Paper Robot Action Figure
A foldable paper robot action figure with rotating joints — 6 inches tall, built from 3 sheets of paper and tape using a printable PDF template designed in Maya and Pepakura.
Overview
A small foldable red robot action figure made out of paper. Stands roughly 6 inches (15 cm) tall — and the joints actually rotate! (Or more precisely, flap around.)
Takes around 2 hours to cut and build (1 hour if you’re fast). Requires 3 sheets of paper and a bunch of tape. Card stock and double-sided scotch tape with packaging tape work best.
