The build video for mechanical paper model maker Kikousya’s papercraft walking bipedal robot,
PR-III, is a top shelf example of what a dedicated artist can achieve with simple materials—in this case: paper, rubber bands, wooden dowels, and some paste. [via the Verge]

      I did some more research for you. You can E-Mail this guy at kikousya@yahoo.co.jp. E-Mail him to buy the papercraft. The model (PR-V, which is the one you’re looking at) retails for 3000 Yen (+350 Yen for taxes, shipping, handling, etc). Don’t be alarmed, though! 3350 Yen is about $27.81. It’s not too pricy. I’d buy it if I wasn’t saving for other things.

      Good luck-Dylan

        Hi Dylan.. Thanks for your research… I actually ordered it a month ago and have been busy making it… He sold it for 2000 yen.. Told me I was the first to buy it outside of Japan… And would only sell the pr-3. .. Directions are in. Japanese… Good pictures though… Google translate does an ok job of translating..but not super….
        I’m thinking of drawing it up in a CAD program and 3 d printing it.. Some of the gears are tricky!!…
        If anyone out there wants two tackle that let me know!!
        I’ll post my paper version when done!!
        Best keep on making!!
        David
