As of this posting, nanoblock has released kits for all 9 eeveelutions. The builds have gotten more detailed as time has passed. I find that all the kits are recognizable for the pokemon they are supposed to be. Espeon is the Psychic-type of eeveelution from generation 2. Umbreon is black, with yellow details on its legs, ears, and tail. Unlike earlier builds, Espeon appears to be standing.
Espeon is an average nanoblock build where you start with a base and build up to create a body. Once you build the body, you make a head. The head’s trickiest part is getting the ears just right. The directions are pretty straightforward for building them, but it can be tricky. Then you need to attach the tail. I had difficulty lining up all the squares in the tail perfectly and wish they had used round bricks.
Overall I like the Espeon build. I think that the lavender bricks are close to the actual color.
Things I liked:
- The color that they used
Things I didn’t like:
- wish they used round bricks for the tail
