Paper Robots Workshop
Sells 3 very interesting robot kits. These are more like Lego:Bionicles
in that they are multi-part kits that require more than just cut/fold/glue.
Some require toothpicks/wire & elastic bands because they are poseable & weapon swappable.
The Red Devil:Light Infantry($6.10), Red Fury:Heavy Weapons($6.10) and Basic Infantry Trooper($3.95) are currently available.
There are 2 expansion packs available (for $2.50 each) one contains a few weapons, the other an alternate head, backpack and hand.
A free set of back banners were available but the link seems to be broke.
They are all relatively easy to build. Good layouts & Instructions are provided, as well as exploded parts views to see how each actually works. It's a nice diversion for anyone interested in the Action Figure genre but done in paper.
I've picked up 2 of the three models and will be preparing for the builds here soon.
