Mega Venusaur is the mega evolution of Venusaur. This build is similar in size to the original Venusaur build. Mega Venusaur looks like a normal Venusaur, except the flower on its back is taller and much larger.

This build has 2 major sections. There is the body and the flower on Mega Venusaur’s back.

The first section you build is the body. The first few steps create a large base. from there, the body is built in straightforward layers. The hardest part is noticing there is a dark red and dark brown brick, and the red is used to create the eyes. I didn’t notice the colors, so I needed to take sections of the build apart to fix the mistake.

The body adds details to the build, such as the shadows under the leaves and the pink from the flowers on Venusaur.

After building the body, it’s time to build the flower on Mega Venusaur’s back.

The flower’s first steps create the leaves on one side of the flower. Next, you build leaves for the other side. Then you build the center stem of the flower. The first 3 parts of the flower are combined to create the base of the flower.

After building the base, it’s time to build the actual flower. The directions for building the flower are very straightforward.

The final step is to connect the flower to the body.

Things I liked:

• I really like that the side is pretty close to the original Venusaur
• I like the amount of detail in the flower

Things I didn’t like:

• The flower in the final build is a little flimsy

Mega Blastoise is the mega evolution of Blastoise. This build is similar in size to the original Blastoise build. Mega Blastoise looks like a normal Blastoise, except its cannons are on its hands and the center of the back.

The build begins by creating the base layers of cream and blue. Each section is built separately and connected together to create a complete base.

The next several steps are building the body in layers. It was a bit tricky because the base and layers were flexible for the first several steps, so the build kept sliding apart. After a few layers, there was enough overlap, so the build was much more solid.

The next step is to build the arm cannons. The cannons are straightforward and attached easily. The next step is to lock the arms in place and begin working on the head.

The main section of the build is completed in layers. Once you start working on the head, the build will tip over if you set the build down.

The next step is to build the cannon on Mega Blastoise’s back. The cannon is fairly straightforward but flexible, so it is tricky to line up in the first couple of steps.

The final step is to finish off the feet. This step is by far the hardest of the build. It is hard to see where exactly you need to put the bricks. I could figure it out by looking at the box and the instructions.

Things I liked:

• I really like that the side is pretty close to the original Blastoise
• I like the amount of detail in the build overall

Things I didn’t like:

• How hard the last step is to figure out
