LEGO 43186 Bruni the Salamander Buildable Character 

LEGO Audio & Braille Building Instructions for the LEGO Disney set "Bruni the Salamander Buildable Character".

Discover and charm an adorable creature! Bruni, a feisty fire spirit from Disney’s "Frozen 2" who spreads his flame when tensions rise, loves cooling off with Elsa’s magic. Show him you’re a friend, then have some fun. Chase snowflakes or toast marshmallows by a cozy fire. Go on adventures with the cute salamander and discover his identity as the elemental fire spirit from the Enchanted Forest!

In the very center of the box cover, there is our little hero Bruni in the middle of the Enchanted Forest. The salamander is shown from the side looking right. His mouth is open as he is trying to catch the beautiful ice blue snowflake that is floating right in front of his snout, and he seems to be wiggling with joy. Bruni is different shades of blue and lilac with a large pale purple diamond on his back and three small pale purple diamonds on his head. Bruni has big ice blue eyes and a pink tongue. In the bottom right corner of the box cover, there is an image of Elsa in her ice blue dress and Anna in her dark purple cape. In the background on the left, there is a crackling campfire; 1 marshmallow on a stick is already slowly toasting in the cozy fire, and another one is waiting for you. The fire's flame is red, but its tips are bright purple, so it must be Bruni's doing! Centered at the bottom of the box, there is the ice blue Disney Logo on a white background and the "FROZEN II" writing beneath it.

Open the box. This can be tricky; ask someone to help you!

The box contains a booklet with visual building instructions, and two plastic bags.

Carefully open both plastic bags, but before you start building, ask a sighted person to help you sort the pieces by color. This makes finding the correct pieces even easier!

First, we will build the Bruni buildable character.

Repeat symmetrically on the front row.

Find 2 dark azure blue wedge plates 2x2 with 45° corner and 3 knobs.

Put 1 on the back row, cut-off corner to the back left.

This can be a bit tricky to mount. Listen carefully!

Turn it horizontally so that the side tube is on the right front. Then push the side tube onto the connector peg at the right.

If done correctly, you will be able to open and close this piece just like a mouth!

The inverted curve disk is printed with Bruni's eye: it is ice blue with a large black pupil.

Time to mount the eyeball: turn the structure upside down. This means the clasp and the roof tile are pointing to the bottom.

Put the eyeball on top on the left side.

Bruni's first eye is finished! Well done! To mount it, snap the clasp of the eye on the downward hook at the front side of the head.

Now, let's make the second eye.
