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!

Good in the Paper 'Hood!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 26, 2011

Verified Purchase

I bought this book knowing it was used. It was in great shape, the spine showed some use, but that was to be expected, especially for a soft-cover. I am really happy with this book, and that it was packaged well to keep it safe during shipping. I would definitely buy from here again!

This is a pretty hard to find papercraft book. I was excited to find it here. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who would like to start their own army of creative paper monsters. Beware: it is highly addictive!

Cool book. I wish they would produce follow-ups. I bought this 3 times to remake several but don't like most. 2 I like are on the cover, the 3rd is a security camera that look sort of real.

Cutting them out is too challenging

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 25, 2014

Verified Purchase

My son adores paper toys! He must have made 50 of them in the last few months. These are really great designs but having to cut them out has proven to be one time-consuming and challenging step too many. Look for books that have perforated designs like Paper Toy Monsters!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 11, 2010

Verified Purchase

Very inspiring for papercraft beginners and hardcore enthusiasts. Great design ideas from many well known artists. The book comes with a CD that has printable copies of all the models in the book and blank templates of some of the designs so you can color your own. This is a great book for your urban papercraft collection.

I bought this for a young boy around 10 and he loved it! The colorful pages kept his interest going and he couldn't wait to open it up and start making all the fun stuff! I'm very glad I bought this for him and that he loves it so much!

Beautiful and Fun Book for All

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 6, 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!

Ecstatic Once I Opened the Package

It's an amazing book. I love it. Matt Hawkins is beyond talented. I look forward to his work and appreciate how helpful he is when it comes to asking for a specific toy. The book was in perfect condition and I am fully engulfed in creating all the little characters.

Fantastic Item

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on July 20, 2010

Verified Purchase

Anyone with the slightest interest in 'paper toys' will simply adore this book. Written and produced by a guy that knows his stuff, Matt Hawkins has come up trumps with a very hands on, colourful and madly addictive publication that will undoubtedly have you throwing the 'included cd' into the nearest computer, printing off (matt paper works best) the gorgeous 'flatpacks' and sitting for hours cutting, crafting and gluing to your hearts content.
Great advice, great interviews, great toys and most of all, great fun. Njoi

Absolutely splendid (if you like that sort of thing)

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on May 5, 2009

Verified Purchase

I can thoroughly recommend this book, it's the best collection of modern paper toy designs I've come across. I have to admit, though, some of them are very seriously weird. The included CD with all the designs on is a mastertouch; it means you haven't got to destroy your lovely book!

Fabulous gift for young boys and anyone who likes messing about with paper craft

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on May 13, 2011

Verified Purchase

They will need the help of a parent to cut out the pieces but this is a fabulous book, very cool, very colourful, great quality. I would definitely buy it as a gift again; in fact I am tempted to buy one for myself to do. It's an excellent and well thought out product.

What Fun

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on January 21, 2013

Verified Purchase

This is a great book especially if you love Paper Toys like I do. All you need is small sewing scissors, an extra strong glue stick(Elmer's makes a great one, called "extreme") and a ruler. It is very fine work, so you need some patience. It comes with a CD of all the projects, plus more. If you like paper toys, and are crafty you will love this book. Kids over 12 would have a great time working with the book. as well. It would make a great Birthday or Christmas present. This is the second time I have purchared it, and am enjoying it as much this tme as I did the first time.
