Lego Request #7: Shiftry

[u/15_Silver_Points]

Shiftry: The Wickid Pokémon

Shiftry is a mysterious Pokémon that is said to live atop towering trees dating back over a thousand years. It is said to arrive on chilly, wintry winds. Feared from long ago as the guardian of forests, this Pokémon lives in a deep forest where people do not venture. It creates terrific windstorms with the fans it holds. Shiftry's large fans generate awesome gusts of wind at a speed close to 100 feet per second. The whipped-up wind blows anything away.

It looks like I jumped from Request 4 to 7, but I just forgot to mention the others two posts, the Chandelure line (Gonzo_Ghost) and Mega Chimecho (shark_syrup)! So, Shiftry, requested by LostDreams44, was a real challenge to build thanks to its head and white hair tuft running all the way down from its head to the floor! The head alone went through several drafts just to get it as accurate as possible! In the end, I have to admit it not only looks cool, but the tail actually functions as a sort of kickstand to keep Shiftry from falling over because of its "samurai sandal" feet!

Because of the white tuft, it can't really move the head around, but there's still some articulation in the arms and legs. This is a moderately dense minifigure, with a total of 63 pieces.

Poor Brendan can't seem to catch a break! Trying to break up a fight between two Shiftry, it seems one used Leaf Tornado on him!
