2. Standing Character Display Figures
Standing anime paper figures focus on realistic proportions and upright poses. These figures often resemble traditional collectible figurines but are made entirely from paper or cardstock.
The construction typically involves a base for stability, a torso with layered details, and carefully shaped limbs. Clothing folds, hair layers, and facial features are more detailed than chibi designs, requiring patience and precision.
Standing paper figures allow creators to showcase character outfits, uniforms, or signature looks. They are ideal for fans who enjoy accuracy and detail over exaggerated cuteness.

Key features of standing paper figures:
- Balanced, upright pose
- Emphasis on costume detail
- Requires careful cutting and assembly
- Suitable for intermediate crafters
These figures look especially impressive when displayed in groups or themed collections.
