Summary
APokemonfan has created an impressive version of Mew built out of LEGO bricks. ThePokemonLEGO build does a good job of recreating the iconic Gen 1 Pokemon, and those who are interested in making their own can find out how the builder did it.
PokemonLEGO builds are quite popular, with LEGO fans choosing a selection of bricks from existing kits to create whatever they set their mind to. Despite the popularity of the builds and how the community pays attention whenever anicePokemonLEGO buildis presented, there are no officialPokemonLEGO kits. Some series fans have been upset by this, but it doesn’t stop the most committed builders from making impressive works.
Now,Pokemonfan and LEGO builder Eyemcantoeknees has shared a new creation, revealing a Mew built entirely out of LEGO bricks. Mew is seated on top of a clear pillar housed in a Poke Ball-like base, making it look like it’s floating, with its back feet turned up in front and its large tail curling up behind its head. The Mew even has little nubs for ears and its blue eyes, making this blocky rendition of Mew quite recognizable. It’s one of many examples of iconicNintendo legends remade in LEGOform.
Pokemon Fans Express Interest in Building Mew
Outside of general praise for the build and look of the almostmecha-like Mew, some fans have wondered how the artist went about making it. Eyemcantoeknees notes that interested viewers can look at their website to get a list of the bricks used in the build, as well as the directions needed to follow along. Eyemcantoeknees estimates that Mew costs about $30 to build if one buys the bricks that are needed individually, and 118 pieces were used to make the Mew. While there may be some complexities to the build itself, the relatively low brick count may make this an accessible project for those inexperienced with LEGO.
Those feeling inspired by the idea of creating LEGOPokemonbuilds may be interested in checking out what else eyemcantoeknees has produced. The same artist previously drew attention for some of their otherPokemonLEGO creations, including Eeveelutions, Houndoom, Magnemite, Ho-Oh, Absol, and more. While a partnership between LEGO andPokemonhasn’t been secured like with some of Nintendo’s other games, with a little dedicated effort and the help of fellow LEGO builders, it’s still entirely possible to create impressive and easily recognized LEGO replicas of some of the most iconic pocket monsters in the series.
