The first thing I noticed when I looked at the directions was how cramped the directions were. This meant that I needed to be more careful as I was building the set since there were so many little cutouts in the directions.

The build begins with building one side of the base of the Fuecoco. Over the next several steps the base of the Fuecoco is built. Once the entire base was built, I began to build the body section in layers. There was one step where it took me a while to figure out what brick was needed. This is because it appeared to be slanted in the directions and I had missed there was a flat piece used in the step.

The next step is to build the stubby little legs off the body and attach them. Overall, the legs are clear on how to build them and attach them.

The next step is to add the little arms.

Next, I built the head. It started from a maroon base of the mouth. Once again, it begins with a corner and builds out to create a base of the mouth. After building the entire base, the rest of the head goes up in layers. Fuecoco has dark grey eyes, which is unusual in Pokemon builds, which typically feature black eyes.

The final step is to build the neck section. The following section is straightforward, and it is clear where to connect the pieces. I really like how Fuecoco can have his mouth open a little bit. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a photo where Fuecoco has closed its mouth all the way

Things I liked:

• I really like how the mouth is slightly open because that is how the Pokemon is usually seen

Things I didn’t like:

• I didn’t like how cramped the directions where

Sprigatito is the grass starter for Generation 9. This kit features a custom brick color for the lighter green.

The build has 3 sections, the body, tail, and head.

The build begins with building the body. I lay the body out on my nanoblock pad. The body is very straightforward.

After building the body, I flipped the body over and added the legs.

The next section to build is the tail. It is also very straightforward.

The last major section is the head. The beginning of the head is a bit unusual because it takes about 10 steps to create the entire base building from the back to the front.

Once the base of the head is created, the rest of the head is fairly straightforward. I just needed to be careful about which slanty pieces I used. The eyes were also a bit tricky to connect because it wasn’t clear where things lined up or when higher than the base.

Things I liked:

• I really like the custom green color that nanoblock created for this build

Things I didn’t like:

• I wish the instructions were a bit clearer for the eyes
