Monkey Papercraft

I've professed my love for all things Monkey here before (especially ones with funny hats) but this one really takes the cake, he's cheeky, he's got a banana and he comes in a variety of super colors!

thanks Bridget!

Sonic Papercraft

Wow, Sonic the Hedgehog is 15 years old, oh man that makes me feel like a videogame oldie!

Street Fighter Papercraft

The marvellous Funny Character Cafe, a fantastic site for Papercraft aficionados has had an update since I last visited and added a spectacular Ken Papercraft, if you don't know who Ken is go to local video arcade, find a steetfighter game, choose the guy with blonde hair and the red outfit and bash the crap out your enemies. Ryu has nothing on this guy.

Robosquare Ifbot Papercraft

From the Robosquare papercraft site...

In the last decade or more, the primary use of robots has been in the industrial sector. In the near future, robots are increasingly expected to play an important role in our daily lives. Some of these areas will include the home, workplace, search and rescue at disaster sites, work that is deemed too hazardous where a human life would be at risk. In the health care sector, taking care of patients, aiding in complex operations, and giving a feeling of comfort and ease. Robots are expected to play an important role in helping to cope with future labor shortages, in accordance with the issues of the growing low birthrate and increased longevity in society.

I am eagerly awaiting the day that I have my own robot that builds papercraft, does the dishes and level grinds in japanese roleplaying games. I'm not sure if the Ifbot does these things but he does look adorable, that's close enough for me.

You can grab a very cool papercraft of the Ifbot here

Yoshitaka Amano

Pretty much nothing to do with Papercraft at all, but still deserving a link is the fantastic art of Yoshitaka Amano, this guy is character designer extradionare for Square working on everything from early Final Fantasy games through to Front Mission and so much more, my favourite artist ever!

Check out his official site....

R-Type Final Papercraft

Something that's lacking in my game collection is a good japanese space shooter, so you can imagine my glee when I found out about R-Type Final! and according to this website Blue Man Group are doing a song for it, WTF?

There of course is also some wonderful R-Type Papercraft on the official Japanese site for you to download!

Moogle Papercraft

My very favorite reoccuring character/race from final fantasy (they even made an appearance in Kingdom Hearts) The Moogle or Mog as some call them, their first appearance of course was in Final Fantasy 3, from the Wikipedia....

Moogles are called "Moguri" in Japan. A portmanteau of the words "mogura" and "koumori" (mole and bat, respectively). This is fitting as moogles tend to have small eyes and red/purple wings.

Of course! it all makes sense now.

Anime Inspired Papercraft

Check out this Bad Boy, I don't know if he is from an actual anime or a character someone has made themselves, I can imagine him flying an airship in some JRPG and making snide remarks about the androgenous lead character.

Cute Korean Papercraft

I don't know what to make of this one, it seems like a Beefeater (you know those guys that don't flinch when you talk to them and guard Buckingham Palace) but he is small and adorable and riding a toy horse with wheels. It defies explanation really.

Frankenstein Papercraft

Gundam Papercraft

Giant robots are the best! I dont' know if you are aware of Einstein's famous saying "I don't know what weapons will be used in world war three, but in world war four people will use sticks and stones" Dude, giant robots will be used and they will kick ass.

Gamecube Papercraft

In my humble opinion a lot of folks slept on the gamecube this console generation, yeah it didn't have the same amount of games as the ps2 but there were some classics, Pikmin, Animal Crossing and the ever wonderful Super Smash Bros. In celebration of the grape box here's a gamecube papercraft to build and show your friends: yeah I like the gamecube, so what?

Grab it here, (scroll down and you will see the link) enjoy!

Paper Camera

Found this lovely link via BoingBoing, a very neat little pinhole camera made from paper for you to download, build and take photos with! Who needs an overpriced, over-featured digital camera when you can build one out of paper for free?

Front Mission Papercraft

I love Square Enix, ok I didn't love Final Fantasy X-2, it gives me shivers just thinking about the time I did put into it but the squenix ones seem to be all about redeeming themselves lately (see dragonquest VIII) and this papercraft is for an interesting upcoming game called Front Mission 4 You can grab the very intense looking papercraft mech here which is great. My only problem was the format a .lzh file, I've seen this before, perhaps its big in Japan? who knows, after asking google about it the big G spat out this result, give it a crack kids...

Here's the link.

Ghostbusters Papercraft

I always loved that car from Ghostbusters, actually I loved pretty much everything about Ghostbusters, if news came of Ghostbusters 3 and Bill Murray was on board I would explode within 30 seconds. Fingers crossed.

You can download the very cool Ghostbusters car here....

Quake Papercraft

The very clever Captain Nod has created a couple of fantastic old school Quake papercrafts. These babys come packed with about as many polygons as the original 3d characters would have had in game, that Shambler guy used to give me the hella creeps, reminds me of my geeky teen years playing this and thinking man graphics can't get much better than this!

Harvest Moon Papercraft

What could be better than a game where you farm and find a nice girl to marry? Forget your Halo 3, 360, GTA bloodlust killing spree with 10 squillion polygons at 1.5 trillion frames per second. I want a game that brings a smile to my face not a red faced tizzy fit.

Get some Harvest Moon Papercraft and whistle a happy tune.
