This is the second version of Doraemon I have built. The other is the sitting version which you can read the review here.

This build is broken up into the body and the head. There is also a mini build for the cream doughnut.

You begin this nanoblock build by building the body. The body is a pretty straightforward build that goes up in layers. I was worried about the second layer because the ring of bricks on the outside of the build wasn’t complete so I was worried there would be a gap. As layers are added to the body, details like the hands, bell, tail and collar are all added. Once you have built the main segment of the body, you add the feet. I was pleasantly surprised that the legs covered the gap created in layer 2.

Once the body is built, it’s time to make the head. You begin the head by building 2 pieces for the front and back of the head. These pieces are combined to create the first few layers of the head. You add on layers by adding to the outer ring of the head. Be careful adding the layers just over the mouth because they stick out and aren’t flush. Keep adding layers with the rings getting smaller. There is an odd step to add the bricks that become the space between the eyes, but it looks a little funny while building the head layer. Once you have closed up the head, it’s time to add the final details of the eyes, nose, and whiskers.

The final step is to build to connect the head to the body. There is also a mini build that is very straightforward to make your Doraemon a sweet treat.

Things I liked:

  • The fact that the gap was filled in, so I didn’t need to figure out how to fill the gap
  • The number of details that create Doraemon

Things I didn’t like:

  • There is a gap in the eyes that I don’t really like, and I feel is noticeable
  • I feel like the feet are blocky and aren’t rounded like Doraemon’s actual feet
