This kit was re-released as number NBCC_002B.
This build of made up of 2 sections. There is the head and the body.
I began by laying out the base layer of the head on my nanoblock pad.
The head goes up in very straightforward layers. I added the nose and eyes.
When I got to the top, I added the ears. One is bent forward and one is upright.
To start the body, I lay the base layer of bricks on the pink base plate.
The body goes up in layers, adding the legs and arms.
The final step is to attach the head to the body. There are very clear directions as to how to attach the head so it is properly lined up.
Things I liked:
- I like that the build included the fact My Melody often has bent ears
Things I didn’t like:
- I don’t like the fact that the arms are randomly sticking out

There were 2 things that were tricky with this build. First was picking the right color to use. The greys and clears appear to be similar in the instructions so i can be hard to tell which color to use. Second, was choosing the right ball socket pieces to use.
The build begins with creatings a stand so that the dragon can appear to be floating. The base is made of clear bricks.
Next I built the body section. This included a bunch of ball joints for the rest of the dragon to be attached to. Once I finished the body I attached it to the base.
Next I built the tail which consisted of 2 identical sections and the tip section.
Next I built the legs and feet. I had a hard time figuring out how to connect the feet to the legs so that it would look correct on the body. I was able to figure it out.
THen I built the wings. Each wing was very straightforward but took 9 steps to complete and attach to the bulid. Since the wing is held in place by 1 ball socket it ended up floppy and not very posable which was disappointing.
Then I built the arms and neck.
The last section to build was the head. The head was a bit tricky because of how fragile the picece was. I did break it a couple time trying to attach it.
Things I liked:
- I like the use of clear blue bricks for the eyes
Things I didn’t like:
- I wish the wings had been more posable

This kit was re-released as number NBCC_001B.
This is a build of Hello Kitty sitting and holding an apple.
This build is made up of 2 sections. There is the head and the body.
I began by laying out the base layer of the head on my nanoblock pad.
The head goes up in very straightforward layers. I added the nose, eyes, and whiskers.
When I got to the top, I added the bow and ears. Both the bow and ears look awkward in my opinion.
To start the body, I lay the base layer of bricks on the red base plate.
The body goes up in layers, adding the legs, arms, sleeves, and apple.
The final step is to attach the head to the body. There are very clear directions as to how to attach the head so it is properly lined up.
Things I liked:
- I like the added detail of Hello Kitty holding an apple in this build
Things I didn’t like:
- I feel that the ears and bow look a little odd in the final build

The build begins by taking 2 steps to create the base layers of the head.
From there the head goes up in layers added the eyes and ears. Eventually the focus is all on the hair. The hair continues in straightforward layers until the head is finished.
The next section is to build the coat that is billowing. I had a bit of difficulty following the cramped instructions and telling which bricks had been used. But I was able to build it on the first try.
The next step is to built the torso. The torso was very fragile and kept falling apart while I was building it and after I had put it together. I think this is because there were multiple sections that weren’t pinned down well.
Then I connected the torso to the coat base.
Then I build the hands and connected them. I’m not sure what he is supposed to be holding but I’m guessing cards.
Then I built the hips and attached them. This was another spot where I had problems with the torso.
Then I built the legs and attached them.
Next I built the stand to help the finished model stay up.
The final step is to build and attach the play board.
Things I liked:
- I like that the finished build stands considering how big the cape is so the weight is spread out
Things I didn’t like:
- I didn’t like how fragile the torso was and how that affected the entire build

The build begins with creating a base layer of of bricks. This includes the skin tone for the face and the red for the back of the hair.
The head then went up in slow layers with each layer taking multiple steps. The layers add eyes and ears along with the foundations of the hair.
Once the face is complete, the main focus is to complete the hair. I really like how much detail is included in the hair between the angles and colors. I also like how the hair in front of his face was created.
The next step is to build the body. When I was building it I wasn’t sure what was going on because there is a ton of detail in the back that I couldn’t see on the box. It turns out that his cape is floating behind him which is a cool effect.
After building out the cape, I built the main section of the body and arms.
Then I built the hands and connected them to the body. Then I built the board that he wears on his arm.
Next I attached the head to the body.
Then I built a stand to help him stand up.
Finally I built the 2 legs and attached them to the build.
When I tried to have the finished build stand, I wasn’t able to. I was super bummed that he didn’t stand after all the work I didn’t to build him.
Things I liked:
- I like how much detail is included in the hair
Things I didn’t like:
- I hate that I couldn’t get the final build to stand and that I couldn’t get it on a base plate. The photos without a stand are because my husband is better at lining things up just so the build can stand

I began the build by laying the base layer of bricks out on my nanoblock pad.
I added a couple of layers of bricks and started to work on the bow.
Next, I added the very large printed brick. My printed brick was loose, so it kept falling apart as I added more layers.
Then I added more layers of yellow and clear orange bricks. These steps build up the main body and the main section of the bow.
After building the main section of the bow, it was time to make the head.
I continued to add layers to build the head. I added the mouth, nose, and eyes.
After closing up the head, I added his little hat.
Next, I added a bow in the center of the bow and Pompompurin’s tail.
The final step was to add the ends to the ribbons. I like that the bow wraps around Pompompurin.
Things I liked:
- I like the depth of the ribbon and how it wraps around Pompompurin
Things I didn’t like:
- I didn’t like that the printed block was loose and kept falling apart

This build is created in 2 segments. There is the head and the body.
I began the head by laying the foundation out on my nanblock pad. It takes 5 steps to create the entire base of the head.
Next, I built the head up in layers. I added the eyes and pulled the bow up along the back of the head.
After several layers, I completed the head, and it was time to focus on the bow.
The bow was very straightforward. I began by building up the side of the bow. Then I added the center.
Next, I added the ears and the bottom of the bow. I like that the build keeps Pochacco’s wonky ears and that they don’t both stick up.
I started the body by laying the brick out on the nanoblock pad.
Then I added the bricks on the front to create the legs and added bricks for the arms.
Next, I added some layers to close up the body.
The final step is to attach the head to the body.
Things I liked:
- I like how it appears the bow is wrapped around his ear
Things I didn’t like:
- I wish his shirt were green, not teal. It looks greener on the box than in person

This build is created in 2 segments. There is the head and the body.
I began by laying out the base layer of the head. I wasn’t able to use my nanoblock pad because of the nose.
It takes about 4 steps to complete the foundation of the head and get it to the right size.
Then I built the head up in layers. These layers added the eyes and printed skull brick.
After building the head, I worked on the bow.
Then I flipped the head over and rounded out the bottom of the head. I also added the collar.
Then I added the ears and the bottom of the bow to complete the head.
I started the body by laying the brick out on the nanoblock pad.
Then I added the bricks on the front to create the legs and added bricks for the arms.
Next, I added some layers to close up the body.
The final step is to attach the head to the body.
Things I liked:
- I feel that the black bow is very fitting for Kuromi
- I like that we were given a printed block for the skull on her head
Things I didn’t like:
- I didn’t like that the bottom of the head could easily fall off as I was building the rest of the head
