Celebi is the mythical Pokemon that was released in generation 2. It was the second mythical Pokemon, with the first being Mew. Celebi is known to have the power to control time. This set is one of 3 that were/are only available at Pokemon Centers in Singapore; the other 2 are the Crystal Gyarados and the Crystal Lapras.

Celebi, unlike most builds, begins with the middle of the head. There is a base layer in the head, and from there, you build up until you have completed the top of the head. Then you turn it over and finish the bottom of the head, be careful not to knock the antenna off. Next, you build the little body by creating layers of nanoblocks. I like the detail of the clear blocks to making little wings. Once you connect the head to the body, it’s time to add on the little feet and attach the base.

As a heads up, Celebi is a slightly top-heavy build that is likely to fall if you bump the table it’s sitting on. Overall I’m glad I went through the extra work required to get this set because it comes out so cute. It also uses colors you don’t see very often in Pokemon builds.

Things I liked:

• The detail of the wings

Things I didn’t like:

• Easy to knock over on accident

Mew is the first mythical Pokemon from back in generation 1.

The Mew build comprises 3 separate parts, the body, the head (and the tail), and the base. This build is also different from most Pokemon builds because it has clear bricks built into the model instead of the clear bricks being a stand. The body is a typical simple stack of bricks like an average nanoblock build. The head is basically a cube with the tail coming off. It also has the directions to build 2 sections of the head simultaneously. The last part is the stand which allows Mew to float!

Overall I really liked the build. I love that it stands very well and isn’t tippy, which is uncommon with the floating models.

Things I liked:

• Really well balanced and stands well

Things I didn’t like:

• I wish the tail was thicker
