As a child I was the sort of kid that when given things to do with the PVA glue, used to end up with it not only everywhere but was the sort of kid that spent hours pulling it off the hands pretending that it was skin and flicking it at everyone else.
These days, I know better than to do that (even if its still pretty good fun) although I did suspend my self imposed ban so that I could start making these wonderful cut outs. What makes them thrilling is not only are they colourful but also pretty crafty with all the hard bits prefigured and easy to follow instructions. They're modern and if you're a collector of the multitude of plastic collectables from Japan then these will add something extra to the collection. Add to the mix that if you're pretty crafty, what I did was to scan these into the computer and then printed them up in order to keep the book intact, then carefully using the craft knife I cut them out and followed the instructions. The fact that I didn't end up with my hands glued together as well as something nearly identical to the illustration is a pure testament to the skill used by the creator of this book. Definitely something worth getting if you're looking for craft projects this Summer and will give you hours of fun with a collection of creatures that you'll be left wondering how the hell you managed to create them.

They will need the help of a parent to cut out the pieces but this is a fabulous book, very cool, very colourful, great quality. I would definitely buy it as a gift again; in fact I am tempted to buy one for myself to do. It's an excellent and well thought out product.
Format:Paperback
Anyone with the slightest interest in 'paper toys' will simply adore this book. Written and produced by a guy that knows his stuff, Matt Hawkins has come up trumps with a very hands on, colourful and madly addictive publication that will undoubtedly have you throwing the 'included cd' into the nearest computer, printing off (matt paper works best) the gorgeous 'flatpacks' and sitting for hours cutting, crafting and gluing to your hearts content.
Great advice, great interviews, great toys and most of all, great fun. Njoi

Brilliant
I had waited patiently for this book to come out and was not dissapointed when it did. The quality of the book is second to none and the designs are printed on slightly glossier... Read more

Absolutely splendid (if you like that sort of thing)
I can thoroughly recommend this book, it's the best collection of modern paper toy designs I've come across. I have to admit, though, some of them are very seriously weird. Read more
