Optimus Prime papercraft – Only if you have A LOT of time on your hands.
Monday, April 12th, 2010Looks like there’s a seriously complicated Optimus Prime papercraft available at paper replika. Before you go galloping off into the paper world to work on this, it should be noted that this model is CRAZY detailed. I’d only attempt this if you have a serious amount of time to work on it. Also, the model itself isn’t totally finished. It looks like only the body and head are finished. So papercraft at your own risk!

Making of Vinyl Toys….. Not all that impressive
Wednesday, April 7th, 2010Ok, so I thought that the production of vinyl toys would be a bit more sophisticated than this video shows. I just thought since the products that come out are so intricate, that they’d be, I dunno, more elaborate. In the end it’s just some old Japanese guy pouring plastic into a mold. wtf? No robot arms making the plastic pieces?
