Mega Blastoise is the mega evolution of Blastoise. This build is similar in size to the original Blastoise build. Mega Blastoise looks like a normal Blastoise, except its cannons are on its hands and the center of the back.
The build begins by creating the base layers of cream and blue. Each section is built separately and connected together to create a complete base.
The next several steps are building the body in layers. It was a bit tricky because the base and layers were flexible for the first several steps, so the build kept sliding apart. After a few layers, there was enough overlap, so the build was much more solid.
The next step is to build the arm cannons. The cannons are straightforward and attached easily. The next step is to lock the arms in place and begin working on the head.
The main section of the build is completed in layers. Once you start working on the head, the build will tip over if you set the build down.
The next step is to build the cannon on Mega Blastoise’s back. The cannon is fairly straightforward but flexible, so it is tricky to line up in the first couple of steps.
The final step is to finish off the feet. This step is by far the hardest of the build. It is hard to see where exactly you need to put the bricks. I could figure it out by looking at the box and the instructions.
Things I liked:
- I really like that the side is pretty close to the original Blastoise
- I like the amount of detail in the build overall
Things I didn’t like:
- How hard the last step is to figure out
