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

The head begins by building 2 segments and putting those segments together

The head goes up in straightforward layers. Unlike most Sanrio builds, I was able to use my nanoblock pad for the entire head.

After building up the head, I built and added the ears.

Then I flipped the build over and added the details to round out Cinnamoroll’s head.

The final step of the head is to add the bow to the head.

The body begins by taking several steps to create the base of the body. This includes Cinnamoroll’s hands.

The rest of the body goes up in straightforward layers. There are a total of 3 layers. There is also a step to add Cinnamoroll’s arms.

The last step is to connect the head to the body.

Things I liked:

• I like the clear pink brick that is used at the center of the bow

Things I didn’t like:

• Cinnamoroll is a guy, so I’m not sure why he is wearing a kimono and head bow

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

The first step is to build the head. The first step is to build 2 sections for the base of the head. The 2 sections are connected to create the base.

Then the nose and eyes are added to the front. Then, Hello Kitty’s whiskers are added using printed bricks.

The next several steps are to build the rest of the height in Hello Kitty’s head.

The next step is to flip over the head and add a layer of bricks to the base of her head.

The final step of the head is to add the bow to the front of the head.

The body takes several steps to build the base. I laid them out on my nanoblock pad, and it was easy to keep everything connected. It was straightforward on my pad.

The next several layers go between building her arms and building up the body.

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

Things I liked:

• I really like how the bow looks with the red and clear yellow bricks

Things I didn’t like:

• I didn’t like how long the build was flimsy for when I was building it

This build has 2 major sections: the head and the body.

The head begins with a base layer of bricks, with the nose sticking out. This meant that I wasn’t about to build the head on my nanoblock pad. The base layer is all connected and held together by the second layer.

Next, the sides of Chococat’s face are built. These were a bit tricky because there are a couple of layers that aren’t tied together, and everything is pinned at the top instead of the normal locking of each layer.

Next, the beginning of the eyes are added.

Over the next several steps, the head is built in straightforward layers. I like how there are round bricks for the eyes, which is a detail that wasn’t clear in the photo.

The next step is to build and add the ears. The ears were straightforward to build, but I had difficulty getting the ears to properly line up with the head.

The final step to building the head is to add the whiskers to all the studs sticking out.

The body was very straightforward, and I was able to build the main foundation on my nanoblock pad. The body went up in layers, and all the directions were clear.

After building the main section of the body, I added length to Chococat’s tail and added the legs.

Finally, attach the head to the body.

Things I liked:

• I really like the small details like the rounded bricks for the eyes and how much length is in the tail

Things I didn’t like:

• I didn’t understand the directions for how to attach the ears, which made doing it a lot harder

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
