Kawaii for Truckers

With these little toys nodding on the dashboard of your car, driving long hours or being in a traffic-jam suddenly isn’t that annoying anymore. We mean, how can you possibly be shouting or making handy gestures at other canned drivers with these cute, happy little fragile friends smiling at you, agreeing with everything you think? Yes, you will arrive late at this all-or-nothing application meeting or date. Yes, you are too wasted to drive. Yes, you’d wish you had a loved one sitting next to you. Yes, this weather is só depressing. What the heck. And you can place them on a beat-box too to see them gently nodding with the music.

So, yes, making the world a friendlier place to live in is our devotion.

Killer

The second paperkit especially for horrormagazine Bloeddorst. His name is Killer and you don’t want him around any of the other paperkits you carefully constructed. To proof it, he carries with him the head of the last date he had.

Army Of Death: Soldier

soldier

13th Original paperkit! As a footsoldier of the Army of Death this guy marches and eats itself through a world of dying flesh finding other soldiers to team up with. The crows are always nearby for spills’n'guts of this demonic creature from the gates of hell.
Created to celebrate the uprising of Dutch paper horror comicmagazine ‘Bloeddorst‘. Hear!

BushDoctor

bushdoctorThe BushDoctor comes to the rescue whenever the going gets tough! Silently chanting to pray for Luv, Pees & Happysneeze (as a default obviously) and making all your greasy and greedy wishes his full-time obligation, this little friend constantly reminds you to do something about it. And ohw, is he able to keep your little secrets safe, the Doctor is the embodiment of confidentiality. Please keep him away from candles though, because he hates fire like water. And there are no guarantees: with REAL and direct trouble better call 911.

Stubey

3eb_stubey3Kind of handy when you’re having your first date and you’re eating spinach. Stubey helps you out getting rid of all the green stuff between your teeth. And when she hints hot stuff, you can chew on these sticks and look cool. He looks a bit dead, but you know how it works with voodoo: it’s not real, unless you believe in it.
Created for blog Salt’n'Paper in exchange for the great custom Sofia Bali.

GRLS

grlsSofia is 3EyedBear’s toy-girl on testing all things fashionable on earth. He can dress her like anything he desires and even her hairdo is a factor of change. Not that Sofia is letting him play with her like that. She has far more knowledge about what’s hot and what’s not in the world of Haute Couture, but she’s kind enough to let the bear feel he’s in control.

Birds

This bird has been looking for her mate for a long time. The paperkit comes with two models, so you can bring them back together again for ever.
Just like that ‘Doctor Zhivago’ situation, so bring the paper towels (not included…)

birdbalance1The model look easy to build, but we’ve been warned about how tricky the folding with the birds’ feet is.
