Here is a cute little robot I built over lunch on Friday. Kevin of Monkey Design USA sent him as well as a few of his friends to me. These delightful little postcard papertoys are designed by Monkey Design in Taiwan who annually distributes 800,00 of these in Taiwan. Kevin started Monkey Design USA to make these little guys available in the States. So go check out
Monkey Design USA here and you can see the full line of these amazing little papertoys as well as find out were you can buy them. Better yet tell your favorite retailer they should carry 'em.
After several delays I finally got my copy of Paper Toys by Francois Chetcuti today (previously posted). I was pleasantly surprised by it. It came in a cool tin case with a great instruction book, die cut :) papertoys and some dowels, string and beads. I haven't had a chance to put any together yet, but they look like a lot of fun and each toy is a cool piece of automata. The illustration has a real vintage toy feel. Here's a pic of the back of the tin that shows all the toys. A bargain at Amazon for 23 bucks.
