Inspired by Pokemon trading cards, a fan has created an extremely detailed, three-dimensional version from LEGO bricks, and this MOC looks brilliant.
LEGO builderTakamichi Iriehas turned to LEGO to reimagine a Pokemon playing card in brick format. The three-dimensionalLEGO MOCis exceptionally detailed, with both the front and rear of the brick-built card featuring an array of unique elements referencing the game.
Fixed atop a stand, which adds to the display value of this LEGO MOC, the face of the card features a Pokémon and intricately assembled vegetation. The pixelated-looking background is impressive. A neat addition to the build, the top of the card features the Pocket Monster’s name (what we know asChikoritain the west), spelled out in Japanese. Those with a keen eye will notice the addition of a Bionicle mask.
However, if you thought the intricate detailing of this build was exclusive to the front of the card, you’d be mistaken. The rear design is spectacular.
Reminiscent of originalPokemon cards, the back of the build features aPoke Balland Pokemon lettering above and below the latter, also a three-dimensional item. Just like the front, the rear side features a pixelated background. In addition, there are seven transparent balls to represent the various types of Pokémon.
However, the impressive detailing doesn’t end there. Takamichi Irie has also included several items on the side of the card. These are reminiscent ofMaster Balls, Ultra Balls, Pokémon Guides, Magic Candies, Elixir, and Medicine.
