Back in 2013, The Pokemon Company teamed up with Kawada to create a line of Pokemon figurines for Nanoblocks, which are essentially Lego building blocks that happen to be bite-sized. At first, the series only consisted of Pokemon from the Kanto region, but over the years, it has expanded to include ‘mons from future generations. It actually released a new set of Nanoblock figures for Pokemon’s 25th anniversary, making available Pokemon such as Garchomp and Kubfu.
One Pokemon fan who invested in the line of buildable statues took to social media to show off their amassed collection. While they don’t have all of the Pokemon Nanoblock figures released so far, they definitely sport an impressive assortment. They’ve managed to build 46 out of the 80-plus models released, which is more than half of what’s currently available. However, whether or not they will grab the rest of the Nanoblock models for their display remains a mystery.
Posted to Reddit by K1ros, the collection itself consists of numerous Pokemon, including several of Eevee’s evolutions, Mega Charizard X and Y, Ho-Oh and Lugia, several Pokemon from Kanto, and even most of the beginning stages of the starter Pokemon currently available. The post’s title suggests the poster wants to build them all, and if that’s the case, they’re well on their way. Yes, quite a few Pokemon remain, but the size of the collection so far deserves some praise.
Kawada releases a new set of Pokemon Nanoblocks every year, but seemingly only up to 12 at a time. With 898 Pokemon in the current canon — and more certainly on the way — it will take quite a long time, if not forever, for the company to release figures of all of them. On the bright side, the slow release time makes it so that interested Pokemon fans can keep up with gathering and building the figures for their expanding collections.
It’ll be interesting to see if Kawada plans to release all 898 Pokemon and if someone builds them all as a result. Such a feat would easily be one of the greatest fan-made tributes to the franchise. The amount of time, effort, and resources such a venture would require would be astronomical, to say the least. Releasing all of the Pokemon in canon seems to be Kawada’s eventual goal, but considering how long it’s taking it to go about it, it’s likely such a roster won’t exist for quite a long time.
