During my work on the Imaginarium paper theater, I came to appreciate paper theaters as an art form. I especially like the 3D effects the theaters are capable of achieving. This fairy tale paper theater is a good example. Through the two archways, Cinderella is seen leaving behind her glass slipper while the prince and his castle are glimpsed in the distance. The scenery in the theater can be changed to also show scenes from Little Red Riding Hood, Hansel and Gretel, Puss in Boots, and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
The template for this theater was originally offered in the 1920's by the Danish language magazine Familie-Journal. Patricia M at the Agence Eureka blog has scans of the four page template starting here (the other pages may be viewed by clicking on the thumbnails). The build photo above is by Patrick Pasques.
Disney has added two more light cycles to their collection of 3D Tron papercraft! On top is Kevin Flynn's personal light cycle, said in the Tron: Legacy movie to be "the fastest on the grid". Below that is the light cycle belonging to Flynn's archenemy, CLU. The templates for the light cycles may be downloaded here and here. Previous official Tron papercraft by Disney included Sam Flynn's light cycle and a recognizer.

From Illustrator Von Glitschka comes a humorous paper toy for the holidays: the 4th Not So Wiseman. As the story goes...
You've heard of the three wisemen, but never the fourth. See, he didn't do so well as far as a gift-giving went. Instead of gold, frankincense or myrrh, he stopped at the dollar store for coal. Let's just say that a very special baby in a manger was not so impressed.

This limited edition Santa Claus paper toy is being offered by the Mister Black Tee t-shirt company during the 2010 holiday season. The style of this Santa matches the company's trademark t-shirt graphics. Also available is a paper toy of the company's logo which looks a whole lot like Mr. T. ^^ Both toys are available here.
According to the instructions for this Christmas ornament papercraft, this winged reindeer is none other than Comet, one of Santa's eight reindeer. Ohh, so that's how they fly! ;) This papercraft reindeer was created by artist Shane McDermott for the 2009 holiday season and may be downloaded here.
I think this mask of E.T. the Extra-Terrestial is exceptionally well done for having been drawn with markers on brown construction paper. Creator Kevin Gritzke used the mask as part of a costume back in 2007. The mask can be downloaded from Gritzke's Flickr page here.
The new Tron: Legacy movie will be released tomorrow in the US! Here's a custom Tron cubee by randyfivesix at DeviantART.

I don't make a point of doing posts on origami, but occasionally a piece captures my fancy. Such is the case with this piece. This skull and crossbones was folded from a single square of paper. The paper is black on one side, white on the other, and folded carefully so that the skull shows white while the crossbones show black. Folding diagrams by Quentin Origami are available here.
