    My nephew left a Pikachu behind the last time he came over. I put it somewhere "safe."

    If you need a video to transform, please sell him. You shouldn’t own one.

    There is some assembly required when you first get him, but after that, there really isn't any parts forming. The head can stay on for transformation unless you want to display it separately. Even the ring/wings can stay on, although it is much easier to take those off for transformation and then plug them back in to the same ports. You never have to take parts off and plug them into different spots for transformation like true parts-formers.

    It’s pretty simple when you think about it. Hasbro’s video is painful with all the things they don’t click fully into place. They also skip the hardest part: fitting it onto the stand in the first place.

    What now? The instructions that Hasbro provided wasn't really that intuitive. So, yes, most people who are having issues with the manual should be able to use a video.

    There were so many mistakes my head was spinning, but that was definitely the worst.

    The videos always help. Im watching a bunch of vids before I even attempt it. Ive had mine in planet mode for a week. On a side note, why is she wearing a mask in a room by herself ?

    Transformed him tonight with no instructions and no removing the wings. No problem. It’s not that hard when you just stare at it for days and think really hard about how to do it better than the instructions.
