Bakugo is a member of class one 1A along with Izuku. His quirk is Explosion, allowing him to ignite his sweat to create explosions. He has been friends with Izuku since they were children. To read more about this character, check out the myheroacademia wiki.
This build is broken up into several parts. There is the head, both arms, the torso, the legs, and the feet. Bakugo’s arms have large pieces that look like grenades that are built up in brick form.
The most significant part of this build is by far the head. The head begins with a layer of skin-colored bricks. Next, you add a layer of black that creates the bottom of his mask. You continue to add layers to the front of the face. After a few layers, you begin a base layer and build up the back of the head. Then combine the front and back of the head to create a full head. Once the pieces are connected, you add layers of hair creating detailed spiky hair.
The next chunk you build is the torso. The torso is a simple 3 layers of bricks.
The next step is to build the left arm. You build up layers of bricks from a base. There is a skin-tone brick that sticks out on the back of the arm. There is also an excellent detail of the arm where you can see his fingers or hand at the end of the grenades. This is done by attaching the black bricks to the side of the section. You stick this arm to the torso.
Next, you build the right arm. The build is very similar to the left arm. The major difference is there the skin-tone piece comes out of the center of the build instead of the side. Once you build the left arm, you attach it to the torso.
The next step is to build the legs. I found the legs extremely tricky compared to the rest of the build. This is because there are a lot of finicky bits. I also have difficulty reading directions when the build is upside down. Once you build the legs, you attach the torso to the legs. At this point, you can also attach the head.
The final part of the build is to add the feet to the base. Once you build up the feet on the base, you attach the body and head. When I did my build, the legs kept breaking apart, and the arms didn’t want to stay connected.
Overall I really like this build. There is a ton of detail in Bakugo’s hero costume and hair.
Things I liked:
- The amount of detail in the costume and hair
Things I didn’t like:
- The fact the legs kept falling apart when I was building
