This document is a building instruction manual for Mega Construx Pokémon sets, specifically for the FPM10 series. It details the assembly of several Pokémon characters using building blocks.
Function Description
The Mega Construx Pokémon sets allow users to construct detailed, poseable figures of various Pokémon characters using interlocking building blocks. The primary function is to provide an engaging and creative building experience, resulting in collectible figures that can be displayed or used for imaginative play. The manual guides users through step-by-step assembly, ensuring a clear and structured building process.
Important Technical Specifications
The manual itself is a printed booklet, identified by the code FPM10. It includes a comprehensive list of parts required for each Pokémon figure, with quantities and unique part numbers (e.g., AM17003WP, AS-FPM10-07). The parts are small, indicating that the product is not suitable for children under 3 years due to a choking hazard, as clearly stated with a 0-3 warning symbol. The product is manufactured by MEGA Brands Inc. and licensed by Mattel, with intellectual property rights belonging to The Pokémon Company International, Nintendo, Creatures Inc., and GAME FREAK inc. The patent is pending (P781,964).
The manual details the assembly of at least five distinct Pokémon figures:
- Pikachu: This figure is assembled in five main steps (pages 4-8), requiring various yellow, black, and red pieces.
- Oddish (or similar plant-like Pokémon): This figure is assembled in six main steps (pages 9-12), primarily using purple and green pieces.
- Mankey (or similar monkey-like Pokémon): This figure is assembled in eight main steps (pages 13-17), using white, brown, and tan pieces.
- Sneasel (or similar dark-type Pokémon): This figure is assembled in six main steps (pages 18-23), using dark grey, red, and yellow pieces.
- Teddiursa (or similar bear-like Pokémon): This figure is assembled in eight main steps (pages 24-30), using orange, brown, and yellow pieces.
Each assembly step breaks down the construction into smaller, manageable sub-steps, often showing the required parts for that specific stage and how they connect. The part numbers provided in the initial inventory (page 2) are crucial for identifying and sorting the pieces before assembly.
Usage Features
The manual is designed for ease of use, featuring:
- Multilingual Warnings: Safety warnings are provided in multiple languages, including English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, German, Polish, Dutch, Russian, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish, Greek, Turkish, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, and Arabic, ensuring broad accessibility and understanding of safety precautions.
- Visual Step-by-Step Instructions: Each assembly stage is illustrated with clear, color-coded diagrams showing how to connect the blocks. Arrows indicate the direction of attachment or rotation where necessary.
- Part Counts per Step: Before each major assembly section, a box displays the specific parts and their quantities needed for that section, helping users prepare the correct pieces.
- Modular Assembly: Figures are built in sections (e.g., head, body, limbs) which are then combined, simplifying the overall process.
- Poseable Figures: The construction often involves ball joints and other flexible connections, allowing the completed Pokémon figures to be posed. This is evident in the final images of the assembled figures on page 31, showing them in dynamic stances.
- Collectibility: The product is part of a larger Pokémon series, encouraging users to collect and build multiple characters. The final page (page 31) showcases the completed figures, including a Poké Ball, implying it might be part of the collection or a separate build.
Maintenance Features
As a building block set, specific "maintenance" features are minimal but implied:
- Durability: The interlocking plastic blocks are designed to be durable and reusable, allowing for disassembly and reassembly.
- Cleaning: The plastic components can typically be cleaned with mild soap and water if they become dirty.
- Storage: The instructions implicitly suggest keeping the small parts organized to prevent loss, especially given the choking hazard warning. The box the set comes in would typically serve as the primary storage solution.
- Reference: The manual explicitly states, "Please read these instructions carefully before first use and keep them for future reference," indicating its importance for reassembly or troubleshooting. The website play.megaconstrux.com is provided for further support or information.
In summary, the Mega Construx Pokémon FPM10 manual provides detailed, visual instructions for assembling various Pokémon figures from building blocks, emphasizing safety, ease of use, and the collectible nature of the product.
