Product Description

Join the Papertoy Revolution!

This is a collection of 26 of the coolest designer paper toys in existence, ready to be cut out and built. Each papertoy has step-by-step instructions, complete with easy-to-use diagrams, so even a novice will be able to make amazing papertoys with the help of a pair of scissors and a few dabs of glue.

Interviews with contributors such as Shin Tanaka, Ben the Illustrator, NiceBunny, Cubotoy and Kenn Munk are included. You’ll find out more about where their ideas came from—and they might even inspire you to create your own papertoy! In addition, there is a foreword by Andy Heng from www.toysrevil.net.

The DVD includes lots of bonus features, such as all 26 toy templates in PDF format (so you can build cities full of papertoys); basic shapes (so you can learn the building blocks of papertoys); blank templates (so you can create your own “skin”); longer, unabridged interviews with all the designers in the book; and 33 bonus templates.

So grab your scissors, your glue and your imagination, and get ready to enter an inspiring new world of papertoys!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful book, September 20, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I have only recently gotten into the whole "papercraft" world, but this book has fully launched me over the edge. Interesting interviews and great papercraft projects all the way around. The template disk is also fantastic. These are truly some creative individuals!

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful and Fun Book for All, April 5, 2009
My son was very excited to get this book. It is everything he could have dreamed of! Beautiful and exciting color paper toy templates and great interviews with the artists. The templates range from fairly simple to extremely complex. The interviews are short and interesting. Super fun for everybody!

5.0 out of 5 stars Welcome to the world of paper craft., April 9, 2009
I have been in the custom paper toy community for almost a year now and this is an outstanding collection of the greatest urban paper crafters the world has to offer.

Matt Hawkins did an excellent job compiling the works of all the great artists and the included interviews gives you some hindsight of what goes into these creations and the lives of the artists. This book goes out and gives you the introduction to paper crafting and tutorials as to building the provided toys and suggestions on creating your own. I love that the book comes with the bonus dvd so I do not have to cut up this book.

Hopefully in the future there will be a sequel and my skills will will be advanded enough to be asked to submit an entry.
