Buffaloman is a character in the Kinnikuman series. He is a Devil that changes and becomes friends with Kinnikuman. For more information about him, check out his fandom wiki page here.
The build for Buffaloman begins with the head. I was able to lay the build on my nanoblock pad. The head goes up in simple layers, which are fairly straightforward. I needed to be careful to get the round connected properly because, in a few places, the bricks hang on by a single brick. I also noticed that the color of the gold brown bricks looked very different in the direction and in real life.
The next section is to build the torso and arms. The beginning of the torso is a simple 3 layers of bricks. Once again, I built the layers on my nanoblock pad. Then I built the arms and started to build the torso in my hands since one of the arms is at an angle. After adding the arms, I added the top layer, mostly flat pieces. The round piece in the center isn’t squared, which I didn’t notice at first.
The torso’s last step is adding the hands to the build. The hands are straightforward.
Once the hands are attached, it’s time to attach the head. I hadn’t noticed originally that the head is at an angle. This angle is created by having the 2×2 round piece at an angle. I needed to rotate the piece to attach the head, which was an easy update to make.
The next step was to create the hips, legs, and feet.
Buffaloman’s right leg is bent down so he rests on his toes and spikes. The leg is a stack of black bricks with some additional details. The foot is straightforward and connected to the base of the black bricks.
The final step of the right leg is to begin building the hips. The hips are very fragile and are tricky to line up.
Buffaloman is putting his weight on the base of the left foot. The left leg begins with a stack of black bricks. The thighs are added to the black bricks.
The left leg is attached to the right leg, which finishes the hips.
The final step is to connect the torso to the hips.
Things I liked:
- How the head is positioned to be tilted instead of straight on
Things I didn’t like:
- Getting the build to stand on its own is tricky, and any movement to the table causes the build to move
