This post is a review of the nanoblock FAO Soldier Bear build. The FAO Soldier Bear is not part of any collection.
Number of Pieces: 180 pieces
Difficulty Rating: 2/5
The FAO Soldier Bear was released to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the FAO Schwarz. I didn’t know that FAO was outside the United States, so I was surprised nanoblock made a set for the anniversary.
This build is super straightforward. It begins with a white 10×10 base. From there, the entire build simply goes up in layers.
While adding the layers, you add a lot of detail. The uniform has strips and epaulet. There is also a lot of detail in the hat.
Things I liked:
- I love the amount of detail in the bear and his uniform.
Things I didn’t like:
- There is a layer of bricks where the feet meet the legs where it kept breaking, which was frustrating.
