In the Hellraiser movies, the Lament Configuration is a puzzle cube that when solved opens a gateway to a hell-like dimension. Philip Lemarchand is the fictional creator of the cube. There have been other papercraft Hellraiser cubes, but this the first I know of that has pieces that can be rearranged. The template for the cube was created by Destro2k and may be downloaded here. If you are in the mood to build something easier, there is a simple six sided version of the cube included in the download.

Printable Marvel Jumping Jack Toys

A jumping jack is a jointed paper toy character attached to a string such that when the string is pulled the character appears to be jumping. M. Gulan has created a whole slew of Marvel Comics jumping jacks including Captain America, The Hulk, Iron Man, Thor, Black Widow, Spider-Man, and Wolverine (not pictured). PDF templates for each of the heroes may be downloaded here. I don't know, maybe it's just me, but Black Widow and Spidey look like they could use a few jumping jacks. They may have put on a little extra weight since the last time I saw them. ;)
