This build has 2 major sections. There is the yolk and the white (since he is an egg).

The yolk is the main section of the character and comes with a printed face piece.

The first step is to build 2 2-layered segments and attach them together. The rest of the body is very straightforward and goes up in layers.

Once the body is built and closed up, little arms are added to the front of the build.

The final step is to flip the build over and add some depth and feet. I had difficulty figuring out where to attach the feet, which was frustrating. The rest of the details were straightforward.

The second major section is the white. It is a flat layer of bricks with a few studs sticking out so you can attach the yolk section to it later. Building it was very straightforward.

The final step is to connect the 2 sections together. It was a bit tricky to connect them because the fit is so tight, and everything needs to be exactly lined up.

Things I liked:

• I like that they used clear white bricks for the white section instead of actual white bricks

Things I didn’t like:

• I didn’t find the directions for adding the feet clear

This build is made up of 2 sections. There is the head and the body.

The head begins by taking 6 steps to create the base 2 layers of the head.

After building the base, the head goes up in layers that are straightforward. A hole is left so that the printed piece can be dropped into place right in front.

The head continues in layers, and eventually, I began the bow. After building the sides of the bow, I added the center of the bow.

After finishing the bow, I flipped the head over and added the bottom of the head.

The final step of the head is to add a small brick that acts as a bow around Kuromi’s neck.

I began the body by laying the base layer out on my nanoblock pad. Bricks were added to the side over the next few steps.

Once I attached bricks to the back of the body. I stopped using my nanoblock pad because the studs didn’t line up.

The rest of the body goes up in straightforward layers.

Then I flipped the body over and added the legs and tail.

Next, attach the head to the body.

The final step is to build 2 identical ears and attach them to Kuromi’s head.

Things I liked:

• I really like that the skull on her hood is printed

Things I didn’t like:

• I don’t love how the purples look together

This build is made up of 2 sections: the head and the body.

The head begins with building 2 sections that are connected. Then the front center is built and added to the face. Overall, getting the base layer of the head takes a total of 6 instructions. At this point, the head was a bit flimsy and tried to fall apart on me.

The next layer takes 4 steps, but locks all the loose bricks into place.

The rest of the head is fairly straightforward, going up in layers. At one point, I began to build the bow, so I needed to be careful to use the correct pink in each step.

After completing the bow, I added the center of the bow.

Next, I flipped the head over and added details to the underside to round out the head.

The final step of the head is to add what appears to be a random brick to the front of the build.

Next was the time to build the body. I was able to build the body on my nanoblock pad, which made it very simple. The body goes up in straightforward layers.

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

The final step was to add the details to the back of the outfit.

Finally, connect the head to the body. The random brick on the head became a bow on the body.

Things I liked:

• I really like the details throughout the dress, such as the bows and use of rounded bricks

Things I didn’t like:

• I didn’t really like how loose the head was, and the bricks were going in various directions when I tried to push the bricks together.

This build begins by creating 2 two-layer segments and connecting them together, creating the base of the body.

The build goes up in layers of blue and black to create the body.

Then I built the bottom of the front of Hangyodon’s head as a separate piece. This included his large lips.

Then I connected the head to the body.

Then I built the head in layers. In the front, most of the work was in building the 3d eyes. While the back of the build is simply the black helmet.

After completing the face, I worked to complete the rest of the helmet, including the sections hanging over Hangyodon’s face. I also added the decoration in clear yellow bricks.

The final step was to flip the build over and attach the feet.

Things I liked:

• I like how 3d his eyes are and how it makes the build seem much deeper

Things I didn’t like:

• I don’t like how hard it is to see the royal blue in the body

This build is made of 2 sections: the head and the body.

The head begins with 2 steps, building the base, and 2 layers of the head.

After building the base, the head goes up in straightforward layers. In the layers, I added the hat and Pochacco’s hair.

Then I flipped the head over to add details to the bottom.

The final step is to add the ears.

The body was much trickier to build than I was expecting.

First, I built the left and right arms and a section to go in the back. This created a little you shape once all 3 parts were connected.

Next, I built the front section. This was a bit tricky because of how the bricks hung off.

Then I connected the front to the U-shaped piece and finished the main body section.

Next, I added the legs and a tail.

The final step was to connect the head to the body. I connected the head in the correct space, but Pochacco didn’t stand on his own. I added a baseplate to the build so that he could stand.

Things I liked:

• I really like the amount of depth in the main body

Things I didn’t like:

• I don’t like that he doesn’t stand

This build is made of 2 sections: the head and the body.

The head begins with building 3 small sections that are all connected together to create the base of the head.

The rest of the main section of the head goes together very straightforwardly. It goes up in layers. I had the problem where the front of the head kept wanting to pop off while I was building.

After building the main section of the head, I flipped the build over and added bricks to create the bottom of the head.

Next, I added the printed piece of the skull. I’m so happy they used printed pieces instead of stickers.

The final step of the head is to build her ears. These were identical and very straightforward.

The body, like the head, is made up of 3 sections that are all put together to create the base.

The body goes up in layers. I found the body to be super flimsy and hard to hold and add additional bricks to.

After building the main section of the body, I flipped over the build and added the legs.

The last section of the body is to add Kuromi’s tail.

Finally, connect the head to the body. I needed to be careful to make sure that things lined up properly so the build wasn’t tippy.

Things I liked:

• I really like how the kit came with a printed brick instead of stickers

Things I didn’t like:

• I didn’t like how flimsy the build was while I was building it

This build has 2 sections. There is the head and the body.

The head begins by taking 2 steps to complete the base 2 layers that all the rest of the head will be built on.

After building the base layers, the head goes up in a straightforward manner. At one point, I paused building the head to add the blue bow. The bow is held in place by one stud, so I had to be careful once it was added.

Once I started the ears, I needed to double-check that I hadn’t skipped a step or added extra bricks because there are several identical steps to create the height of the ears.

Once I had built the base of the head, I flipped it over and added a base layer that rounded out the head a bit.

Then it was time to move on to the body. I had quite a bit of difficulty getting all the bricks lined up for the first step of the build, but eventually got things lined up properly.

Then the body went up in layers.

After building to the top of the body, I flipped the build over and added legs and a tail.

The final step was to attach the head to the body.

Things I liked:

• I like the contrast of the blue bow against all the pink

Things I didn’t like:

• I found the first step for the body to be confusing

The first step is to build the head. It takes about 6 to make the main section of the head. At that time, I added the mouth, cheeks, and eyes.

The next step is to build the ears. They are very straightforward and are built and attached in 1 step.

The next step is to build the body. This was fairly straightforward. When I added the legs and the clear brick to stabilize the build.

The last step is to attach the head to the body. When I added the head, the body became very tippy.

Things I liked:

• I really like the clear white bricks that are used for this build

Things I didn’t like:
