Artist Gus Santome has created a set of X-Men papercraft dolls based on the comic book Battle of the Atom.
The current set includes the original X-Men team (Cyclops, Archangel, Jean Grey, etc.) as well as the new Xavier School team. Fan favorites like Wolverine, Kitty Pryde, Storm and Beast will also be available and a large Sentinel papercraft doll is in the works as well. These collectible miniature figures are fashioned out of folded and glued paper.
These X-Men papercraft dolls are cute, smiling block figures that make great additions to any comic fan’s collection. You can get your favorites and put the whole team together and stage fights with Magneto and the Sentinels. Santome’s papercraft figures are fun, mini renditions of some of pop culture’s best known and most loved comic book heroes.
