Lucario is one of the most popular fighting pokemon. I’m pretty sure it’s been in the regional Pokedex of every generation 4. At least, it feels like that is the situation.
The build for Lucario is very detailed, with over 20 steps. Generally, the number of steps on a pokemon, in my experience, is 10-15 steps. Lucario is tall, so it’s building up the height. There is a lot of detail in the head to create the face.
I was surprised to learn that nanoblock was making Lucario. He has a very trim body, basically an hourglass, in the game and I imagined it would not translate into blocks well. Sadly, in this case, the body is much thicker than it is in the games. I also noticed that Lucario’s tail is heavy and knocks the model off balance. I put mine on a base so that it can stand up safely.
Things I liked:
- The amount of detail in the build overall
Things I didn’t like:
- He didn’t stand, so needed a base plate
- Attaching his head was really finicky
