Charizard is the most popular final evolution of the generation 1 starter Charmander. Even when the other gen. 1 Pokemon haven’t been available in the game, this Pokemon is still there. When mega evolution was introduced in generation 6, Charizard was one of 2 pokemon to get a Pokemon X and a Pokemon Y form.

Charizard is broken down into 5 builds, the body, 2 wings, the head, and tail flame. The body is straightforward and made up of orange and tan bricks. Then there are 2 wings; they are the same but mirrored. I had the most challenging time getting the wings right for some reason. I think my husband ended up fixing the wings. The head was another straightforward, and there are excellent directions for where to attach the head. I love the way that nanoblock uses transparent blocks for the flame tails on the Charmander family.

I would describe the Charizard build as frustrating. I found the wings impossible to put together and he ended up needing a base because it was tippy.
