Summary

  • Pokemon releases new Nanoblock models, including Pawmi, Tandemaus, & Clodsire from the Paldea region.
  • Nanoblocks are micro-sized building blocks similar to LEGO, and popular collector items for fans.
  • Kawada Toys sells the Nanoblock sets for 2420 JPY ($15.60) in Japan only, with no international shipping available.

The popular game series, Pokemon, and the Japanese toy store Kawada Toys have added three new creatures from the Paldean region to their Nanoblock collection. These miniature building blocks are similar to LEGO bricks but are smaller and unique to Kawada in Japan, while being distributed by Ohio Art Company in the U.S. Nanoblocks have been a favorite among Pokemon collectors since they were introduced in 2013, and now three more creatures – Pawmi, Tandemaus, and Clodsire – are set to join the collection.

As a die-hard gamer, I’ve always been captivated by the enduring appeal of Pokemon, whether it’s the upcoming video game series sensation like Pokemon Legends: Z-A, the thrill of collecting cards in the current Prismatic Evolutions expansion, or getting lost in the anime adventures of Pokemon Horizons: The Series. But what sets Pokemon apart is its far-reaching influence beyond games and TV. This franchise has a diverse merchandise empire that’s as lucrative as it is extensive. From Nanoblocks to Funko Pop figures, clothes, lifestyle accessories, and more – including the latest addition, a life-sized Gardevoir plushie from The Pokemon Center – Pokemon has truly become an integral part of my gaming and everyday life.

On February 1, 2025, Kawada Toys unveiled three new additions to their Nanoblock series: Pawmi, Tandemaus, and Clodsire. At the moment, these sets are exclusively available for purchase within Japan, with no international shipping options. Each set typically contains around 400 pieces, with the level of complexity varying based on the design of the associated Pokemon, mirroring the intricacy found in a devoted Pokemon fan’s Groudon Nanoblock. Each Nanoblock retails for 2420 JPY ($15.60) and can be purchased by Japanese residents through the Kawada Toys website. For enthusiasts residing outside of Japan, it’s suggested to check out local hobby stores that carry these imports.

Enthusiastic Pokémon admirers have showcased their remarkable Nanoblock assortments previously, demonstrating that this pastime enjoys widespread appeal among aficionados and collectors. Upon the unveiling of the fresh trio, Twitter users immediately expressed their approval for the adorable newcomers, with several expressing interest in assembling them as decorative pieces. Furthermore, one fan even urged for a Paldean Wooper to be incorporated in the next batch. Moreover, Nanoblock devotees were taken aback by the manufacturer’s skillful replication of each Pokémon’s unique traits using the available blocks.

2021 marked the 25th anniversary of the Pokemon franchise, during which they showcased a collection of Nanoblock models highlighting original creatures from the Kanto region. This expansion adds to their existing 13 series. The range currently encompasses the three starters – Charmander, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle – from the cherished Game Boy games, as well as iconic figures like Pikachu, various Eevee transformations, and legendary birds such as Moltres, Articuno, and Zapdos.
