In addition to the multi-pack battle scenes<\/a>, the Pokemon Mega Construx<\/i> line features multiple series of single-packed Pokemon - including everybody's new favorite, Mimikyu.<\/p>\n

A lonely Pokémon, it conceals its terrifying appearance beneath an old rag so it can get closer to people and other Pokémon.<\/i><\/p>\n

That is seriously the cutest thing ever: Mimikyu is a ghost\/fairy type Pokemon who disguises itself<\/a> as Pikachu<\/a> so that people will want to be its friend. Precious! It carries a bent stick to simulate Pikachu's tail, but since it doesn't have any (visible) arms or legs, its only articulation is a swivel for the faux tail and a balljoint for the head. Still better than papercraft<\/a>, though. The body is beige instead of yellow, and the tail is completely brown.<\/p>\n

Mimikyu is built from 16 pieces. Its head is constructed exactly like Pikachu's was, and it even uses the same ears. Well, \"ear\": one of them is bent, rather than straight. Its face looks like it was drawn on with crayons, which is accurate to the design: big swirly eyes, a jagged black line for the mouth, and red cheeks. There are two smaller dots on his chest - those are the eyeholes Mimikyu actually looks through.<\/p>\n

The single-packed Pokemon Mega Construx<\/i> are cleverly sold inside pokéballs. To help set each series apart on the shelf, the specific style of ball changes. Series 3, of which Mimikyu is a part, comes in a white ball with a red stripe - a Premier Ball, which has the same stats and capture rate as a regular ball, \"but it looks cooler.\" Studs on the top and the interior allow you to display your Pokemon, and it can be stored inside without disassembling it.<\/p>\n
