Who else could be the first nanoblock Pokemon other than the famous Pikachu? Everybody knows him on sight and is generally part of any pilot for any kind of merchandise. I picked up my kit at a local toy shop and was super excited to build him. I could tell from the picture that it was closer to the classic fat Pikachu from the original Pokemon compared to the current more trimmed form.
Overall the build was pretty straightforward because there were apparent color cuts between the yellow body, the brown of his stripes, and the bright red for his cheeks. The two most challenging things were his ears and tail, but even those weren’t too bad. These had breakout very detailed directions.
Pikachu seems to defy physics a little, as he constantly slopes forward between the bottom layer to the top of his head.
Things I liked:
- It’s like a fat pikachu
Things I didn’t like:
- I think his nose looks a little odd but I’m not sure what color would have been better knowing what colors exist.
