HOPPIP V2


187 / HOPPIP - Pokémon Papercraft
Name: Hoppip
Type: Grass/Flying
Species: Cottonweed Pokémon
Height: 0.4 m (1' 4")
Weight: 0.5 kg (1.1 lbs)
Interesting Facts: Hoppip’s most unique feature is its ability to be blown into the air. Hoppip are by necessity social creatures. Their light bodies make them extremely vulnerable to winds, so they cluster together and link sprouts with each other in order to anchor themselves in place, or grip the ground firmly with its feet to keep from being blown away. It evolves into Skiploom starting at level 18, who evolves into Jumpluff starting at level 27.

THE PAPER MODEL
Height: 19.0 cm/7.5 in
Width: 15.9 cm/6.3 in
Depth: 13.0 cm/5.1 in
No. of Pages: 4
No. of Pieces: 30
Level: Easy
Designer: PMF
Photo: Skelekitty
NOTES: It's quite small in comparison to our regular models, but still relatively easy to build. Start at the head and close at the bottom - it won't matter if the closing point is messy, because you glue the feet over that part anyway - just follow the numbers. Attach the tail after you have completed the body. With regards to the leaf on it's head, after you have glued the two sides together, you will need to attach it to Hoppip's head with a reasonable blob of super glue (preferably the gel version that is readily available at good hardware stores).

It can also use its tongue to sense danger, and can move quietly through the grass. Like actual snakes, Ekans will lash out with a bite when frightened by anything it sees as a threat. If one happens to be bitten by a young Ekans, they are lucky. As an Ekans, it doesn't possess the ability to add poison to its bite until after it evolves into an Arbok.

NOTES: This is a nice and easy Pokémon model. You start at the head and finish at the tail, just follow the numbers on the template. To close Ekans, make the body and then the rattler (tweezers required for this part) separately. Then use some good, strong glue to secure the rattle on the end of the tail.
