This post is a review of the nanoblock Haribo Goldbear build. Goldbear is not part of another nanoblock collection.

The instructions for this nanoblock build were in black and white. You know which bricks to use because each color is labeled using mostly hiragana, so I was able to read the colors at least.

The build begins with a base plate and builds up in layers in one build. I was surprised that the build wasn’t in sections.
First, you put the feet and legs on the base plate.
Next, you build the body of the bear in layers. I like the details of his paw being down being added in.

When you reach the top of the body, you add the bow tie. I was a little surprised that the bowtie was off-center, which was a bit of a surprise and made the directions a bit confusing. It is also a bit confusing as to where exactly the paw going up attaches to the body.
After adding the bow tie, you build the head. The head is very straightforward. I really like how big the Goldbear’s eyes are. I also really like how the ears are built to create a sense of depth.

Things I liked:
- I like how recognizable the bear is. It looks a lot like the mascot
- I like the depth of details in the ears
Things I didn’t like:
- His bowtie is off-center, and I’m not sure I like it. I may have preferred it to be centered
- As I built the body, it kept coming off the legs. I wish the build was in sections instead of just being in layers.
