Futurama Papercraft: Bender

One of the most popular characters on the Futurama animated series is a robot named Bender. Bender is a high-tech robot, Unit 22 from a series of bending robots manufactured by Mom's Friendly Robot Company. Bender's personality is much like that of an alcoholic, chain-smoking gambler. This papercraft model of Bender was created by Pedro Seidel and may be downloaded here.

Butterfly Ball Origami

From Jill Britton's website:

"Kenneth Kawamura's butterfly ball is a deceptive (origami) action model. Assembled from twelve water bomb bases, it forms a complex and pleasing geometric shape known as a cubohemioctahedron. The assembly is stable when resting on a surface. However toss it in the air and give it a light smack to see it explode into a cloud of butterflies which flutter prettily to earth. For this reason, it is also referred to as a butterfly bomb."

Instructions for this exploding origami may be downloaded here. Also available are printable patterns to make the individual pieces of the ball look like actual butterflies.

Paper Toy Alphabet

From Digiprop: "A papercraft alphabet – 26 fine templates to print out, fold and glue into letters. Each one represents a thing (or animal, or people) starting with that letter.  In addition to being nice little toys... you can write all kinds of nice messages with them, such as ‘I love you’ or ‘Please pay the rent ASAP’…"  ^^ The PDF templates for the letters may be downloaded here.

Futurama Pizza Paper Toy

This paper toy is of a Panucci's Pizza box as it appears in the animated television show Futurama. The main character of the show is Philip J. Fry, who in 1999 works as a pizza delivery boy for Panucci's. This is the fifth in my ongoing pizza paper toy series. The pizza inside this one is a barbecue chicken pizza with onions.

Previous Pizzas in the Series:
Disney World Pizza (cheese)
Domino's Pizza (green pepper and black olive)
Darth Maul Pizza (pepperoni)
McDonald's Pizza (supreme)

UPDATE 2/17/21: Sorry, I am no longer offering this papercraft due to the Futurama copyright folks having a problem with it. :(
