free papercraft Pokémon Hisuian Braviary

I love video games 🎮 so to be honest, to me the Pokémon Hisuin Braviary looks like an enemy from the Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, a Kargarok. 🐦

Javierini must have had food on his mind though, and must have thought that he basically looked like a Thanksgiving turkey... 🦃 So he figured it would be fitting to release this papercraft yesterday on Thanksgiving! 😉

free papercraft Top-kun mascot

The Tokyu Reifia Parking Operations Department made a new calendar 📅 for 2026 adding a cute papercraft of their Top-kun mascot on the thicker outer paper of the calender but you can also download it from their website to print yourself! 🚘

Javierini's free papercraft Pokémon Spinda

Pokémon started out with 151 Pokémon in generation 1. The amount grew in every generation and in  generation 9 in 2025, there are already 1,025 of them (1,000 being Gholdengo, being made out of 1,000 coins)!

That's so many that actually catching them all like the theme song encourages you to do will already take you a *very long* time! Some of them can be *very rare* too, but Pokémon fans that liked papercraft too did set up the PaperPokés website where everybody could download and build papercraft versions of them, regardless of how rare they are!

PaperPokés was a fun site that added *a lot* of new free papercraft Pokémon to the list, but at some point, people just started wanting to spend more time with work and friends and family and other things of course. So understandably they agreed to end their Paperpokes Project, but I think you can still download most (if not all?) papercraft Pokémon that they made from their PaperPokés site!

Now you can even download some official ones like Dialga an Palkia from the official English Pokémon site like I showed you in 2021, and this simple Pikachu one (I have that bookmarked since 2008, but I can't seem to find if I ever showed it to you - but I hope I did of course! 😉) from the official Japanese Pokémon site!

But of course lots of other papercrafters are also still making unofficial papercraft Pokémon to this day for their own enjoyment and sharing them for your enjoyment too!

Most people like Paperman Returns for example just make one like Pikachu (I also only ever made one papercraft Pokémon so far, Sharpedo) or they make just a few like Tanaka Masahiko or Rodrigo Rivas Costa to show off his new Papercraft tool. Tenpepakura make them much more regularly though and just this October he shared a papercraft Chikorita!

And then of course there's Javierini's blog, which existed since Paperpokés too already, who's still regularly sharing lots of new papercraft Pokémon that have been built by his test building friends and just today he made a free papercraft Pokémon Spinda! 😊

free papercraft Touhou Project Fujiwara no Mokou

In February, I showed you Touhou Project's Enoko Mitsugashira, but I think I missed a few releases since then on my own blog here!

So be sure to check out the other papercraft posts on Nobi's blog to find all the ones they made (and there are *a lot*! 🙂) before downloading the latest one: Fujiwara no Mokou, who over 1300 years ago drank the  Hourai Elixir that was meant as a gift for the Emperor making her immortal...! 😀
