Number: NBCC_200

Number of Pieces: 280

Difficulty Rating: 2/5

This build begins with creating the base for Kirby. There are gaps in the back where the feet will go.

After the base is created, the main body of Kirby is built. These steps use the custom-printed blocks, which I much prefer to stickers. In the steps to make the body, you also add Kirby’s arms, cheeks, and eyes.

The next step is to build Kirby’s fire crown. This proved to be surprisingly tricky. Each step included adding a ton of bricks, and sometimes, it was hard to tell when to add a 1×1. Even when I could tell to add a brick, it was tricky to tell where exactly to add it. I wish the instructions had been more spread out so there would have been more steps.

Next is to build Kirby’s feet. They are very straightforward.

The final step is to build the stand since Kirby’s feet hang below the body but can’t hold him up.

Things I liked:

I really like the use of clear bricks to create the fire crown

Things I didn’t like:

I wish the instructions for the fire crown had been more spread out

Difficulty Rating: 2/5

The build begins by creating the base of the Kirby. It takes several steps to make the base.

After the base is created, the main body of Kirby is built. These steps use the custom-printed blocks, which I much prefer to stickers. In the steps to make the body, you add Kirby’s arms, cheeks, and eyes.

The following section is about building the ice crown. First, a purple base is built around Kirby’s head. Then, the clear blue and clear bricks create the spiky crown.

The next step is to build and attach Kirby’s feet. Since they are in an action pose, the legs aren’t identical.

Things I liked:

I really like how dynamic the pose is for Kirby. He really does appear to be midstep

Things I didn’t like:

I wish there was a light blue clear brick instead of using clear bricks to create the crown

Number: NBCC_150

Number of Pieces: 170

Difficulty Rating: 2/5

The build begins with the head. It begins with a layer of mint blue. Then the large eyes are started.

The head goes up in straightforward layers. I needed to be careful to watch for which slanty pieces to use because there are a lot of slanty pieces.

After building to the top of the head, I flipped the head over to add the neck details and the mouth.

The next section is to build Hangyodon’s body. It also begins with a layer of mint blue bricks.

The body goes up in fairly straightforward layers. There are more slanty pieces in the body.

After building the body, I flipped the body over to add the tail and feet.

Things I liked:

I really like the mint blue color. It isn’t a color that is used a lot
I really like how the extra large details make the character super recognizable

Things I didn’t like:

I felt the colors marking which light blue slanty pieces to use didn’t have a lot of difference, so it was unclear which to use

Review of nanoblock Wish Me Well NBCC_149

Difficulty Rating: 2/5

The build begins with the head. I laid the base layer out on my nanoblock pad. When I added the nose, I could no longer use the pad to build the head because the nose wasn’t square with the rest of the build. The rest of the head goes up in straightforward layers.

The next step is to build the main section of the body. I once again laid the body out on the nanoblock pad. One of the first steps was to add Wish Me Well’s distinctive rainbow tail. The rest of the body is relatively straightforward.

The next step is to attach the head to the body. This was surprisingly difficult. I think it’s because most of the pieces can slide, so getting things lined up can be tricky.

The next step is to add the ears, which are mirrors of each other.

The final step is to add the legs.

Things I liked:

I like how they created Wish Me Well’s tail

Things I didn’t like:

I didn’t like how hard it was to attach the head

Number: NBCC_182

Number of Pieces: 140

Difficulty Rating: 2/5

This build begins with the building of the bottom of Pompompurin’s body. It starts by building a base layer that includes the custom printed brick.

Then, the body goes up in layers. There are a ton of slanted bricks to create Pompompurin’s curves.

After the body is built, the head is built directly on the body in continuing layers. The head includes adding the eyes, ears, and mouth.

The final step is to build Pompompurin’s hat, which is built directly on his head.

Things I liked:

I like how the curves are created

Things I didn’t like:

Compared to the other Sanrio builds that came out at the same time (nearby NBCC numbers), I feel that Pompompurin has a lot less detail

The kit begins by building the head. The first step is to create the base. The second step adds the nose and the first layer of the eyes. I like that the nose is 3d and sticks out a bit. I needed to be careful because the piece with the nose kept liking to pop off the main head section. The rest of the head went up in straightforward layers.

After building to the top of the head, I flipped the head over and added the details at the bottom of the head.

The next section is to build the body. Pochacco wears a red shirt, so the body uses white and red bricks. I like how the arms are created and stick out.

The next step is to attach the body to the head.

Next, I built and added the ears.

The final step was to attach Pochacco’s little tail.

Things I liked:

I like how Pochacco’s nose is 3d and pokes out a bit

Things I didn’t like:

The final build is tippy and is difficult to make it stand up straight

Number: NBCC_179

Number of Pieces: 160

Difficulty Rating: 2/5

All of the details for Kuromi are in the head.

Kuromi begins with building the head. The first step creates the base of the head, and the next step locks everything into place. The rest of the top of the head goes up in straightforward layers.

Then, the head is flipped over, and a ton of detail is added. First, the nose is added. Then, the head is rounded out. Then, the details of Kuromi’s hood’s collar are added.

The next step is to build the body. Since there isn’t any detail, the steps are very straightforward.

Then, the head is attached to the body.

Next, the tail is added.

The final step is to build and attach the ears. I really like how the ears are at an angle.

Things I liked:

I like how the ears are at an angle

Things I didn’t like:

I wish they had used black bricks instead of light purple for Kuromi’s hood

Review of nanoblock My Melody NBCC_178

Number: NBCC_178

Number of Pieces: 170

Difficulty Rating: 2/5

All of the details for this build are in My Melody’s head. Their body is very simple.

The build begins with creating the base couple layers of the head. Then more layers are added to make the main face and hood covering My Melody’s head.

Then you add her bow.

Then, you build the ears onto the head. First, you make the floppy ear. This ear looks a little funny, in my opinion, depending on the angle from which you look at it. Then, you build the ear that stands up.

The second section to build is the body. The body is very straightforward until the final layer. The final layer is a bit tricky because bits overhang and are placed on gap-filled platforms.

Then, the back of the arms and legs are added.

Next, the head is attached to the body.

The final step is to add the little tail.

Things I liked:

I like how the bow is created for My Melody

Things I didn’t like:

I don’t love how the ear falling forward looks. I think it looks a little stumpy
