Quick answer
Start by sorting the pieces by color and size, then follow the numbered bag sequence to build the stage, instruments, and Squishmallows figures Emily, Gordon, and Jarik.
Why the Squish Tour set is different from other building sets
Unlike standard block sets, the Squishmallows Squish Tour Concert Building Set includes SquishBrik technology that gives the figures a soft, squishable belly. This means you need to handle the belly pieces with care during assembly to avoid damaging the flexible material.
The set also features a stage with working spotlights and indoor fireworks elements, so pay extra attention to the light brick installation step to ensure it functions correctly.
Step-by-step building instructions
- Sort the pieces by bag and color: Open all numbered bags and sort pieces into small containers or trays by color and size. Keep the SquishBrik belly pieces separate to avoid mixing them with standard bricks. Sorting prevents frustration later—missing a small piece in a pile is the most common mistake.
- Build the stage base and backdrop: Follow the instructions for bag 1 to construct the main stage platform and the backdrop with the concert logo. Ensure all bricks are pressed firmly together so the stage is stable. Check that the backdrop is square before adding the next layer—crooked bases cause wobbling later.
- Install the light brick and fireworks: Insert the light brick into the designated slot on the stage. Test it by pressing the button before covering it with the transparent dome piece. Attach the fireworks elements to the sides. If the light doesn't work, remove the brick and check the battery tab—it's often left in place during packaging.
- Assemble the instruments and accessories: Build the microphone, guitar, and drum set using the pieces from bag 2. Attach them to the stage in the marked positions. Make sure the guitar neck is aligned correctly so it doesn't fall off. Double-check the orientation of the drumsticks—they're easy to put in backward.
- Build the Squishmallows figures: Assemble Emily, Gordon, and Jarik one at a time. Press the SquishBrik belly piece gently into the torso—do not force it. Attach the heads, arms, and legs at the ball joints. If a limb feels loose, swap it with another figure's limb—sometimes a slight size variation fixes the fit.
- Display and pose the scene: Place the figures on the stage in your desired poses. Use the included stands if the figures won't stay upright. Add Maui's Skatepark set nearby for a combined concert-and-skatepark display. The figures can stand without stands on flat surfaces, but the stands help during active play.
