>>104616 >>104633 OP here. Wikipedia's definition of papercraft is "a method of crafting three-dimensional objects out of paper, similar to origami." "Designer paper toys" such as the "top 10" listed by some site (Happysucks) technically do fall under this category. But like>>104638says, the "hako"-like toys are aimed for different people. Even the term "paper TOY" vs. "paperCRAFT" implies something I guess? Most templates on /po/ would take at least a good few hours to score/cut/prefold/put together/glue to make carefully, if not longer for the even more complicated ones.
I guess what I'm getting at about the "real papercraft" thing is whether there's an elitist thing on /po/ about the difference between "designer paper toys" vs. "pepakura"? Would you collect all of different customs of one toy, or maybe make one or two that strike your fancy to go with the rest of your collection? Or are they too simple and not worth your papercraft skill? Or do you not care one way or another?
I'm not expecting a big response out of this, I'm just curious if there is a general mentality of /po/ towards papercraft and this seems like a question to get some insight. Sorry if I'm wasting your time :)
