Coming with 1095 bricks, once fully constructed, you&#8217;ll be able to move Pikachu&#8217;s legs using the mechanised, hand-activated crank!<\/p>\n<p>The attention to detail here is stellar. We love the little round red cheeks that just make us was to rub them, and the added electricity coming from them really just adds to the cuteness factor. This &#8216;mon comes in at just over 22.5cm long (under 9 inches) when all put together, so it&#8217;ll make a nice shelf item for sure!<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a peek at what this little yellow mouse will look like when he&#8217;s all built:<\/p>\n<aside class=\"gallery\"><figcaption class=\"caption\"><em class=\"credit\">Images: <a class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/shop.mattel.com\/products\/mega-pokemon-motion-pikachu-building-set-hgc23\">The Pok\u00e9mon Company \/ Mattel<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/aside>\n<p>Look, we love him, okay?
