This post is a review of the nanoblock Haribo Goldbear build. Goldbear is not part of another nanoblock collection.
Difficulty Rating: 1
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.
