The Creation Journey

The Mechanical Jellyfish model requires assembly, enhancing the user's hands-on experience. With eight metal tentacles and six light units housed in a transparent dome, this model isn't merely a display. It's an engaging project that challenges users to construct every component from scratch.

Once assembled, the completed model can be displayed either upright or laying horizontally, depending on personal preference. The intricate assembly process guides users through connecting each tentacle, building the body, and incorporating the light units for a stunning visual effect.

To ensure a fulfilling assembly experience, BLDB provides a comprehensive 54-page Japanese manual detailing the steps required for success. It’s recommended for enthusiasts ages 14 and older, inviting them to enjoy not just the finished piece but the entire creation journey.

Transparency in Design

One particularly exciting feature of the Mechanical Jellyfish is the visibility of its internal components. The transparent dome allows for an unobstructed view of the intricate mechanical structure and lighting elements after assembly, adding an artistic touch to its design.

Why Makuake?

BLDB’s choice to launch on Makuake stems from a desire to provide a product that goes beyond just the visual appeal of a finished model. The platform facilitates a direct relationship with supporters, allowing them to appreciate the building process and all supplementary features that enhance the final experience of the Mechanical Jellyfish. Each limited return reflects an appreciation of early supporters who are crucial to the project's success.
