How to Choose Your First TNT SPACE Character — or Pick One as a Gift

TNT SPACE has several original characters with very different personalities, visual styles and moods. If you're new to the brand, the easiest place to start is usually with the character or series that best matches your taste.

There is no single “best” TNT SPACE character to collect. DORA, Rayan, Zoraa, ANMOO, Liita and DUDOO each offer a different style and personality.

The same applies when choosing a gift. Rather than guessing which character is most popular, it is more useful to consider the recipient's existing collection, visual preferences and the type of gift you want to give.

If you're still getting to know the brand, our What Is TNT SPACE? A Guide to the Brand and Its Characters provides a broader introduction to TNT SPACE and its characters.

Start With the Style You Like

A simple way to narrow down your choice is to start with the personality or visual style that appeals to you most.

This is not a rule, and your favourite series may ultimately matter more than the character itself. Think of the table as a starting point rather than a test you need to follow.

Choose DORA If You Like Confidence and Individuality

DORA is built around confidence, courage and individuality. If you prefer characters with a clear attitude and stronger visual presence, she can be a natural place to start.

Different DORA series explore different outfits and themes while keeping her recognisable sense of confidence and self-expression.

Choose Rayan If You Prefer a Calm and Mysterious Style

Rayan has a calmer, more reserved personality. He may appear distant or mysterious at first, but his character is also curious, thoughtful and caring towards those close to him.

If you prefer a more understated character, Rayan may appeal to you. His individual series can still vary significantly in theme and colour, so it is worth exploring the different releases rather than expecting every Rayan series to have the same mood.

Choose Zoraa If You Like Cute and Playful Designs

Zoraa combines a cute appearance with a playful and mischievous personality. Her distinctive little canines and fierce-yet-cute expression make her easy to recognise across different series.

If you like characters that feel light-hearted, expressive and slightly mischievous rather than simply sweet, Zoraa may be a good character to explore first.

Choose ANMOO If You Prefer Gentle and Comforting Characters

ANMOO has a softer and more caring personality, with themes centred around listening, understanding feelings and sharing quiet everyday moments.

If you prefer characters with a gentle atmosphere and a stronger sense of comfort or companionship, ANMOO may suit your taste.

Choose Liita If You Love Dreamy and Fairytale-Inspired Designs

Liita is associated with dreams, fairytales and the pure, joyful part of ourselves that can remain even as we grow up.

Her character may appeal particularly to collectors who prefer softer, more whimsical or fantasy-inspired designs.

Choose DUDOO If You Like Cheerful and Playful Worlds

DUDOO centres on a group of curious, cheerful and playful friends living in a fantastical island world.

If you enjoy light-hearted designs and the idea of collecting a cast of characters rather than following one central figure, DUDOO may be worth exploring.

Another Way to Start: Character Starter Packs

If you already know which character you like, a character-based Starter Pack can be a simple way to explore several series at once.

Blazing Star currently offers Starter Packs for Rayan, DORA and Zoraa, each combining selected blind boxes from different series featuring the same character.

This can be useful if you like a character but are not yet sure which individual series you want to focus on. It also lets you compare how the same character is interpreted through different themes, outfits and visual styles.

You can explore the Rayan Starter Pack, DORA Starter Pack and Zoraa Starter Pack to see the different combinations available.

You can also browse all available Starter Packs and bundles.

What About Limited Edition Releases?

Some TNT SPACE characters are also available in selected Limited Edition releases.

These can be worth considering if you already know which character you like, prefer a more distinctive display piece, or are choosing a more substantial gift.

Limited Edition products can vary in format, size and design, so it is best to check the individual product details rather than assuming they follow the same structure as a blind box series.

Current options include the DORA Devil Sweetheart Limited Edition Figurine and the Rayan Crush Spark Limited Edition Figurine.

You can also explore all Limited Edition releases.

Character First or Series First?

You do not have to choose a favourite TNT SPACE character before buying your first blind box.

Some collectors start with a character. They may like Rayan, for example, and then explore different Rayan series over time.

Others start with a particular series because they like its colours, theme, outfits or overall design, even if they have not yet developed a favourite character.

Both approaches are valid. If one particular series immediately stands out to you, there is no reason to ignore it simply because you have not decided which character you want to collect long term.

Think About How You Want to Collect

Your preferred collecting style can also help narrow down your choice.

