Puzzle Cube Papercraft Toys

Two puzzle cube papercrafts from a Japanese designer that goes by the name TOMATO.

They're very simple enough that it's not really going to be a challenge putting them together, good for kids and beginners at papercrafting ^_^

For some reason, the puzzle cube on the left reminds of a Keith Haring artwork and the one on the right is like a failed attempt at Kamikara's Gear Cube.

Hear's what they look like when you take them apart.

Just A Reminder

For those following Icthus7' Legend of Zelda Koroks papercraft series, if and when you finish the whole thing, be sure to take a photo and send it to the designer - you'll get a bonus for you hardwork.

The Koroks include Hollo, Irch, Olivio, Oakin, Makar, Linder, and Rown, the bonus is a sylph papercraft model (pic above) - Sylphs are elemental beings believed to inhabit the air and are usually female.

Just a reminder ^_^

Gundam 00: GN-001 Gundam Exia

A Gundam piloted by Setsuna F. Seiei, the GN-001 Gundam Exia is designed for melee combat, with several swords, blades, and arm shields. It was later commented in the series that the Exia is equipped with a solid metal blade in order to have the ability to cut through GN particle fields.

I could continue on with the technicalities, but that would make this review boring and inappropriate compared to how awesome this cosplay is. It must have taken weeks to make this Gundam. Very nicely done!

Bleach: Ulquiorra Schiffer and Tia Halibel

Halibel serves as the 3rd high-ranking Espada as Ulquiorra serves as the 4th. They are both quiet in nature, preferring to think before they act.

While Ulquiorra's mask can be readily seen, Halibel's mask is covered by her coat and colar. Her mask extends from her nose down to her breasts.

I didn't want to place this cosplay on either of my other 2 blogs because of the amount of skin being exposed. However, Halibel has never been portrayed so accurately, and Ulquiorra rivals the first cosplayer I featured. Excellent job!

D. Gray-man: Lenalee Lee 02

When she was young, Lenalee’s parents were killed, causing her to see the world very differently. Lenalee went insane when she was separated from her brother, Komui Lee, as she is forced to become an exorcist for having the ability to use Innocence. Her sanity was only restored when Komui became the Chinese Supervisor of the Black Order.

She makes a very cute Lenalee. I haven’t seen this anime yet, but it seems pretty popular with all the cosplays going around. I think I’ll put this on my to-watch list.

Pokemon Papercraft - Marill

Marill is an aquatic mouse Pokemon that is the evolved form of the Azurill. Marill's unique feature is its oil-filled tail-end which floats like a buoy. The tail itself is stretchable, so while the tail-end floats atop the water, the rest of its body dives underwater to feed on aquatic plants.

Marill is also one of the few Pokemon that have impermeable fur that keeps it dry even when swimming, this impermeability also allows it to swim at high speed because it lessens water resistance.

Zelda Papercraft - Sheik

Sheik is one of Princess Zelda's alter-ego in the Legend of Zelda video game series, this character appears in Ocarina of Time.

She muffles her voice, styles her hair diffrently, covers half her face, wears a form-fitting blue suit (probably have a chest plate to hide her oppai) - all to pass herself off as a Sheik (a young Sheika). Sheikas btw, are an ancient clan of ninja-like warriors that swore to protect the Hylian Royal Family, and were often referred to as the "shadows" of the Hylians.

Sheik plays the harp and helps Link learn new songs to get him through his quests. This Zelda Sheik papercraft is from Icthus7, it comes with the harp and a stand.

D. Gray-man: Allen Walker, the Crowned Clown

A young exorcist with a quiet nature, Allen Walker was abandoned by his biological parents due to his paralysis and his supposed deformity of his left arm. It is later found out that he possessed a parasitic-type of anti-akuma weapon whose true form is known as the Crowned Clown.

Allenisya sent in her photos of her cosplays as Allen Walker via Cosplay Holic. This is one of my favorite shots of her as photographed by Hexlord. You may visit her blog in Allenisya’s D.Gray-Life to see how she created her costume and her future cosplay plans!

Thanks for your contribution, Allenisya!

Here's a unique gun papercraft from the World of Warcraft, the Mark "S" Boomstick.

This gun binds when picked up and improves hit rating and critical strike rating by 18%. Attack power is also increased by 34. You'll need Froststeel Tube, Hair Trigger, Saronite Bar, and a Walnut Stock to create this gun.


It pays homage to the 1992 horror-comedy movie, Army of Darkness (Bruce Campbell), by referencing the famous "boomstick" gun scene:

Ash: Alright you Primitive Screwheads, listen up! You see this? This... is my boomstick! The twelve-gauge double-barreled Remington. S-Mart's top of the line. You can find this in the sporting goods department. That's right, this sweet baby was made in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Retails for about a hundred and nine, ninety five. It's got a walnut stock, cobalt blue steel, and a hair trigger. That's right. Shop smart. Shop S-Mart. You got that?

On the mend....

...hooray! it was good news at the hospital yesterday, my eye is improving and i can stop using most of the eye drops, phew! so over the weekend my dilated pupil should get back to normal and next week i should be able to see well enough to embroider again, yay! thank you to everyone for your well wishes, they were much appreciated and i'm glad i had good news for you all :)

...on the way back from the hospital i popped into my now favourite charity shop and found these two sets of utterly gorgeous cream enamelled knitting needles. i need to clean them up before i use them, but aren't they beautiful :)

...and here is a little teaser pic of another idea i've been working on, once i'm happy with it i'll get some more pics and show you properly ;)

...i think this weekend i'm going to treat myself to a wee shopping spree to spend my birthday pennies! how about you, what are your plans for this weekend?

Star Wars: The Clone Wars Papercraft Model Kit

This is the Star Wars: The Clone Wars Papercraft Model Kit created by Rob Valois and released by Grosset & Dunlap (Penguin.com), it's an official licensed Star Wars merchandise.

It's a hardcover book that includes three papercraft models, each with varying degrees of assembly difficulty. The Clone Trooper Helmet model is Padawan (easy) level, then you've got an R2-D2 model having a Jedi Knight (medium) level, and finally the AT-TE Walker model is a Jedi Master (hard) level.

The book has a magnetic lock on the side, a common thing that you'll often see in kids books.

All the models are pre-cut and makes use of those tab inserts, no glue and cutting necessary.

I couldn't find any ruler around when I was taking pics so I put my DS beside it for comparing the thickness and size.

For $12 bucks with free shipping, it's not bad for papercraft collectors and a great deal for Star Wars fans. This btw, is a gift - I didn't open the pattern because I want to buy a second one first (I always buy two copies), one to make/destroy and the other goes to my archive. I'll post pics of the finished models later on.
