Figures

The incredible diversity of Pepakura figures: There are Pepakura versions of famous buildings, Pepakura replicas of private buildings, Pepakura machines and even burglars already got the opportunity to laugh about Pepakura monitoring cameras. We would like to invite, to reproduce, the full range of figures for cars, aircrafts, ships and also a large amount of indifferentiable figures, which are also very famous in cardboard modeling. There is hardly a cartoon figure left, which has not been crafted with Pepakura yet, whether Kung Fu Panda, Nemo, Woody from the Toy Story, in principle, any figure is possible. As Pepakura is a trend from the the Far East, there are of course many figures adapted to specific Japanese patterns.

Animal figures

All kinds of animal figures are popular. The Japanese world of animals can be crafted with Pepakura, the most well known over here are the Owl figures, Otter figures, Crane figures, Japanese Monkey figures and Black Bear figures. Also exciting is the huge number of rare wild animals, which can be crafted with Pepakura, for example Tapir figures, Lemur figures and Galapagos lizard figures. Somewhat unusual feature are the insects, which can be folded and pasted – large powerful beetles which have nothing in common with the simple crafting of simple ladybirds in the kindergarten. The Pepakura figures are accurate, a little scary-looking stag beetles for example... for lovers of the slippery things, Pepakura offers the construction of snail and frog figures. One can equip complete farms with Pepakura figures, there are pig figures, Chicken figures, rooster figures, cattle figures and sheep figures.

Decoration figures

What is the use of all those? Of course one can classically decorate the living room showcase with Pepakura figures. In Pepakura decoration figures are often used. Window sills, stair heads and cupboard ledges are embellished with decoration figures, matching to the season, which can be built up collectively. At the Pepakura decoration figures one can see how international our festivals are already. For the New Year Chinese decoration figures are useful, but also over here broadly unknown Japanese New Year decoration figures for example Kadomatsu, the New Year´s Pine. There are decoration figures for the springtime, later on for the harvest, special paw-shaped foliage rakes and autumn shrines, Halloween pumpkins and witches for the last part of each year decoration and at last the much-loved decoration figures for the Christmas time consisting of Reindeer figures, sleighs, Christmas trees and small Pepakura decoration parcels. So what for Pepakura figures?

Angel figures

Those who want, can go with Pepakura troughout the whole year, decorate their playroom with decoration figures, craft Pepakura games (a phenomenal Pepakura chess game is available) or even craft cars... and there is still more to it. What is still missing? It seems that in the Far East one doesn´t think much of angel figures. Or one just didn’t discover the angel figures yet. There are teddy figures, Pepakura bridal couples for the wedding cake, but angels or angel figures one still find rarely in the papercraft universe. Of course it would be possible to stick wings on the numerous, lightly dressed Anime and Manga ladies but they still won´t become proper angel figures – it is the task of the next constructors of Pepakura to fill that gap.

Dragon figures

Completely different is the situation with the world of dragon figures. There is a big choice, figures for each level of difficulty and taste are available. There are cute seated house dragon figures with big eyes and snorting, fire spitting dragon figures and the classical serpentine Chinese dragon figures and also the mojos – Only the world of Pepakura robots and motor vehicles are more diverse. Basically it can be noticed, that historical patterns and advanced technology are jumbled up willingly at Pepakura. For those who can´t find their way in the Far Eastern mythology, prefer to use figures which are known to them.

Old figures

We want to call them old figures. Of course, old figures are not really old figures, but Pepakura adapted to historical patterns. For example a Pepakura Teddy similar to the master pattern of Margarete Steiff belongs to the old figures, also a historical carrousel, a ball toss game or a matryoshka which is stackable one into another. There are no limits in the world of Pepakura – and we also just discover it.
