Number: NBCC_008

Number of Pieces: 100

Difficulty Rating: 1

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

I built the head up in layers. I added the nose and the eyes.

I built the head up a few more layers to close up the head and create the ears.

The final step of the head was to add the fur in the front of Charmmy Kitty and her bow.

Next, I began to work on the body. I laid the foundation on the baseplate.

I built the body up in layers. I like how the body creates a slope to make it appear that Charmmy Kitty is sitting like a cat would.

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

Things I liked:

• I like how the body curves to create the idea that the cat is sitting like a cat

Things I didn’t like:

• I don’t like how it appears the bricks may have yellowed over time. I did get this kit new, but I think it looks a bit yellow

I began the build by laying the bricks for the foundation of the head on my nanoblock pad. This layer included Kuromi’s nose.

I then build the head up in layers. I added the eyes and the rest of the face, including the eyes and skull on her hood.

I then added some layers of black to finish and close up the head.

Next, I added her ears.

Then I flipped the head over and added the bottom of the face and hood.

Then I started working on the body. I laid the bricks out on the baseplate.

Next, I built the body up in straightforward layers.

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

Things I liked:

• I like the detail of the collar added to the neck of the build

Things I didn’t like:

• I didn’t like putting the bricks in the build upside down. I always find it difficult to tell which and where to use the bricks

Number: NBCC_006

Number of Pieces: 80

Difficulty Rating: 1

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

The head went up in layers to create the head and face. I added the cheeks, mouth, and eyes.

The next step is to add the detail to the head.

The final step of the head is to add Cinnamoroll’s ears.

Next, I began the body by laying the body out on the baseplate.

The body went up in layers. It was a bit tricky to line up the bricks to create the body because of tracing through the arrows.

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

Things I liked:

• I like the rounded bricks for the eyes and mouth

Things I didn’t like:

• I found the instructions to build the body a bit confusing

This was rereleased as NBCC_005B.

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

The build begins by laying the bricks out for the base of the head. I used my nanoblock pad to hold the pieces in place.

The head goes up in straightforward layers. The layers added the mouth, nose, and eyes.

I added a few more layers and closed up the head.

Then I added the hat and ears.

I laid the base layer of the body on the baseplate. The base layer includes Pompompurin’s famous butthole.

I built the body up in layers.

The last step is to attach the head to the body. There are a pair of diagrams to show how to attach the head to the body.

Things I liked:

• I like that it included his famous butthole

Things I didn’t like:

• There are a few places where the bricks are just stacked on top of each other. Normally, the bricks are staggered, so things are easier to break apart later

Number of Pieces: 110

Difficulty Rating:2

This build is made up of 3 sections. There is the head, the body, and the base plate.

The build begins with laying out the bricks to be the foundation of the head. I laid the bricks out on my nanoblock pad.

I added two layers of bricks that contained skin, eyes, and the back of the head.

Then I added several more layers of pink for her hair. I closed up the head using the pink bricks.

Next, I had to build the hair that goes down. This was a bit tricky because it showed how many layers were needed, but there were no step-by-step directions for this section. After building the hair, I attached it to the head.

Next, I built the body. I lay the foundation out on my nanoblock pad.

I added layers to the body. In the step where I attached the arms once again, the steps were combined, so the instructions were a bit unclear.

Then I attached the head to the body.

Next, I worked on the baseplate. I attached the feet and wand to the baseplate.

The last step was to attach the body to the feet. There was a picture to describe how the body connects to the legs.

Things I liked:

• I like that they included her wand

Things I didn’t like:

• There were several steps that were skipped, which was frustrating

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

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

The head went up in layers. For 2 layers, I worked on the face, then I only had to focus on the hair.

Next, I began to work on the body. First, I laid the first layer of bricks on the clear yellow baseplate.

Then I added more layers to the body.

Next, I added the star behind Kiki.

Then I added a few more layers to finish up the body.

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

Things I liked:

• I like the star behind him

Things I didn’t like:

• I don’t feel that he is in scale with Lala, the other twin star.
