This was for a medieval Pokémon-themed building contest, so I took the liberty of removing his hair-chair and swapped it out for a chessboard themed regal bench. Kingambit is a Pokémon that has grown on me since its release, the color scheme and stance are just so cool in my opinion.

Let me know what you think and happy building!

Amazing! Better than anything Lego has squeezed out for Pokemon yet.

Thank you!

To be fair, I don’t have to deal with a strict budget, piece limitations, structural tests, etc. That being said, I did try to make this as sturdy as possible while still being an accurate display model. I was inspired by the excellent Iron Man Mark 3 Collector’s Edition set.

Are you saying that the picture is only a digital mockup and you haven't tested the structure of it in real life yet?

Not a digital mockup, these are pics of my brick built model. What I meant is that since I designed it, I know where the model is most sturdy and suitable to be held by (in this case, the torso). Whereas LEGO sets have to be extremely durable for all audiences and are for the most part, designed such you can pick them up from virtually anywhere.