You might prefer to follow one favourite character across different series, collect complete series regardless of character, or simply choose individual figures and releases that you particularly like.

Some collectors enjoy having a visually consistent display centred around one character. Others prefer mixing DORA, Rayan, Zoraa and other TNT SPACE characters together.

If display space is limited, focusing on one character or choosing only your favourite individual releases may also be easier to manage than trying to complete every series.

There is no need to commit to one method from the beginning. Your collection can change as your interests and preferences change.

Choosing a TNT SPACE Character for Someone Else

Choosing for someone else is slightly different because the goal is not to match your own preferences.

If possible, start by checking whether they already collect a particular TNT SPACE character. If they do, choosing another series featuring the same character is often a more natural option than choosing a completely different character.

It is also worth checking whether they already own the series or product you are considering, particularly if you are thinking about a Full Set, Starter Pack or Limited Edition release.

If they are new to TNT SPACE, think about the visual styles they normally enjoy:

• Bold and confident: DORA
• Calm and understated: Rayan
• Cute and playful: Zoraa
• Gentle and comforting: ANMOO
• Dreamy and whimsical: Liita
• Cheerful and playful group designs: DUDOO

You do not need to match a character to the recipient's gender or age based on stereotypes. Personal taste is a much more useful guide.

If you already know their favourite TNT SPACE character, a character-based Starter Pack can be a useful option when you want to give them several series rather than choosing one at random.

A Limited Edition release may also suit someone who already likes a particular character or would appreciate a more distinctive display piece.

Single Box, Starter Pack, Full Set or Limited Edition for a Gift?

Once you have chosen a character or series, the next decision is the product format.

A Single Box keeps the gift simple and preserves the surprise of opening a blind box.

A character-based Starter Pack sits between a Single Box and a Full Set: rather than focusing on one complete series, it introduces several series featuring the same character.

A Full Set is more focused on one particular series and may suit someone who already knows they like that release.

A Limited Edition release may be a better fit when the focus is on a particular character or display piece rather than the blind box experience itself.

If you're unfamiliar with the differences between Single Boxes and Full Sets, our Beginner's Guide to Blind Boxes explains the formats and how secret figures work in more detail.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which TNT SPACE character should I start with?

Start with the character or series whose personality and visual style appeal to you most. DORA, Rayan, Zoraa, ANMOO, Liita and DUDOO each offer different moods and design directions, so there is no single correct starting point.

Is DORA, Rayan or Zoraa better for beginners?

None is inherently better for beginners. DORA may appeal to people who like confident and expressive characters, Rayan to those who prefer calmer and more mysterious designs, and Zoraa to collectors who enjoy cute and playful styles.

Should I choose a character or a series first?

Either approach works. You can follow one favourite character across different releases, or simply start with a series whose theme, colours and designs appeal to you.

What is a TNT SPACE Starter Pack?

A character-based Starter Pack combines selected blind boxes from different series featuring the same TNT SPACE character. It can be a useful way to explore several series if you already know which character you like.

Should I choose a Limited Edition as a gift?

A Limited Edition can be a good option if you already know the recipient likes that character or design. Because Limited Edition products can differ in format and size, check the individual product details before choosing one as a gift.

Which TNT SPACE character makes a good gift?

The better match depends on the recipient's preferences and existing collection. If they already collect one character, choosing another series, a Starter Pack or a suitable Limited Edition featuring that character can be a natural option.

Is a Single Box, Starter Pack, Full Set or Limited Edition better for a gift?

It depends on the recipient and the type of gift. A Single Box works well as a smaller surprise, a Starter Pack can suit someone with a favourite character, a Full Set may suit someone who already likes one specific series, and a Limited Edition may suit someone looking for a more distinctive display piece.

Can I collect more than one TNT SPACE character?

Of course. Some collectors focus on one character, while others mix different characters and series based on whichever designs they like most.

Find a TNT SPACE Character You Connect With

There is no single right character to start with and no rule that says you need to stay with one character forever.

You may begin with DORA because you like her confidence, discover a Rayan series whose theme suits your style, or choose Zoraa, ANMOO, Liita or DUDOO simply because one particular design stands out to you.

The best starting point is usually the character or series you genuinely enjoy — whether you're choosing for yourself or picking something for someone else.
