The Comedian PDF is now available for download here. It's the first time I'm using the new template which is designed so that the toy can be built without using any glue or tapes. Whether you like this new template or not, please let me know what you think.

Updates

A few things...

The Rorschach PDF is now available for download here.

I'm in the process of designing a new template which requires no glue or sticky tapes to construct the toys. Hopefully it will be used for my next toy. For more details, check out my Facebook group.

And finally, just for the fun of it, I've signed up on Twitter! :-)

Update: Spoofed?

Some guy from Spain has come up with his own paper toy of the infamous but talented singer Amy Winehouse using the 'Toy-A-Day' template!

You can check out his blog here, though I have to warn you it's in Spanish! You can also read the Google-translated English version here.

And if that's not enough, here's another one by his friend who made this toy of the hugely popular Spanish cartoon character called Mortadelo. Check out his blog here!



Awesome guys!

Update: Contest

I am planning to hold a 'Make Your Own Toy' contest in the coming weeks. Within these few days, I will upload a blank template so that anyone interested to take part in the contest can download it, print it out and design his/her own character.

The ONLY rule is that it has to be hand-drawn and colored (no computer software is allowed).

More details and the prizes for the contest will be posted once I got things worked out. Meanwhile, if you have any suggestions or want to sponsor a prize, please let me know.

Update: Day 19 to 27

Update: How to get the free toys

Thanks everyone for the overwhelming response! As this project is still very new to me, plus I'm doing this all on my own, there are still a few things that need to be worked out.

There are two ways to get the free PDFs: You can either follow the link on the left that says 'Download the FREE PDF files here'; or you can get them through my Etsy shop. Just add what you want to the cart and please do not pay for them. I will then email you the file or send you to the link.

Meanwhile if you do not see any items there, it means they have all been grabbed up. But don't worry, I will replenish them each day.

I hope you will all bear with me while I improve the site in the coming weeks!

Update: Free PDFs Now Available!

For those who would like to construct their own paper toys, the PDF files are now available for free for a limited time. Just follow the link *here*.
