Difficulty Rating: 2/5
Tengen Uzui used to be a member of the Demon Slayer Corps in the Demon Slayer Anime. For more information about him, check out the fandom wiki page. For more information about the nanoblock builds, check out my collections page for links to other reviews.
This nanoblock build is split into 2 parts. There is the head and the body.
The build begins with a layer of skin-tone brick on the base. I build the head on my nanoblock pad. The head goes up in layers. each layer is different between the eyes, hair, and face markings. I was very confused by the face marking while I was building them because they don’t really look like the character in the photo on the box.
Once the main head section is built, it’s time to add the details. Tengen Uzui has his hair up in the back, so you add the hair in the back. You also add blue trails that are coming off his headband. The last detail in the head is to add the headband.
After finishing the head, it’s time to move on to the body.
The body begins with a white brick that goes up in layers. After a few layers, the main torso is completed.
The next step is to build and add the arms. The arms are very straightforward. Then you attach the head. At this point, the build won’t be able to stand on its own until you add the clear base at the end.
Then, you build and create the legs. I missed that the large round brick was centered on the smaller round brick, so I needed to fix that later. After adding the hips, the legs were easy to attach.
The next step is to build and attach Tengen Uzui’s sword. The swords are very straightforward to build and are easy to attach to the build.
The final step is to build the base of clear bricks. This allows the build to stand on its own.
Things I liked:
- The double sword on his back is unique compared to the original build
Things I didn’t like:
- The mark around his eye doesn’t really look like the mark from the anime
