Hawks is one of the Pro Heroes in My Hero Academia. At the beginning of the series, I believe he is ranked 3rd. His Quirk grants him a pair of feathery wings on his back. These wings allow him to fly, and he can telekinetically control the movement and nature of each individual feather. Allowing him to control each feather’s speed and trajectory.
The build begins with building the head. The head is straightforward, and I built it on my nanoblock pad. I really like how the hair is layered and his yellow sunglasses. The hair looks flowy and messy, which is how Hawks’s hair looks in the Anime and Manga.
The next section of the build is to build the body. For some reason, I had a lot of trouble getting everything in the body lined up and actually needed to rebuild it several times so that it would hold together and the head could stay attached.
The next step is to attach the head to the body. Since I had problems building the body and getting the studs on the top of the body, I had a very hard time attaching the head. In the end, I realized that one of the squares in the base of the head was going in the wrong direction. I was eventually able to connect the head to the body.
The next step is to build the legs and feet. The legs are both different, but both are very straightforward.
The final step is to build Hawks’s trademark wings. Building each wing is very straightforward. However, attaching the wings to the ball joint was a bit tricky. This is because pushing the wings on the body risked the head falling off or the body falling apart.
Things I liked:
- I like the wings
Things I didn’t like:
- Attaching the head was difficult, and every time I tried to attach it, the body fell apart.
