Turbo Strike
Newest addition to the cardboard toys series: Turbo Strike.
Turbo Strike is a flyer with huge turbo water wheel-like engines at its sides. So besides able to fly, it can move on water. Also created control room at the cockpit.

Like the rest, the flyer comes with its own packaging/ display box.

Packaging/ Display Box
All toys come in its original packaging box. So to complete the collection, I decided to make individual packaging/ display box for the toys. Acrylic boxes are really expensive to make, so to work within my means, I make use of the cardboards instead.
The following are the completed ones...

The boxes may not be as sturdy as acrylic cases, but I think they should be able to serve just as well. Since the toys are made of cardboards, I think it will be quite suitable to have cardboard as its packaging/display box.

Walking House
Houses on stilts are now a thing in the past. Using that idea, I created a house on stilts, and it can walk. The house has dining area, living room area with tv, coffee table and sofa, kitchen area and not forgetting a big sofa bed.

Robot ONe and Robotoo
Robot toys are lovable. How can I not make any cardboard robot toys, right? Always love those antique tin robots. So time to make my own robot toys. Making use of my knowledge on making puppets, I incorporated the moving mechanisms, so the robots are movable at most parts, from the head, arms, legs, and waist.

The Flyer
I have cars, I have bikes, so how can I not have planes?
Made a real ugly plane prototype before I came up with this. Instead of making it look very realistic like a real aeroplane, I choose to give it a more cartoon-y feel.
A combination of helicopter and aeroplane. Besides having the movable rotor on top, it also has a pair of turbo engine on its wings. The engines are movable, so the flyer can fly both horizontally and vertically. This shall be my first flying toy series.

Crazy Houses On Wheels
On the roll here, continued on and made this, Crazy Houses on Wheels. Since I can have mini houses, how about different kind of houses, as if it's a city? So I went on and made houses of different shapes and sizes, and some like on stilt. I added more and more, so much so this piece is the heaviest and biggest so far.
