Tetris Papercraft

Tetris (Тетрис) is considered by many as one of the greatest videogames of all time, since it's inception in 1984 by Alexey Pajitnov (Russian computer engineer) it has gone through a lot of variations and has been available in many video game consoles, PC's, PDAs, portable media players, mobile phones, and even graphing calculators. Another interesting fact about Tetris is that it became very popular and highly successful when it was released through the Nintendo Game Boy handheld system as a pack-in title. So, to give homage to one of the great video games ever created, here's a Tetris papercraft from Japanese designer Hiyochico, who's also designed the Catbus papercraft that has been previously posted here. Enjoy!

Anime Robot Papercraft

Here's a good-looking cat robot for you guys. I'm not really sure though if this character came from a cartoon, an anime or a video game. The card model comes with 5 pages of un-colored parts that you have to print on colored paper stock. The color theme depends on you. I will go the hard way of coloring them manually.

Samurai Cow Papercraft

Here's a unique looking papercraft, it's a cow character suited up in the a traditional Japanese armor and helmet riding on top of a giant fish. I couldn't understand what my translator was saying, it's got something to do with a Japanese celebration for the month of May? In any case, I can tell you that this is from the Mansei Co., Ltd. based in Kanda, Tokyo. The company went through a lot of phases to get to where it is now, it started as an electronics store, then became a restaurant selling high-grade meats, and currently as a luxury dining establishment - specializing in beef and beef related dishes.

They've got some other cute papercrafts, dioramas, and origami models on their site that you should check out, of course, all of them have the familiar cow theme to them. On their homepage, click on the "mansei club" icon to see the goods.

Toro Papercraft

I'm a bit late on this one, but Toro (井上トロ) aka. Sony Cat, Sony Computer Entertainment's cute and lovable fictional character celebrated it's birthday last May 6. And with that celebration they've put up an official papercraft model for it, there's a lot of other good versions floating around the net, but this one is probably the best one to date.

For those in the dark, you've probably seen Toro at some point in your life but you might have thought it was a Hello Kitty knock-off. It's an anthropomorphic white cat with an over-size head, triangular ears, rectangular body, and a variety of facial expressions. It first came to life way back in 1999 as a video game character in the game Doko Demo Issyo ("Together Everywhere") for the PocketStation, if you missed that one because it was ages ago, another version of the game was released for the PSP back in 2004. You can browse around their web site (Japanese) for some fun flash games, wallpapers, and some other good stuff related to Toro or you can check out the links below to go straight to the Toro papercraft model. Have fun kids.

Harvest Moon Papercraft

Harvest Moon is probably the most addicting game that I've come across. I have played it on different platforms like SNES, gameboy color & advance, N64 and playstation. The game will never be complete without the dog and of course, the cows. These animal papercrafts are very easy to build with only a page of parts each.

Xbox 360 Papercraft + HD-DVD

So, with E3 winding down today, I've ended up with a deluge of downloaded game demos, trailers (in HD), and some themes - I've pretty much downloaded everything in the marketplace that's E3 '07 related, my XB360 is nearing full capacity. I've started to test out some of the demos so I could start deleting them afterwards, one game in particular that I've been playing over and over was Blue Dragon (ブルードラゴン), designed by Final Fantasy creator, Hironobu Sakaguchi. After about four hours of repeatedly playing the demo, my XB360 croaked, and gave me the very infamous RROD. Luckily Microsoft recently extended the warranty on it by 3 years, so I'll be missing it for a few days.



In relation to my sad story, here's an Xbox 360 papercraft from Sonicscape / Pimpinthe36o/Paperartgadgets blog, I did the base model only but you can check out their site for more creative designs, also included is the Xbox 360 HD-DVD player. Have fun.

Famicom Papercraft

The Famicom, also known as the Nintendo Family Computer, was one of the earlier consoles that reminds me of my childhood spending long hours with my dad and my brother playing Super Mario Bros., Donkey Kong, Twin Bee, 1942, Lode Runner, Contra, and many more. It's still fresh in my memory, the days when we fight over who gets the first controller, (sigh), those were the days. Ok, enough of my reminiscing, here's a Famicom papercraft model from dfnt.net, quite simple to build, it's boxy so it's pretty straight forward. Cut, score, fold, and glue then wait for that induced feeling of nostalgia.
