Wish Me Well build front view

The build begins with the head. I laid the base layer out on my nanoblock pad. When I added the nose, I could no longer use the pad to build the head because the nose wasn’t square with the rest of the build. The rest of the head goes up in straightforward layers.

The next step is to build the main section of the body. I once again laid the body out on the nanoblock pad. One of the first steps was to add Wish Me Well’s distinctive rainbow tail. The rest of the body is relatively straightforward.

The next step is to attach the head to the body. This was surprisingly difficult. I think it’s because most of the pieces can slide, so getting things lined up can be tricky.

The next step is to add the ears, which are mirrors of each other.

The final step is to add the legs.

Things I liked:

  • I like how they created Wish Me Well’s tail

Things I didn’t like:

  • I didn’t like how hard it was to attach the head

Pompompurin build front view

This build begins with the building of the bottom of Pompompurin’s body. It starts by building a base layer that includes the custom printed brick.

Then, the body goes up in layers. There are a ton of slanted bricks to create Pompompurin’s curves.

After the body is built, the head is built directly on the body in continuing layers. The head includes adding the eyes, ears, and mouth.

The final step is to build Pompompurin’s hat, which is built directly on his head.

Pochacco build front view

The kit begins by building the head. The first step is to create the base. The second step adds the nose and the first layer of the eyes. I like that the nose is 3d and sticks out a bit. I needed to be careful because the piece with the nose kept liking to pop off the main head section. The rest of the head went up in straightforward layers.

Pochacco build side view

After building to the top of the head, I flipped the head over and added the details at the bottom of the head.

The next section is to build the body. Pochacco wears a red shirt, so the body uses white and red bricks. I like how the arms are created and stick out.

The next step is to attach the body to the head.

Next, I built and added the ears.

The final step was to attach Pochacco’s little tail.

Things I liked:

  • I like how Pochacco’s nose is 3d and pokes out a bit

Things I didn’t like:

  • The final build is tippy and is difficult to make it stand up straight

All of the details for Kuromi are in the head.

Kuromi begins with building the head. The first step creates the base of the head, and the next step locks everything into place. The rest of the top of the head goes up in straightforward layers.

Then, the head is flipped over, and a ton of detail is added. First, the nose is added. Then, the head is rounded out. Then, the details of Kuromi’s hood’s collar are added.

The next step is to build the body. Since there isn’t any detail, the steps are very straightforward.

My Melody build front view

All of the details for this build are in My Melody’s head. Their body is very simple.

The build begins with creating the base couple layers of the head. Then more layers are added to make the main face and hood covering My Melody’s head.

Then you add her bow.

Then, you build the ears onto the head. First, you make the floppy ear. This ear looks a little funny, in my opinion, depending on the angle from which you look at it. Then, you build the ear that stands up.

The second section to build is the body. The body is very straightforward until the final layer. The final layer is a bit tricky because bits overhang and are placed on gap-filled platforms.

Then, the back of the arms and legs are added.

Next, the head is attached to the body.

The final step is to add the little tail.

Things I liked:

  • I like how the bow is created for My Melody

Things I didn’t like:

  • I don’t love how the ear falling forward looks. I think it looks a little stumpy

Things I liked:

  • I really like how rarely used bricks are used to create the bow

Kirby Sword build front view

The build begins by creating the base of the Kirby. It took several steps to make the base, which looked a little odd. I decided it was likely because Kirby had his feet spread out mid-step.

Kirby Sword build side view

After the base is created, the main body of Kirby is built. These steps use the custom-printed blocks, which I much prefer to stickers. In the steps to make the body, you add Kirby’s arms, cheeks, and eyes.

The following section is about building the green hat. First, a base of yellow is built around Kirby’s head. Then green is added, making smaller and smaller layers to close up the Kirby build. At the end, a yellow poof is added to the hat.

The next step is to build and attach Kirby’s feet. Since they are in an action pose, the legs aren’t identical.

The final step is to build the sword. The sword was very straightforward. Once the sword is built, it is placed in Kirby’s hand.

Things I liked:

  • I really like how dynamic the pose is for Kirby. He really does appear to be midstep

Things I didn’t like:

  • I feel that his hat still looks a bit chunky for how dynamic the rest of the pose is

Kirby Sleep build front view

This kit begins with creating Kirby’s base. Over the first three steps, the entire base is created.

Step 4 adds the custom-printed face when the next layer is added.

Kirby Sleep build side view

Then, I began to build the hat from the back. Starting at that point, Kirby ends and the hat begins.

The hat was a little tricky because of all the slanty pieces. I needed to be careful to use the correct slanty pieces, which changed every brick. Other than the slanty pieces, the hat was pretty straightforward.

Then I flipped Kirby upside down to add the details to round out his bottom.

Next the tassel to the hat was added.

The final step is to build and add Kirby’s feet.

Things I liked:

  • I like the hat I feel that it looks like fabric

Things I didn’t like:

  • I didn’t find the instructions for adding the feet very clear
