143 / SNORLAX – Pokémon Papercraft
Name: Snorlax
Type: Normal
Species: Sleeping Pokémon
Height: 2.1 m (6′11″)
Weight: 460.0 kg (1014.1 lbs.)
Interesting Facts: Wild Snorlax can be found sleeping in inconvenient locations throughout Kanto. Many Snorlax only awaken once a month, spending their waking time finding more food. A hungry Snorlax is not very picky, and will eat anything and everything that is edible, and it isn’t satisfied until it consumes 900 pounds of food. Then it goes back to sleep. If one ever sees a sleeping Snorlax, he or she should not wake it up, because these Pokémon become very grumpy if their peaceful dreams become interrupted. It evolves from Munchlax via Happiness.

NOTES: PMF and I have always loved Snorlax – we can totally relate to it’s lifestyle – so when I asked for a GIANT sitting version, PMF didn’t hesitate.

I did initially build the giant 45cm high model, but I accidentally printed the template out on the wrong weight paper (120gsm instead of 200gsm) and consequently the finished model was too fragile, and buckled out of shape under even the slightest pressure – much to the enjoyment of my 3 year old. So rather than print out all 36 pages again, I downsized it to 20cm, knowing that the template was buildable.

We have provided both sizes in the download packs. It’s a straightforward build: remember to print the giant version on heavier cardstock, start at the head, and work your way down in rings – follow the numbers of each piece – close at the soles of the feet. We have also included the Burger and Wiimote accessory =p

225 / DELIBIRD – Pokémon Papercraft
Name: Delibird
Type: Ice / Flying
Species: Delivery Pokémon
Height: 0.9 m (2?11?)
Weight: 16.0 kg (35.3 lbs.)
Interesting Facts: Delibird’s most famous power is that it attacks by giving presents to its opponents. These presents, glowing orbs pulled from inside its tail, often explode, damaging the enemy. However, this move is unpredictable, even for the Delibird. The effect of the present could harm an opponent, or it could even help it! Read more…

151 / MEW – Pokémon Papercraft
Name: Mew
Type: Psychic
Species: New Species Pokémon
Height: 0.3 m (1′04″)
Weight: 4.0 kg (8.8 lbs.)
Interesting Facts: Mew is said to have the DNA of every single Pokémon contained within its body. It also vaguely resembles an embryo or fetus, and is often depicted in a pink orb and is genderless. Mew is a very curious and intelligent Pokémon that will only appear to someone with a pure heart. It loves playing around and swimming, and is known to behave very childishly at times, wanting everybody it trusts to play with it all the time. It is attracted to lullabies and will try to stay as close to the music as possible. All in all, Mew is known as a very happy and playful Pokémon. It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon. Mew is the last Pokémon in the Kanto Pokédex.

NOTES: This model is a little tricky to close, but if you accidentally stuff that bit up, rest assured that you can cover up the closing point with the tail! Start at the head and work your way down the belly, move to the feet, attaching the legs to the belly before closing up at the bottom. Build the tail from the tip down. Use super glue to attach the tail to the body.
