Endeavor begins with the creation of his hips. It takes 3 steps to create the base foundation.

The body goes up in layers of blue and clear orange. The build got larger as I went up the chest and added the shoulders.

After building the chest, I began to work on the head. This includes skin and rust colored bricks

In building the head, I added Endeavor’s mustache, eyes, and eyebrows while building the back of the head.

The final touches to the main piece is to add to the flame surrounding Endeavor.

Next, I built his hands and attached them to the body.

Next, I built his legs and feet to finish the build.

Things I liked:

• I like the use of the clear orange brick as the only way to represent Endeavor’s flames

Things I didn’t like:

• Overall, I don’t like this build at all when compared to the other My Hero Academia builds and feel like it doesn’t match the rest of the set

This build begins by taking 2 steps to create the base of the head. Between the hair being split and the scar on his face, the head was very loose and barely connected for quite a bit of the build. I was glad I had my nanoblock pad.

I built the head in layers, adding details to the face and hair. Eventually, there was enough overlap that the head was solid, but it took a good 8 steps to get there.

I kept adding layers to the hair and eventually closed up the head.

Next I built the body. It is fairly small, so it was a bit tricky to connect things properly.

Next, I built the fireball in the left hand. The fireball was clear, and I liked how they used clear bricks to represent the fire.

Then I connected the hand to the body.

Next I built and connected the legs over several steps. It was a bit hard to tell how the final legs would turn out, so I connected the bricks and made adjustments once I could look at the final build.

The last major section of the build is the iceball in his right hand. I had a hard time keeping the entire base layer of the build connected, so I once again had to rely on my nanoblock pad.

Then I connected the right arm to the body. I don’t think the instructions for where to connect it was clear, so I had to guess where the arm connected.

The final step was to connect the head to the body.

Things I liked:

• I like that this build used clear bricks to represent both of his powers

Things I didn’t like:

• A lot of the build felt flimsy while I was building it, which is unusual for nanoblock

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.

Things I liked:

• I like that she is floating since that is her quirk.

Things I didn’t like:

• I had a hard time attaching the first arm and the body because of how the instructions are written.

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.

Things I liked:

• I like that they included his powers in the build

Things I didn’t like:

• I wish the printed colors on the instructions more closely matched the actual brick colors

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.

Things I liked:

• I liked that the build appears to be floating because it is using a stand

Things I didn’t like:

• I’m not sure what the clear green bricks are supposed to be
