How better to while away your workday than by building a personal army of robots from paper pipes? Piperoids are currently invading the desktops of serious bot aficionados throughout Japan. The eight characters each have their own individual personalities — our favorite is Scissors Jim, who is a kind of robotic Edward Scissorhands. His online bio (at www.piperoid.jp) tells us that he was formerly a hairdresser on his home planet before building the hub for the Piperoid invasion of Earth. Clearly not one for the halfhearted career change, Scissors Jim will inspire his new owner to aim high. (Felicity Hughes/Metropolis)

  Wow. Wonderful effort. It is environment friendly as well. Not harmful to kids too. Keep it up.

  Found a similar concept at cubeecraft.com, and it's free.
