Charizard is the most popular final evolution of the generation 1 starter Charmander. Even when the other gen. 1 Pokemon haven’t been available in the game, this Pokemon is still there. When mega evolution was introduced in generation 6, Charizard was one of 2 pokemon to get a Pokemon X and a Pokemon Y form.

Charizard is broken down into 5 builds, the body, 2 wings, the head, and tail flame. The body is straightforward and made up of orange and tan bricks. Then there are 2 wings; they are the same but mirrored. I had the most challenging time getting the wings right for some reason. I think my husband ended up fixing the wings. The head was another straightforward, and there are excellent directions for where to attach the head. I love the way that nanoblock uses transparent blocks for the flame tails on the Charmander family.

I would describe the Charizard build as frustrating. I found the wings impossible to put together and he ended up needing a base because it was tippy.

Things I liked:

• The transparent bricks that make up the flame on the tail

Things I didn’t like:

• Tippy and needed to have a base for it

Charmander is by far the most popular of the generation 1 pokemon. I believe that this is because he evolves into the super-powerful Charizard. I personally think he is cute.

Overall, this build has a fairly usual build for the pokemon sets where you start with a base and build your way up through the rest of the build. He is a bit unusual because of the jut out for his tail. The most unique thing about Charmander is that they use transparent blocks for the flame on this tail.

Things I liked:

• The transparent blocks in the tail
