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.
