Number: NBCC_105

Number of Pieces: 150

Difficulty Rating: 1/5

This build has 2 sections. There is the Pac-Man and the Cherry.

I began with Pac-Man. It is built in 2 segments the base and the top.

I began by laying the foundation of the base out on my nanoblock pad.

I built the base up in layers using mostly yellow bricks. I added black to the bottom of the mouth.

Then I flipped the base over and added bricks on the bottom to round out the sphere.

Next I started to work on the top. I was a bit confused about this being a new section and how to build it because the previous layer is so small.

I built the top with layers of black and yellow until I reached an all-yellow layer to close the top of the mouth.

Then I added the eyes and closed and rounded out the head.

Then I connected the base and the top to create and finished Pac-Man. I like how he is shaped like a sphere, even though his mouth is open.

The final section to build was the cherry. I began by laying the base layer out on my nanoblock pad.

I then added 2 more layers to create the body of the cherry. Then I added the top of the cherry to round it out.

Next, I skipped a couple of steps and added the bottom of the cherry to round out the sphere.

The final step was to connect the stem that connects the cherry.

Things I liked:

I like that even though his mouth is open, Pac-Man has an open mouth

Things I didn’t like:

I don’t like how the final cherry looks

This post is a review of the nanoblock Tokage build. Tokage is part of the nanoblock Character collection. Wondering what else is part of the Character collection? Click here for a list.

Number: NBCC_073

Number of Pieces: 70

Difficulty Rating: 1/5

This is a keychain kit. It comes with glue, a piece to attach the build to a keyring, and a keychain.

Tokage is a very straightforward build.

I began by laying the base layer of bricks, but because the bricks were lined up, I couldn’t use my nanoblock pad.

I built the character up in layers. In these layers, I added the arms and a flat surface to put the face sticker. I also added the blue spikes on the back, which I was surprised by.

Finally, I added the face sticker.

The final step was to attach the key ring holder. I’m not sure where it is supposed to be attached, so I attached it to Neko’s head.

Things I liked:

I like that the kit came with everything to turn it into a keychain

Things I didn’t like:

There isn’t a clear instruction as to where to attach the keyring holder
