This is a new Mega Charizard Y model. The review for the original kit is here.
The kit is built by building the body as a foundation, then the arms, tail, head, and wings are built separately and then attached to a panel on the back.
I began by laying the base layer out.
Next, I built the foundation of the 2 legs. These were straightforward. I attached the base legs to the body. The legs were posable.
I built the body and legs up in layers. I had to watch the slanty pieces because both kinds were used in the body. Over the steps, I built the stomach panel and the sides and back.
Next, I built the feet and attached them to the body.
Then I built the arms and attached them one at a time.
The next major segment was the tail. I built each segment, which had clear directions. The tail is built in such a way that it isn’t very posable.
Next, I built the center panel that the wings would connect to and connected that to the body.
Next, I built each of the wings. Most of the wing was flat with a small segment that could be rounded around to create a bit of movement. The base of the wing was attached to the center panel and cannot be posed.
Finally, I built the head. I didn’t catch that so much was made with the clear blue bricks, so I made the mistake and used solid bricks, which I fixed after I had started. I do like the amount of detail in the head, considering how small it is compared to the rest of the build.
Things I liked:
- I like how much detail is in the head for how small it is
Things I didn’t like:
- I don’t like that the build isn’t as posable and the Mega Charizard Y RS
