Difficulty Rating: 1
This build has 2 distinct sections. There is the head and the body.
I began work on the head, laying the foundation out on my nanoblock pad.
The head went up in straightforward layers. I added the large eyes, nose, and whiskers.
Eventually, I closed up the head, then I added the ears and her bow.
Then I began working on the body. I added Hello Kitty’s feet to the baseplate.
I built the body up in layers to complete it.
The final step was to attach the head to the body. There was a diagram showing how to line up the head.
Things I liked:
I like how big Hello Kitty’s eyes are
Things I didn’t like:
I don’t like that the body is so thin that it collapsed when I attached the head

Difficulty Rating: 2/5
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

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.
Things I liked:
I like how the ears have an extra brick to round them off
Things I didn’t like:
I hate stickers, especially for things that are key, such as faces

Number: NBCC_111
Number of Pieces: 160
Difficulty Rating: 2/5
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.
Things I liked:
I like that all his fists have thumbs, which is a small detail but really adds to the finished build
Things I didn’t like:
I feel that the build is super simplistic compared to the newer builds

Number: NBCC_008
Number of Pieces: 100
Difficulty Rating: 1
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.
Things I liked:
I like how the body curves to create the idea that the cat is sitting like a cat
Things I didn’t like:
I don’t like how it appears the bricks may have yellowed over time. I did get this kit new, but I think it looks a bit yellow

Number: NBPM_110
Number of Pieces: 200
Difficulty Rating: 2/5
Jigglypuff is basically a sphere with the details sticking off the sphere.
I began by laying the base layers out on my nanoblock pad. It took 3 steps to create the entire base.
Then I built out the sphere by adding to the outer layers of the sphere. In the layers, I added the mouth and eyes.
After several layers, I began to close up the sphere. I added the ears and the curl.
After finishing the ears, I flipped the build over and added the feet. It was hard to figure out where to place the feet so that the build would match the box.
Things I liked:
I really like that they included Jigglypuff’s curl and how it turns out
Things I didn’t like:
I don’t like how uneven the eyes are in the finished build when looking from an angle

Number: NBCC_007
Number of Pieces: 110
Difficulty Rating: 1
I began the build by laying the bricks for the foundation of the head on my nanoblock pad. This layer included Kuromi’s nose.
I then build the head up in layers. I added the eyes and the rest of the face, including the eyes and skull on her hood.
I then added some layers of black to finish and close up the head.
Next, I added her ears.
Then I flipped the head over and added the bottom of the face and hood.
Then I started working on the body. I laid the bricks out on the baseplate.
Next, I built the body up in straightforward layers.
The final step is to connect the head to the body.
Things I liked:
I like the detail of the collar added to the neck of the build
Things I didn’t like:
I didn’t like putting the bricks in the build upside down. I always find it difficult to tell which and where to use the bricks

Difficulty Rating: 4/5
This is a new Mega Charizard Y model. The review for the original kit is here.
The kit is built by building the body as a foundation, then the arms, tail, head, and wings are built separately and then attached.
I began by laying the base layer out. I couldn’t use my nanoblock pad because the socket joints meant that things wouldn’t lie flat.
Next, I built the foundation of the 2 legs. These were straightforward. I attached the base legs to the body. The legs were posable.
I built the body and legs up in layers. I had to watch the slanty pieces because both kinds were used in the body. Over the steps, I built the stomach panel and the sides and back.
Next, I built the feet and attached them to the body.
Then I built the arms and attached them one at a time.
The next major segment was the tail. I built each segment, which had clear directions. I feel that the flame doesn’t quite look like the flame from the box, which is disappointing. After connecting the tail segments, I attached the tail to the body.
Next, I built the head. I really like the amount of detail in the head. After building the head, I built the neck and attached the entire thing to the body.
The final step was to build the wings. These were by far the most complicated part of the build. There were several points where I had to be super careful to make things right when flipped over. Finally, I attached the wings to the body
Things I liked:
I like that the build wasn’t tippy, as I added segments onto the build, so I didn’t have to figure out how to place it each time I added a segment.
Things I didn’t like:
I feel that the flame I got from following the instructions didn’t match the one on the box

Number: NBCC_006
Number of Pieces: 80
Difficulty Rating: 1
I began by laying the bricks for the foundation out on my nanoblock pad.
The head went up in layers to create the head and face. I added the cheeks, mouth, and eyes.
The next step is to add the detail to the head.
The final step of the head is to add Cinnamoroll’s ears.
Next, I began the body by laying the body out on the baseplate.
The body went up in layers. It was a bit tricky to line up the bricks to create the body because of tracing through the arrows.
The final step is to connect the head to the body.
Things I liked:
I like the rounded bricks for the eyes and mouth
Things I didn’t like:
I found the instructions to build the body a bit confusing

Difficulty Rating: 4/5
This is a new Mega Charizard Y model. The review for the original kit is here.
The kit is built by building the body as a foundation, then the arms, tail, head, and wings are built separately and then attached to a panel on the back.
I began by laying the base layer out.
Next, I built the foundation of the 2 legs. These were straightforward. I attached the base legs to the body. The legs were posable.
I built the body and legs up in layers. I had to watch the slanty pieces because both kinds were used in the body. Over the steps, I built the stomach panel and the sides and back.
Next, I built the feet and attached them to the body.
Then I built the arms and attached them one at a time.
The next major segment was the tail. I built each segment, which had clear directions. The tail is built in such a way that it isn’t very posable.
Next, I built the center panel that the wings would connect to and connected that to the body.
Next, I built each of the wings. Most of the wing was flat with a small segment that could be rounded around to create a bit of movement. The base of the wing was attached to the center panel and cannot be posed.
Finally, I built the head. I didn’t catch that so much was made with the clear blue bricks, so I made the mistake and used solid bricks, which I fixed after I had started. I do like the amount of detail in the head, considering how small it is compared to the rest of the build.
Things I liked:
I like how much detail is in the head for how small it is
Things I didn’t like:
I don’t like that the build isn’t as posable and the Mega Charizard Y RS
