For many years, the adventurous franchise that is Pokemon has given fans inspiration to create great things in their spare time. Where one fan made an evolving Metapod plushie, another fan has taken the time to create a life-size papercraft Eevee that brings the fan-favorite Pokemon to life in spectacular fashion.
The Evolution Pokemon Eevee has stolen the hearts of many fans throughout the years for a lot of reasons. Naturally so, since players tend to see it as cute as a button while also acknowledging the many strategies that Eevee can provide. The critter has remained incredibly popular over the years, even earning it a spot alongside Pikachu for many things including the Let's Go titles.
Reddit user BetaWolfs posted photos of a finished papercraft Eevee based on the in-game model that looks very impressive. The title of the post says that the Eevee is just about a foot tall if you count the ears, and seems to be very sturdy. Some of the photos include the Eevee propped up in a tree for a cute picture, with the setting being fitting for a wild creature.
In the comments, BetaWolfs says that putting the Eevee together took about 20-30 hours due to the detail of the model. If the cuteness of how the Evolution Pokemon came out makes fans want to build their own, for those interested, the crafter has shared that they actually used a template by a user named Sabi96 to make it. With the template being shared openly, it is possible for some Eevee lovers to make one for themselves if they follow the directions.
All in all, the papercraft is just adorable to look at and helps any players who find themselves daydreaming about actually having a Pokemon partner with them in real life. The polygonal shapes used on the model may break the illusion for some, but for most the shape will just help to add charm to the model. The design makes it seem as if it jumped straight out of BetaWolfs' Switch when playing Let's Go Eevee, just like how the game starts.
Papercrafting is not an easy art form to master by any means, and the Reddit user makes that obvious with the clear statement of the whopping 20 to 30 hours they say it took them to make it. It seems as if it's worth it, though, as they now have an Eevee buddy to pose with for photos and to watch Pokemon Journeys with if they want to.
