I spotted these really cool papercraft robots on some dude’s livejournal and had to find out a little more, mainly as to why they sound like they might be a painful case of groin growths. There’s some info over at the Paperoid website – such as all the different robots available, what their skillsets are – in classic not-quite-there translation from Japanese to English. There’s even an untranslatable comic about the Paperoids available, which I highly recommend if you like to be confused beyond confusion itself whilst looking at trance-inducing colours. The models themselves are cunningly crafted into a handful of coloured tubes, that once cut and bent as directed turn into the mighty little paper robots.
You can grab some of the characters in the UK from twentytwentyone, here is Muscle Jaw, you can find others using searching prowess.
