TV Tokyo licensing on the packaging. Absence of these marks is a red flag.
• Product name accuracy  — the official name on the pack should match the product page name exactly. GV01 is “Naruto Shippuden GV01 Ultimate Bond” — not a variation or translation.
• Retailer verification  — buy from official brand stores or retailers with established track records. Unverified third-party sellers carry authentication risk.
• Price signal  — significantly below-retail pricing on a sealed Surprise Box is a strong indicator of counterfeit goods. Authentic licensed kits maintain consistent retail pricing.
• Paint and print quality  — once opened, authentic kits show clean color application on character details. Counterfeit products typically show color bleed or imprecise feature definition.

What to Add After GV Wave 1

GV Wave 1 is the entry point. The licensed Naruto Shippuden lineup at Blokees goes further from here.

Move to Champion Class for specific characters

The Naruto Champion Class series is the open-selection tier — you pick the specific character at $19.99 each. After a GV Surprise Box, Champion Class is the natural next step if you want Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, Minato Namikaze (Reanimation), or another specific character guaranteed on your display.

Each Champion Class kit is a named character with confirmed accessories. The character is labeled on the package. No randomness.

The premium tier

The Naruto Shippuden Legend Edition 01 Kurama (Nine Tails) is the flagship product in the Blokees Naruto lineup. At $49.99, it’s the highest-tier kit in the series — nine independent poseable tails, a magnetic light-up feature, and a Naruto Uzumaki statue included. A single Kurama behind a three-kit GV wave creates the strongest display in the full lineup.

Conclusion

The Blokees Naruto Shippuden GV Surprise Box Wave 1 is a three-kit series at $8.99 per pack. Each pack is a random selection from GV01 Ultimate Bond, GV02 The Place The Leaves Dance, and GV03 Heart of a Ninja. All three are officially licensed Shippuden-era kits.

For a first Naruto purchase, a casual gift, or the start of a complete wave display, the GV series is the accessible entry point into a lineup that scales through Champion Class to the Legend Edition premium tier.

FAQs

What is the Naruto Shippuden GV Surprise Box?

The Naruto Shippuden Galaxy Version (GV) is the Surprise Box format in the official Blokees Naruto licensed lineup. Each sealed pack contains one randomly selected character kit from the wave roster. Wave 1 includes three named kits: GV01 Ultimate Bond, GV02 The Place The Leaves Dance, and GV03 Heart of a Ninja.

It’s designed for collectors who want a casual entry into the series without committing to a specific character, or for gift buyers who want a licensed Naruto collectible without knowing the recipient’s exact preference.

How much does each GV Surprise Box cost?

$8.99 per pack, ages 9+, confirmed on the official product pages. This is the most accessible price point in the licensed Blokees Naruto lineup.

The next tier is the Naruto Champion Class at $19.99 per kit (open selection, named character). The Legend Edition Kurama is $49.99.

Can I choose which GV character I get?

No. The GV format is Surprise Box — one randomly selected character per pack from the wave roster. You know all three possible characters before purchasing, but the specific one in your pack is determined at packaging.

If you want a specific named character guaranteed, the Naruto Champion Class series (open selection) is the correct format. Each Champion Class kit is labeled with the specific character before purchase.

How many kits are in GV Wave 1?

Three. GV01 Ultimate Bond, GV02 The Place The Leaves Dance, and GV03 Heart of a Ninja. Each is available as a separate Surprise Box purchase.

To complete the full Wave 1 display, you need all three. Purchasing three packs does not guarantee one of each — the selection is random per pack.

Is the GV Surprise Box a good gift for Naruto fans?

Yes, for most Naruto fans. All three Wave 1 kits reference named Shippuden-era themes. Any fan of the Part II series will connect with GV01, GV02, or GV03.

The exception is a fan who has a very specific favorite character they’d want. In that case, a Champion Class kit for their specific character is a more targeted gift. For casual fans or when you’re unsure of the specific preference, GV is the right call.

How do I verify a Naruto Shippuden Surprise Box is authentic?

Check the packaging for the official IP licensing mark (Pierrot / TV Tokyo for Naruto Shippuden). Verify that the product name matches the official Blokees product page name exactly.

Avoid significantly below-retail pricing from unverified sellers. Authentic licensed kits maintain consistent retail pricing. Purchase from the official brand store to eliminate authentication risk entirely.

What’s the recommended age for GV kits?

Ages 9+, confirmed on the official product pages. Follow the safety warnings on the packaging.

For younger children, review the packaging warning labels directly before purchase. The official age recommendation is the only guidance to follow.

What do I add after GV Wave 1?

The Naruto Champion Class series is the natural next step. Each kit is a named specific character at $19.99 each — Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, Minato Namikaze (Reanimation), and others. Open selection means no randomness. Lineup at Naruto Shippuden GV for the full GV series first.

After the GV and Champion Class tiers, the Legend Edition Kurama Nine Tails at $49.99 is the flagship display addition. Nine tails, magnetic light-up feature, and the most visual impact in the complete lineup.

Are there other Naruto Shippuden Surprise Box waves at Blokees?

The current confirmed lineup includes GV01, GV02, and GV03 as Wave 1. For updated wave information, check the official Blokees Naruto Shippuden GV collection page — new waves are listed there as released.

Don’t rely on third-party listings for wave information. The official product page is the only verified source for confirmed wave contents and release information.
