Number: NBCC_005

Number of Pieces: 80

Difficulty Rating: 1

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

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.

To start the body, I lay the base layer of bricks on the pink base plate.

This is a build of Hello Kitty sitting and holding an apple.

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

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

The head goes up in very straightforward layers. I added the nose, eyes, and whiskers.

When I got to the top, I added the bow and ears. Both the bow and ears look awkward in my opinion.

To start the body, I lay the base layer of bricks on the red base plate.

The body goes up in layers, adding the legs, arms, sleeves, and apple.

The final step is to attach the head to the body. There are very clear directions as to how to attach the head so it is properly lined up.

Things I liked:

• I like the added detail of Hello Kitty holding an apple in this build

Things I didn’t like:

• I feel that the ears and bow look a little odd in the final build

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

I added a couple of layers of bricks and started to work on the bow.

Next, I added the very large printed brick. My printed brick was loose, so it kept falling apart as I added more layers.

Then I added more layers of yellow and clear orange bricks. These steps build up the main body and the main section of the bow.

After building the main section of the bow, it was time to make the head.

I continued to add layers to build the head. I added the mouth, nose, and eyes.

After closing up the head, I added his little hat.

Next, I added a bow in the center of the bow and Pompompurin’s tail.

The final step was to add the ends to the ribbons. I like that the bow wraps around Pompompurin.

Things I liked:

• I like the depth of the ribbon and how it wraps around Pompompurin

Things I didn’t like:

• I didn’t like that the printed block was loose and kept falling apart

This build is created in 2 segments. There is the head and the body.

I began the head by laying the foundation out on my nanblock pad. It takes 5 steps to create the entire base of the head.

Next, I built the head up in layers. I added the eyes and pulled the bow up along the back of the head.

After several layers, I completed the head, and it was time to focus on the bow.

The bow was very straightforward. I began by building up the side of the bow. Then I added the center.

Next, I added the ears and the bottom of the bow. I like that the build keeps Pochacco’s wonky ears and that they don’t both stick up.

I started the body by laying the brick out on the nanoblock pad.

Then I added the bricks on the front to create the legs and added bricks for the arms.

Next, I added some layers to close up the body.

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

Things I liked:

• I like how it appears the bow is wrapped around his ear

Things I didn’t like:

• I wish his shirt were green, not teal. It looks greener on the box than in person

This build is created in 2 segments. There is the head and the body.

I began by laying out the base layer of the head. I wasn’t able to use my nanoblock pad because of the nose.

It takes about 4 steps to complete the foundation of the head and get it to the right size.

Then I built the head up in layers. These layers added the eyes and printed skull brick.

After building the head, I worked on the bow.

Then I flipped the head over and rounded out the bottom of the head. I also added the collar.

Then I added the ears and the bottom of the bow to complete the head.

I started the body by laying the brick out on the nanoblock pad.

Then I added the bricks on the front to create the legs and added bricks for the arms.

Next, I added some layers to close up the body.

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

Things I liked:

• I feel that the black bow is very fitting for Kuromi
• I like that we were given a printed block for the skull on her head

Things I didn’t like:

• I didn’t like that the bottom of the head could easily fall off as I was building the rest of the head
