⚡ Joltik Charges Up! ⚡
Joltik Charges Up! set by Chrixeleon, “I chose Joltik because I love Electric types and figured it was a less popular choice from the allowed Pokémon list. For this build, I was inspired by Joltik’s original Pokédex entry in Pokémon Black Version: ‘”‘Joltik that live in cities have learned a technique for sucking electricity from the outlets in houses.'”
Rowlet Razor Leaf
Rowlet Razor Leaf set by DMWM, “Although Rowlet is often seen as a cute, derpy little Pokémon, I wanted to show a different side of him in this creation: his fierce battle spirit. That contrast is exactly what inspired me. Building Rowlet in LEGO was a fun but tricky puzzle, especially capturing his recognizable shape and expression in brick form.”
Gyarados: Sunset Splash
Gyarados: Sunset Splash set by CreativeDynamicBuilder, “Gyarados is one of my favorite Pokémon and has been for a while; therefore, I wanted to do it justice when building him. I worked hard to get every detail as perfect as possible.”
The Mythical Arceus
The Mythical Arceus set by livetobuild, “The Mythical Arceus features fully articulated legs and a poseable head, allowing you to recreate dynamic poses, scenes, and attacks. Arceus can easily be removed from the card, allowing it to stand on its own for even more display and posing possibilities.”
A Mew Soaring High
A Mew Soaring High set by IsleOh, “This is my interpretation of a Mew in brick-form! Few Pokémon are as iconic as the original Mythical, so I thought making a submission using this little guy was a no-brainer!”
