Artist Chris Beaumont has promised to bring us a new cube styled paper toy every week and if he can keep up the great work it looks like Cube Craft will be home to one of the finest paper toys collections on the web. I can not wait to download and start on the Stormtrooper, Mr.Stay Puft and Kirby paper toys.

If that is no enough for you then check out super sweet TNMT and Sonic paper toys. [via Paperkraft]

After being mesmerised by the Doktor A Spit & Polish Soopa Coin-Up I got a bit excited by the possibility of seeing even more awesome Soopa Coin-Up customs at the upcoming Soopa Show in New York. The best thing is there is a small chance I may actually be able to attend the show. Make sure you check out the Soopa Coin-Up website and a great interview with the creator Erick Scarecrow.

About The Show: Behold, the greatest and only plastic octopus themed artistic event the world has ever seen! Because we are self indulgent narcissists, we thought it only fair to try and milk the release of our beloved Lefty toy for all its worth, and what better a way to do that than invite 30 of our favorite artists and closest friends to play pimp-my-lefty and then exhibit the finished pieces for the world to see. Artists include Jeremyville, Julie west, Jeremiah Ketner, DGPH, Mike Burnett, Mr Jago and many more

PlayRoll is a cool new DIY paper toy from The Netherlands that comes in a rather interesting set. You get your paper toy ready to be cut and created, a scissors (very handy..), glue and a toilet roll. Have to say I love the concept for the PlayRoll series 1 and adore the whole packaging they come in as its great to see something new.

The story behind PlayRoll:

Humans live on earth like pigs in a borehouse. Valuable resources are depleted and transformed into nuclear waste, CO2 emissions, chemical pollution and mere trash. The ending of our planet will come to pass. Emerged from human filth, resistant to all pollution TOXI, CO&O, NUKE & T-RASH are our only salvation. Playroll; mutant superheroes, demigods of the new disorder, rule the faith of life on earth. Will they turn the tide? Will they save mankind by their own sacrifice?

Be sure to also check out the awesome wooden version and the free crash test bunny paper toy.

Modifying PC cases is a huge field of interest for the tech community and when you computer nerds with an artists skill you are presented with some superb computer cases. This Decomatic HTPC gives us that vintage wooden styling with some stunning craftsmanship. [via MAKE]

Indulge yourself at the gallery of hand transformed PEZ by Atypyk and bask at the delightful results. I love the fact that modifications are very subtle and refined.

The Hulk returns to the scene with most amazing PC case mod I have seen. Wires dangling all over the place would usually be considered a very bad job but with this Incredible Hulk PC case mod you can see why wires left loose can create something so creative and visually stunning. Comics meet PC mods… this is every geeks dream.

We all want a transformers toy and some of us will even create our own transformers toy. But I bet no one would think of using some KFC wrapper scraps and end up with something as awesome looking as this Bumble Bee Transfomer. Create your own if you like as their are tons or images and instructions… if you do GOOD LUCK.

If that is a bit daunting then stick to these super sweet transformers paper toys created by NiceBunny.
