Pokemon GO Fan Uses 3D Printer to Make Real-Life Combee Purse

One Pokemon GO fan takes to social media to show off a real-life Combee purse they made using a 3D printer, impressing the community.

In this case, one lucky Charizard fan got an incredible piece of artwork from their brother for their birthday. The artwork was shared by the gifting brother, Kickstart_Hero, who showed off the incredible sculpture, which they printed and painted. Charizard here looks like a classic fantasy dragon, with scales all over its body and huge, uplifted wings. It's a rather dynamic pose, too, with Charizard using its flame breath and sending out a huge cloud of flame. While the artwork was only shared from a couple of different angles, the execution is remarkable, and the painting really makes the sculpture shine.

Pokemon Fans Love Thoughtful Charizard Gift

Many fans in the comments have shared their thoughts on the Charizard, with several pointing out how cool that it looks. A few told the OP that they were a wonderful brother for giving a gift like this, while another asked if they were interested in adopting them, as they would also love to receive incredible gifts like this from a sibling. While that's probably out of the question, those who own 3D printers may be in luck in getting a variation of this Charizard for themselves. The OP noted that the base model is available online, called "Kaijumon Charizard" by Becca_3D. However, the OP was responsible for painting the model, so fans should expect to need to do the same.

As 3D printers have become more common, so have Pokemon fanarts utilizing them. However, that's not to say that traditional art forms have been overlooked as methods of celebrating Pokemon. Fans use every skill in the book to create Pokemon fanart, with Pokemon wood carvings, stained glass, pastries, and even metalworking being used to create impressive pieces dedicated to favorite pocket monsters and their trainers. With regular releases in the Pokemon franchise introducing new Pokemon and celebrating old classics alike, chances are fans will never stop finding ways to impress the community with creative ideas like this one.
