Lapras 3/4 front view

Lapras is a water-type Pokemon generation 1. People are known to ride Lapras in the Anime and you can ride it in the game if the Pokemon knows surf.

This was the first set I got that you build in 2 distinct pieces, the head and the body. The head is a fairly straightforward build, basically building up a rectangle. The body is larger where even the bottom has a gap in it. I had a more challenging time getting the shell built because of the white lines between bricks in the directions.

Overall I enjoyed the build and the end result. Having the 2 different builds allowed a completely different shape for the head from the body.

Things I liked:

  • Two smaller builds that combine to one build

Things I didn’t like:

  • In the video games the shell is grey not dark

There is a second version of this build that was released as NBPM_056 known as Crystal Lapras.
