Summary
- A Pokemon fan shares a creative LEGO Volcarona design, gaining attention on Reddit.
- The custom design includes a base and stand for the Pokemon, and the builder has shared the instructions on Rebrickable.
- The anticipation for official Pokemon LEGO sets grows as fans create and share their own imaginative designs.
One Pokemon fan has reimagined what Volcarona would look like as a LEGO set, achieving an impressive result. The Pokemon Company recently announced an official collaboration with LEGO, teasing kits based on popular pocket monsters from the franchise. While Pokemon fans will have to wait for these official sets to launch, some have made their own custom designs and shared them with the community.
Given the popularity of the Pokemo n franchise, fan art has become incredibly popular. While some fans enjoy drawing concepts of potential new forms and types for Pokemon, others put a LEGO spin on their projects. Unsurprisingly, famous creatures like Pikachu and Charizard often become the subject of these designs. However, some fans like to create eye-catching builds featuring some of the other hundreds of pocket monsters in the franchise, such as Volcarona.
A LEGO Pokemon Game Could Take the Best Features from One Popular Fan Game
If The Pokemon Company ever gets the opportunity to make a LEGO Pokemon game, it should take some inspiration from a popular fan-made mod.
One of these fans who recently showcased their LEGO design prowess was green-73 on Reddit. In a post, they shared their incredible Volcarona build, replicating the striking design of the Gen 5 Pokemon. According to the shared instructions on Rebrickable, green-73 used 202 unique parts in the build, with the total bricks being 1,075. Impressively, the Reddit user utilized a wide selection of colors to match the vibrant design of the Pokemon. Adding to the design, they built a stand to suspend the LEGO Volcarona and included a brightly colored base.
Pokemon Fan's LEGO Version of Volcarona
So far, many fans on the franchise’s subreddit have praised the design, with the post gaining several hundred upvotes. In the comments, a couple of fans appreciated the Volcarona choice, saying it was their favorite Pokemon. It is worth pointing out that this design is only the latest from green-73. Besides Volcarona, they have shared LEGO versions of Buzzwole, Stakataka, and even Mega Rayquaza, each having an impressive level of detail.
In addition to being impressive in their own right, these fan-made LEGO versions of Pokemon evidence the anticipation the fandom has for official sets. Unfortunately, little is known about the collaboration between The Pokemon Company and LEGO. The announcement video included a LEGO version of Pikachu’s tail, suggesting it could be featured. However, it is hard to tell what other Pokemon could star in their own sets.
While fans wait for more news about official Pokemon LEGO sets, some will likely continue to create their own custom designs. Hopefully, they will produce more creations as impressive as green-73’s Volcarona.
