This kit was re-released at NBCC_012B.
This build is broken up into 2 parts. There is the head and the body.
The head begins by laying the base bricks out. I used my nanoblock pad.
The head is built in straightforward layers. In the layers, I added the mouth, cheeks, and large eyes.
Next, I closed up the head.
To finish the head, I needed to add the ears. There aren’t directions for how to build the ears, which was disappointing. I was able to figure out how to build the ears by counting studs to figure out that the base layer was 3 long.
To build the body, I began by laying out the feet on the baseplate.
I added layers of bricks to create the body. I added his tail and arms.
The final step is to connect the head to the body. There are a couple of diagrams to show how to connect the head.

The build begins with creating the base layers. Creating the base layers takes 5 steps.
Then I began adding layers to create the head. I added eyes and ears.
After building the face, I began to focus on the hair. The hair went up in layers. The head closed up. Then I added hair details to the side of the face.
Next, I began to work on the body. The body was a simple 7 layers of blue, white, and pink.
Next, I built the arms and attached them to the body. I found it a bit tricky to connect the first arm because the directions weren’t clear at a glance.
Then I attached the head to the body.
Next I built the legs and attached them.
Finally, I built the stand to hold her up and attached it to the base of the body.

I began the build by laying the foundation of the head out on my nanoblock pad. This is the bottom of My Melody’s signature hood, so the bricks are pink.
Then I built the head up in layers. I added the face to the front of the build and built up the back of the hood. I added the nose and very large eyes.
After 5 layers to make the face, the bricks changed to all pink to round off and close up the head.
The last step of the head is to add My Melody’s ears.
I then started to work on the body.
I laid the feet out on the baseplate.
I then built the body up in layers. I was a bit annoyed that the leg is only 1 brick thick, which would make attaching the head more difficult.
The final step is to attach the head to the body. The head is massive compared to the body, so it was a bit tricky.

The build begins with the head. It begins by taking 2 steps to create the foundation of the head.
The head goes up in layers, adding the eyes, ears, and mask. In addition, I added the wings on the back of the mask.
From there, I closed up the head with a layer of hair and continued to build up the hair.
Next, I started to work on the body. This was a bit tricky because the green on the printed instructions looked black, so I wasn’t sure when to use which color.
Next, I built both of the hands. Connecting them to the body was a bit difficult because the fit was so tight.
Then I connected the head to the body.
Then I built the feet and connected them.
The last step was to build the powers coming off his hands and to attach them to the build. I like that they incorporated the move, and it allows for it to feel like there is action in the build.

The build begins by creating the base layers for the head. It takes 3 steps to create the base.
I built the head in layers. I added the eyes and hair at the back of the head.
Then I focused on the hair and built it up. I had problems following a couple of steps because I was going too fast. As I built the head, there were a lot of spikes to create Izuku’s spiky hair.
After building the head, I started to work on the body. The body was small and straightforward.
Next, I built the hands. One was very straightforward. The other was a bit trickier because of the clear green bricks. I’m not sure what the green bricks are supposed to represent.
Next, I built and added the legs.
Finally, I connected the head to the body.
Then I built the stand using clear bricks.
The last step was to connect Izuku to the stand.

This build has 3 sections. There is the head, body, and baseplate.
I began working on the head by laying the base layer out on my nanoblock pad.
I built up the head in straightforward layers. Eventually, I closed up the head.
Next, I added the ears to the head.
At this point, if I were going to add the sticker for the face, I would have. I didn’t add the sticker because it would have made the kit impossible to store in the package.
Next, I built the body. First, I laid the base layer out on my nanoblock pad.
Next, I built the body up in layers.
The final section to build was the baseplate with feet. I added the feet to the baseplate.
The final step is to connect all 3 sections. This was fairly straightforward because there were diagrams showing how to connect everything.

I began by laying the base layers out on my nanoblock pad. It took 3 steps to complete the base.
I built the body up in layers. I had a hard time lining up the bricks because I wasn’t sure if there was any and how much overhang there should be. The layers are also built in the 4 arms.
On the body, I built the head. This included the eyes and the head decoration. I didn’t line up the head decoration properly the first time, so I had to redo it a couple of times.
Next, I built the hips. These were very straightforward. I attached the hips to the body.
Next, I built the hands. I was careful to make sure they lined up and had the thumbs sticking out properly.
The final step was to build and attach the legs. I needed to move the legs around to get the finished build to stand.

I began this build by laying the foundation of the head out on my nanoblock pad.
I built the head up in layers. I added the nose and the eyes.
I built the head up a few more layers to close up the head and create the ears.
The final step of the head was to add the fur in the front of Charmmy Kitty and her bow.
Next, I began to work on the body. I laid the foundation on the baseplate.
I built the body up in layers. I like how the body creates a slope to make it appear that Charmmy Kitty is sitting like a cat would.
The final step was to attach the head to the body.
