Spotting anything life-sized from the Pokemon universe out in the real world likely makes for an amazing experience for many fans of the franchise. With Pokemon being fictional and found only within anime, video games, and movies, the members of the fan base would probably appreciate the chance to imagine what life would be like if Pokemon actually existed in the real world. Recently, some Pokemon fans were inspired to produce their version of a life-sized Charmander sculpture, although they used LEGO bricks as their main medium.
With so many kinds of bricks and pieces, LEGO is often utilized by plenty of enthusiastic builders to make anything their minds can think of. The geek community likely appreciates the variety offered by LEGO, which allows them to recreate their favorite spots, scenes, and characters from beloved fandoms. Pokemon fans are no exception to this. Many have already used LEGO to reproduce their favorite pocket creatures, characters, popular settings and regions in the Pokemon universe, and more.
On Reddit, an account with the username brickerbuilds shared their life-sized LEGO sculpture of the Fire-type Kanto region starter Charmander. The post only featured a short video of the LEGO sculpture without giving any details about the production process. Despite the lack of information, Pokemon fans will likely appreciate the impressive size of the Charmander statue. The bright orange bricks used for the sculpture's body as well as the other distinct colors used for the minor details seem to truly reflect the Pokemon's well-known features.
Upon checking brickerbuilds' other social media channels, research shows that Bricker Builds is a group of lifelong LEGO fans composed of artists and designers. The group's goal is to provide highly detailed instruction manuals that will allow fans to recreate pop culture and video game icons using LEGO bricks. The group offers buyers the choice to purchase just the instruction manual or to also include the LEGO pieces needed to complete their chosen project.
As of writing, Bricker Builds has yet to upload the official instruction manual for the life-sized LEGO Pokemon sculpture they have posted on social media channels. Given that the group has only recently posted about the statue, it may take a while for fans to be able to purchase the manual needed to make a the LEGO Charmander sculpture on their own. Hopefully Pokemon fans can patiently wait and stay tuned to Bricker Builds' official channels so that they can purchase the project manual as soon as it is uploaded on their online shop.
