Gyomei Himejima is 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 base layer is made up of skin tone. I laid the base layer out on my nanoblock pad. After the first couple of layers, I built the rest of the head in my hands.
The head goes up in straightforward layers. The hair on the back of his head uses dark grey bricks and is topped off with black hair on the top of the head.
In the step following putting in the white headband, several bricks have fewer studs on top than the size on the bottom. (For example, space for 2 studs on the bottom and 1 stud on top). Lining up these bricks was tricky but doable.
The head is finished off by adding the spikes to the center of the hair and Gyomei Himejima’s eyes.
After finishing the head, it’s time to move on to the body.
I began the body by laying the bricks out on my nanoblock pad. The body goes up in straightforward layers to create the main core of the body.
The next step is to create the hands which are attached to the front of the build. The next layers add his beads and finish the base of the neck. Then the hands are added to the front of the build.
Next, I flipped over the build and added the bottom of the coat and hips. Then I added the clear bricks that help to hold up the build. Next, I added the very straightforward legs, which are just 4 brick stacks.
The final step is to connect the head to the body. It is a bit tricky to tell where exactly the head goes on the body but it is possible to figure out by looking and counting carefully.
Things I liked:
- I really like that his hands are out in front of him. It’s unique for the demon slayer builds.
Things I didn’t like:
- The white on the back of the build seems to be a bit random, but you can’t see it from the front of the box
