Building set MATTEL MEGA Pokémon HKT26 527 pieces age 8+

This set builds Lapras, the Transport Pokémon, as a solid model approximately 7 inches tall when completed.

How to use

Follow the illustrated instruction booklet included in the package to sort pieces and assemble the model step by step. Begin by organizing components by shape and color, then proceed through the numbered build stages to construct the base, body, shell, and mechanical crank assembly. After the model is fully assembled, place it on a flat surface and turn the crank on the shell to activate the head movement and simulate swimming. Supervise younger builders as needed to assist with small or tight-fitting parts.

Usage recommendations

Use on a clean, level work surface with good lighting. Keep small parts away from children under the recommended age. Store unassembled pieces in a resealable container to avoid loss and follow local recycling guidance for packaging materials.
