Mini Block - Cookie Monster

The following are instructions on how to build a Cookie Monster from mini blocks. The same design can be replicated with nano blocks as well. I will also include the video that I've uploaded on YouTube of the process on assembling it. I hope you do try it, it's quite fun!

Pixel Block - Snowman

The following pictures are instructions on making a snowman pixel block from this Innisfree christmas set. The proceeds of this item is all going to charity. It was really fun assembling this decoration. You can replicate this snowman with nanoblock or Legos but the Lego one would be really big. I have also recorded a video on how the snowman was assembled. I will link the video at the bottom of the post.

More vroom vroom

I've manage to purchase two more models which is the 458 Italia and the F40. I like the F40 the most because it has many parts to assemble and I enjoy the process of it. Legos are so expensive these days, it would be wasteful if I just buy those box sets and just have fun assembling it and then it would just take up space to keep it. Oh well, since this is a cheaper alternative and limited edition I think it's worth keeping. Please enjoy the pictures of the two models.

Gashapon!

Gashapon is a capsule toy that is created by Bandai. The name itself describes the sounds that are made by turning the crank and when the capsule toy drops out. I personally like this very much because when you put in the tokens and slowly turn your toy out, the feeling of anticipation and the excitement of discovering what you get is just awesome. The capsule toys are usually from Japanese manga, video games, anime and etc which consists of characters or icons from those genres. Here in this country Gashapon can be seen placed in the premises of Toys 'R Us. When I visit the store I will definitely stop by the Gashapon vending machines and look at the sets available. Two days ago I had dinner near the store so I dropped by to take a look and it had okay selections, not all the time you'll see something you like but I assure there's always something for anime lovers or game lovers. I saw something I like and I couldn't resist purchasing two gashapons. Below are the pictures of the gashapon that I obtained randomly, it was definitely good luck that I got something I wanted from the designs available.

Android Robot Colors Mascot brochure found inside the capsule

Poor android trapped inside, look at the tear

Actually the tear is for the battery dying out soon

cute adapter at the back of the android

Sweet Usagi brochure

Help! I'm trapped inside and I can't breathe, poor bunny

A pink bunny with a leaf no top kinda like a japanese desert

When you look at what is advertised on the machine you kinda think wow they look good but unfortunately the sweet usagi cleaner isn't made as nice as the brochure. It's a bit deformed, the shape of the think is not oval and a bit weird instead. Even the android toy was not perfect, the head was not straight on the body but looking slightly to the thing's right side. Overall I enjoyed the feeling of turning the thing and opening it but I'm not so happy with the pink bunny, would have been happier with the white one instead.
