This is by far the most difficult of the Yu-Gi-Oh builds. I had to stop at multiple points to reevaluate what was going on and how things could be properly built. I also had to take things apart several times to correct what I had built.

The first step was to build the body. The build started at the hips and builds up the torso. At one point, the body is attached by one stud, so the entire rib cage rotates, so keeping it lined up was a bit tricky. When I got to the top of the body, I placed a 2×2 round piece, which, when I originally placed the brick, the head connection wasn’t lined up properly.

The next step was to build the head. The head was very straightforward to build.

Next I attached the head to the body.

The next step was to build the legs. For some reason, it wasn’t build one leg then build the other (which is the usual pattern). Instead, I was building a section of each leg in a mirrored step at a time. This made building the legs a lot trickier than it needed to be.

Then I attached the legs to the body

The next section is to build the arms. The arms are identical and fairly straightforward.

Then I attached the arms to the body.

The next step is to build the wings. The wings are mirrors of each other. A nice detail is that there is a clear brick to strengthen the wing.

Finally, I attached the wings to the body. Sadly, this made the build very back-heavy so the build snapped at the spine, where is it held together by 1 stud. I was able to get it back together, but it became very fragile.

Things I liked:

  • I like that the wings have a clear brick that works as a support to strengthen the wings

Things I didn’t like:

  • I don’t like that the torso is attached to the hips by one stud. When I attached the wings the two sections would barely be stay connected
