I think the bear looks super weird and more like a zombie bear because its build is so small. It also looks super blocky and less like a teddy bear. However, I do like how the gift box looks.
I bought this used kit, knowing I would at least get the instructions. Sadly, the kit was missing some of the bricks, so I needed to order bricks via the Dia Block Rakuten site. Since I wanted to make sure the browns would all match, I bought bags of all the different bricks I would need.
The bear begins with the body. It starts small and gets bigger as the layers go up. Each layer nicely locks in the bricks, so you don’t need to worry about there being towers of bricks that can fall out.
The next step is to build the head. Several layers include putting bricks into the bottom of the overhangs. It is a bit tricky to keep everything squared up. I’m not sure that pink is the best color for the eyes. Maybe black or blue would look better.
In addition to the bear, there is also a gift. The gift is fairly straightforward, but it isn’t all held together until the third layer. I do like how the bow is created at the top of the gift.
Things I liked:
- I like that nanoblock tried to make a teddy bear even if I don’t love how the final bear looks
Things I didn’t like:
- I feel that the bear looks really blocky and more like a zombie bear
