This build is unique because it comes with a curved piece to act as a base for the finished build. My Melody’s is a clear pink.

This build begins with the head. I laid out the bricks on my nanoblock pad.

I added several layers of bricks to create the head. I added the eyes, nose, and back of the head.

Then I closed up the head and added the ears.

Then I started working on the body. I laid the foundation out on my nanoblock pad.

I built the body up in layers.

Then I attached the head to the body.

This build is unique because it comes with a curved piece to act as a base for the finished build. Hello Kitty’s is a clear blue.

I began the build by laying out the foundation of bricks for the head on my nanoblock pad.

Then I attached the head to the body.

Difficulty Rating: 1/5

This build is unique because it comes with a curved piece to act as a base for the finished build. Gudetama’s is clear and represents the egg white.

This build is very simple. It is all built in one chunk.

I began by laying the base layer out on my nanoblock pad and added the layer on top of the base layer.

Next, I added pieces that hunk the base chunks. These chunks make the base piece bigger and add his hands.

Next, I added 4 more layers of bricks to close up and complete the build.

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

Things I liked:

• I like the curved piece that comes with the kit

Things I didn’t like:

• I don’t like how the mouth looks on the final build

Number of Pieces: 90

Difficulty Rating: 1/5

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

I laid the foundations for the head out on my nanoblock pad.

Over the next 2 layers, I added the rest of the face, including the eyes.

Once the face was complete, I focused on building the hair. I added 4 more layers of pink bricks.

Next, I added the hair that falls below Lala’s head.

To begin the body, I started by building the starberry. This included 5 layers of clear peach bricks and one layer of green to be the top. I’m not sure of the exact name, but I’ve never seen this color brick before

Then I built Kiki’s body on top of the starberry. This used white bricks.

The last step was to attach the head to the body. There was a clear diagram for how to do the attachment.

Things I liked:

• I like the unusual color used to create the starberry

Things I didn’t like:

• I wish there were a bit more detail in the face

Number of Pieces: 80

Difficulty Rating: 1/5

This build has 3 sections. There is the head, body, and flower.

I began the head by laying the foundation out on my nanoblock pad.

I added several layers of bricks to the foundation. In the layers, I added the nose and eyes. I also closed up the head. I feel that My Melody’s head is very blocky, which I don’t like.

Next, I added the ears. One is up straight, and one is flopped over.

To build the body, I laid out the foundation on my nanoblock pad.

I added several layers of white to create the body. The body ended with a pink brick as the bottom of My Melody’s hood.

I began the flower by building the stem in green bricks.

Next, I added the yellow flower on the stem. The center of the flower is pink, which is a nice detail even if it isn’t visible in the final build.

The final step is to connect the three sections. There is a very clear diagram as to how to connect the sections together.

Things I liked:

• I like the flower and how it acts as a base for My Melody to sit on

Things I didn’t like:

• I feel that My Melody looks very square in the face

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

I began by laying out the base layer of the bricks. I wasn’t able to use my nanoblock pad because the side pieces were off-center.

I added several layers of bricks. This added the eyes and nose.

I closed up the head. Then I added the ears and bow.

Next, I began to work on the body. It began with the base of the apple that Hello Kitty is sitting on.

I built the apple out of layers of red bricks. The final layer included a green leaf.

Next, I began Hello Kitty’s actual body. There were lots of piecing and small bricks used to create all the colors in her outfit. I wish the blue was a bit easier to read in the instructions.

The final step was to connect the body and the head. There are a couple of diagrams to show how this is done.

Things I liked:

• I like how much detail went into Hello Kitty’s body, even though it meant working with a bunch of small bricks

Things I didn’t like:

• I found the blue a bit hard to read for which bricks to use because the instructions are so dark

Number of Pieces: 80

Difficulty Rating: 1

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

I began the head by laying the base layer of bricks out on my nanoblock pad.

I added several layers of green, black, and pink. The black was for the mouth and pink for his cheeks.

Next, I added the green to act as the back of the eyes. Then I added the front of the eyes by adding stacks of black and white bricks.

Next, I started work on the body. I laid the feet out on the baseplate.

I added several more layers to create the body. The legs are only 1 stud deep, while the main body is 2 studs deep. This meant every time I added a layer, the body pushed off due to the angle.

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

Things I liked:

• I like how big Kerokerokeroppi’s are. They match the character well

Things I didn’t like:

• I wish that the legs were 2 studs deep because it would have made building the body much easier

Number: NBCC_012

Number of Pieces: 90

Difficulty Rating: 1

This kit was re-released at NBCC_012B.

This build is broken up into 2 parts. There is the head and the body.

The head begins by laying the base bricks out. I used my nanoblock pad.

The head is built in straightforward layers. In the layers, I added the mouth, cheeks, and large eyes.

Next, I closed up the head.

To finish the head, I needed to add the ears. There aren’t directions for how to build the ears, which was disappointing. I was able to figure out how to build the ears by counting studs to figure out that the base layer was 3 long.

To build the body, I began by laying out the feet on the baseplate.

I added layers of bricks to create the body. I added his tail and arms.

The final step is to connect the head to the body. There are a couple of diagrams to show how to connect the head.

Things I liked:

• I liked that the build includes Cinnamoroll’s tail

Things I didn’t like:

• I hate that there aren’t directions for how to build his ears.
