Super-Combiners Double Arms


With the release of the Poplocks Super Combiners PDF (only $2!), there's more to build now! And lookee here, it's another double build - this time, with the R-MZ paper toy.

Normally, he's a pretty stand-up guy, but when you combine two R-MZ (Arms) and put on their eye mask, they assume the role of R-MND-0 (Armando), the annoying practical-joke-playing robot that shows up at parties uninvited.

R-MND-0 can be a real pest. He sneeks up on his monocular brethern and surprises them with a hug. Sadly, R-MND-0 isn't programmed to be aware of personal space and doesn't have appropriate force sensors on his arms... the unexpected can and does occur.

You can print out and build your own R-MZ Poplock bots and combine them to make your own R-MND-0! For only $2 gets you all four Series 1 Super Combiner bots plus a bonus page of parts. Check out the details by clicking on the icon below. What can you build?

Poplocks Super Combiners - Buy & Download!


There's a new way for you to get some Poplock toys onto your desktops -- $2.00 USD gets you a template file with 5 pages of parts:
  • 4 pages of Poplocks Super Combiners paper toys: 2-PH, HV-R, SK-8 and RM-Z
  • a bonus pages of parts including 2 rotating connectors and 4 cube connector bars.
I'll email the PDF file to you soon after you order. Once this operation gets bigger, automated downloads will become the standard.

I recommend using 65lb. or heavier colored card stock. You can buy this at your local craft store or office supply store.
