HAL 9000 Takes Over Your Printer

He’s been classified as #13 in a list of the 100 most horrific movie villains by the American Film Institute, and now you can have one of your own. The HAL 9000 papercraft comes in two varieties from two different creators – you can recreate the original cyclopean robotic entity and affix him on any given wall of your home, or you can cut and paste a more adorable version, with little legs to carry him around.

Shunichi Makino is responsible for the anthropomorphic, less threatening HAL replica (as well as a large number of Star Wars and Star Trek vehicles), while the full-scale ‘interface’ design was created by Tektonten. How long do you think it’ll be before some enterprising young papercutter modifies this design to emit a pulsating battery glow from that all-seeing, voyeur eye? Either way, it belongs proudly affixed to a wall right behind your entertainment center.
