Blastoise (Qiji B0109)

About this set

This is KEEPPLEY's Blastoise from the Pokémon line, set B0109, with 385 pieces on the box and a 2/5 difficulty rating, marked 6+. The finished model is Blastoise standing on a splashing-water base, built mainly in blue with yellow, brown and white picking out the belly, shell and cannons. The twin back cannons are the visual focus; build the torso and limbs first, then attach the cannons and finally the splash base, since the water parts are smaller and easier to knock loose while handling. The part count is modest and the sections are clearly divided, so younger builders can finish it with a little help, and it works as a small display piece alongside other Pokémon sets. Officially licensed, with Keeppley and Pokémon branding on the box.
