Golden Kamuy Papercraft

I really love the simple style of this chibi papercraft. However, I didn't know a thing about the Golden Kamuy manga / anime on which the papercraft is based. I had to dig some. What I found is Golden Kamuy follows the exploits of a Japanese veteran in the early years of the 20th century. The veteran's name is Saichi Sugimoto. This papercraft is of one of Sugimoto's antagonists in the series, Hyakunosuke Ogata. Villians Wiki describes Ogata as "a lone sniper, loyal only to himself." The PDF template and instructions for this papercraft may be downloaded at Muumin Craft. If the sniper rifle is not to your liking, alternate props for the figure include a rose and a coffee mug.

These paper toys are of the major Doraemon characters: Doraemon, Dorami, Nobita, Shizuka, Suneo, and Takeshi. With the exception of Doraemon himself, templates for the characters are available here. Maybe if enough people bug the creator of these toys he will re-post the Doraemon template so we can have a complete set. ;)

Naruto Papercraft: Sage Mode Jiraiya

This Sage Mode Jiraiya paper model is an outstanding example of Korean papercraft. Jiraiya is a character in the Naruto animated television show which is based on a popular Japanese manga. Jiraiya is a Toad Sage, that is he has been trained by toads in the use of their secret arts. In battle, just before entering the altered state of Sage Mode, Jiraiya summons two elder toads to assist him with their abilities. The elder toads on Jiraiya's shoulders are my two favorite parts of this model. ^^ The template for this model includes the amazingly realistic rocky base shown in the photo. To download the template, go here. I would give credit to this talented designer, but unfortunately I am unable to translate the Korean. :(

Saint Seiya Papercraft #1: Odin Statue

The Saint Seiya anime television series was popular around the world in the late 80's but wasn't aired in the US until 2003. Based on a Japanese manga series, the storyline of the show follows the exploits of mystical warriors called "saints" who fight for the goddess Athena in her struggle to protect Earth from other gods in the Greek pantheon. In the "Asgard" story arc of the show the saints encounter characters from Norse mythology. This papercraft Odin statue by French papercrafter, Moustagua, is presumably based on an image from this particular story arc. Odin is king of the Norse gods much like Zeus is in the Greek pantheon. With instructions in French, the PDF template may be downloaded at the bottom of Moustagua's page here.
