ToyCyte: Toy Culture Collected

I’ve always loved papercrafting because it’s the ultimate in communal art toy freebies, available to anyone with a printer and the ability to use scissors without the risk of grievous self-injury. I might make an exception to this no-cost rule for the Piperoids. Given yesterday’s trip to the ER, I make no promises about the scissors.

$15 will buy you a pack of two smaller robot figures, or one larger robot figure. Gone are the days of squared-off, angular papercrafts, because these guys use the myriad wonders of the Mighty Tube for their construction. With a backstory, personalities, and a very original method of construction and packaging, we might just be seeing another small revolution in the world of the papercraft.
