Sparkle Labs’ Papertronics are the gift you’ll never admit to wanting

By Vladislav Savov

Sparkle Labs — an online DIY electronics kit maker filled with pep, cheer and other such disgustingly sweet things — has just announced its new Papertronics kits. As the name suggests, these are paper toys with electronics inside them, with the kicker being that you have to construct your Spaceboy (above) or Aliengirl yourself, before activating them via contact with their “landers.” Hey, it’s not like you can be a gadget geek and not have an appreciation for the fine art of papercrafting. If your inner child still lives, you can check these out at the source link, and we’ll just tell everyone you’re buying them for your nephew or niece.

Papercraft Wall-E checks email, dances a jig when new message arrives

By Darren Murph

We’ve seen our fair share of Wall-E mods over the months, and yes, we’ve also seen an impressive papercraft creation or two. But frankly, we’ve never, ever seen a papercraft Wall-E, let alone a papercraft Wall-E that serves a purpose. TotoroYamada took the time to concoct what he describes as his own personal Mail-E, a servo-equipped paper robot that’s programed to check his inbox every few seconds and bust a move when a new message arrives.
