Setup and Assembly

Assembly of Nanoblock figures requires careful attention to detail and patience. Follow these general steps:

1. Preparation: Unpack all Nanoblock pieces. It is recommended to sort the blocks by color and size on a clean, well-lit, flat surface. This will help in easily locating the required pieces during construction.
2. Instructions: Refer to the specific instruction diagrams provided within the product packaging for each individual Pokémon figure. These diagrams illustrate the step-by-step placement of each block.
3. Connection: Nanoblocks connect by aligning the studs on the top of one block with the holes on the bottom of another. Apply gentle, even pressure to ensure a secure fit.
4. Precision: Due to the small size of the blocks, fine motor skills are essential. Small tools like tweezers (not included) may be helpful for placing very tiny pieces or for adjusting blocks in tight spaces.

Operating (Building Tips)

• Work Area: Always build on a stable, flat, and well-lit surface to prevent losing small pieces.
• Patience is Key: Nanoblock assembly can be intricate. Take your time and follow each step carefully.
• Double-Check: Before moving to the next step, ensure all blocks from the current step are correctly and firmly attached.
• Breaks: If you feel frustrated, take a short break. Returning with fresh eyes can often help resolve difficulties.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: To clean assembled Nanoblock figures, gently wipe them with a dry, soft cloth. For stubborn dust, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these may damage the plastic or alter its color.
• Storage: Store assembled models away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent discoloration, warping, or weakening of connections. Unassembled blocks should be kept in their original packaging or a sealed container to prevent loss and protect them from dust.
• Handling: Handle assembled figures with care, especially those with delicate parts, to avoid accidental disassembly.

Troubleshooting

• Missing Pieces: If you believe you have missing pieces, first carefully re-check your work area and packaging. If pieces are genuinely missing, please contact Nanoblock customer support or the retailer from whom you purchased the product.
• Difficulty Connecting Blocks: Ensure the blocks are correctly oriented and aligned. Apply firm, even pressure. If a block does not fit, do not force it, as this may damage the block. Re-examine the instructions to confirm correct placement.
• Figure Falling Apart: This usually indicates that some blocks are not fully connected. Carefully review the assembled sections, pressing down on each block to ensure a secure fit. Pay particular attention to the base and any load-bearing sections.
