The adventure begins with the LEGO SMART Play™: Berry Bash with Bulbasaur and Bidoof 72155. This 240-piece set is designed for interactive fun, featuring models that are 2.5 inches (6.3 cm) high, 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) wide, and 2.5 inches (6.3 cm) deep, offering a compact 3.8 sq in (24.5 sq cm) display footprint. It’s exciting to consider the possibilities these interactive elements bring to the builder.
Flipping the box, the art showcases how Bulbasaur and Bidoof integrate with their environment. Bulbasaur's back is a clever sub-assembly, and Bidoof's robust form holds hidden details. The promise of adding a SMART Brick, even if not included, opens up a new dimension of play, blending physical and digital interaction.
Here are our brick-built stars, Bulbasaur and Bidoof, in all their glory. Bulbasaur is rendered beautifully with intricate SNOT techniques creating its signature bulb. Bidoof’s sturdy, blocky build is perfect for active play. That berry station, complete with its trans-clear dome, looks ready for action, suggesting some clever play features.
These SMART Tags are the heart of the interactive experience, holding the key to bringing our Pokémon to life. Each tag uniquely identifies Bulbasaur (Grass/Poison, #0001) and Bidoof (Normal, #0399), ready to unlock their digital personalities. The crisp printing on these specialized elements is a detail that shows care in design.
The shaping of Bulbasaur here is quite clever, utilizing angled plates and curves to capture its distinct, recognizable form. The bulb on its back is a multi-part sub-assembly, showcasing how plates can be arranged to create organic, rounded shapes with great clutch power. Notice the subtle use of various blue hues for added depth.
Here, Bulbasaur is poised to interact with its environment, hinting at feeding or gathering berries. The berry station, a neat little build with a rotating element and a trans-clear bottle, creates an engaging play feature. The slender plant structure is a simple yet effective piece of greebling, adding a natural touch to the scene.
The stage is set for a friendly rivalry, perhaps over those enticing berry elements. Bidoof's robust, blocky build provides a solid base for hands-on interaction, while Bulbasaur’s slight articulation suggests movement. Those small berry accessories are excellent NPU, adding character and narrative to the scene.
This demonstrates the core mechanism for interactivity in the set. The Smart Brick, though not physically present in this set, slots into cleverly hidden compartments within both Bidoof and Bulbasaur. It’s a clean integration that doesn't disrupt the character's brick-built aesthetic, showcasing smart sub-assembly design and hidden functionality.
Once the Smart Brick is in place, the figures illuminate, creating an exciting visual effect. This vibrant glow signifies that the interactive play features are engaged. The subtle energy waves around them speak to the integrated technology, making these brick builds feel alive and responsive.
The tactile experience of inserting the Smart Brick is a key part of the play pattern, allowing builders to directly engage with the set's interactive features. Bidoof's hollow core is a testament to efficient design, ensuring the technology integrates seamlessly without compromising its brick integrity. It encourages direct participation in activating the characters.
Whether for active, imaginative play or as a static display, this set holds its own on any surface. The compact nature of these builds, particularly Bulbasaur with its SNOT-constructed bulb and Bidoof's robust form, allows for easy placement. It’s a testament to good design when a set transitions from a plaything to a proud collection piece on any builder's shelf, adding character to the room.
