While I was innocently browsing Regina's flickr, I discovered these nice Guild Wars papercrafts:

The last one shows that Gwen-chan existed 2 years ago! Anyone saw them sold somewhere, or were this only prototypes never commercialised?

I'm also wondering if the Eve hand-painted mini-statuette ever made the shelves of a shop? (can't find a pic of it anywhere on the net)

Chibi Gwen was used on the Japanese Guild Wars website (or one of the asian ones anyhow).

Wow, those moas are looking sweet!

I'd imagine myself making one daddy and one mommy black moa, and dozens of baby black moas

I fixed the first line for you. As to your question, no idea.

when are the papercraft stuff being released? or are they already out and I am just being blind as to where I can find them?

If I recall correctly, they were on display at PAX or something a few years ago (not last year, because I was there and didn't see them), and they were considering releasing a whole book of papercrafts, but haven't so far.

Either Regina or Gaile has been asked about them somewhat recently, and I believe the answer was that they'd like to, and they're looking into it, but they have no specific date/time in mind as of this moment.

Hopefully, they will get released, because I love me some papercrafts, too! o_O

Those were all prototype samples shown at PAX 2006. The patterns have not been released on the website. I asked about it several months ago, and at the time they had no specific timeframes for releasing it. I can ask again about it though to see what the position is at the moment.

ETA: Sorry, I mean PAX 2007. Not 2006.

Hopefully the position will be, "Sure. Put them on the site. People would enjoy them!"

I know I would. My niece's would too :P

Releasing Gwen Papercrafts would do Guild Wars a lot of good hehehehe, the papercrafts community on the web is quite big if I may say so. think of the publicity plus does arena net wants to be better then WoW lolol, and WoW has a blog of its own on papercrafts!!!!

*real reason, I want to make a mini gwen !!!!! *

please Ms Regina B, make them release the folding pattern! flutter eyelids

BTW, don't forget all the moa birds and whatever papercrafts model there is :P

might I interest glacialphoenix in making a ceiling cat

anyone has a digital 3D model of mini gwen?? we could make it a community effort, extract the 3D structure, spread it out with UVMapper, outline the parts in illustrator, pop in the skin, cut out the parts, glue them together, and repeat until perfect

Oh, my goodness. <3! *printing it out

EDIT: And I just saw the Fatal Frame papercraft. Fatal Frame just happens to be one of my favourite games, and the papercraft is enormously adorable.

Pumpkin Pie, I offer you e-cookies in gratitude.

Ty Regina!

Anything about the Eve mini-statuette? (I don't know if it's any help but it says "NCsoft Europe" on it)

Sorry if this is posted elsewhere but I decided to add it to this thread.

As a special holiday treat, we've got four sets of absolutely free Guild Wars papercraft models for your assembling enjoyment.
Each Tuesday in December we'll release a new model (or model set), culminating in the largest and most ambitious papercraft
model we've ever attempted. We won't tell you what it is, but save room at the top of your tree!

Thanks to whoever did these I can't wait to build these and to see whats comming

I may be wrong, but I believe (atleast some) of the papercrafts were made by Katy Hargrove some time ago... Would have to look at her older blog posts to verify that though.
