Summary
APokemonfan has created a Mewtwo card holder that’s ideal for holding cards fromThe Pokemon Card Gameor evenMagic: The Gathering. The creativePokemonidea has spurred a conversation about what kind of Pokemon would make the best card holder.
DedicatedPokemonfans have been creating artwork in two and three dimensions since the series' inception in the ’90s. However, with 3D printing having only become a relatively accessible hobby in fairly recent times, it’s opened doors to creating all kinds of interestingPokemonprojects that would be difficult to bring to life in any other way. Whether fans are designing their own3D printed Poke Ballsfrom the ground up or making unique card holders, there’s a lot of possibilities out there, and players have likely only just begun to scratch the surface.
One fan that’s recently created a3D-printed piece ofPokemonlootis RubDue1609, who shared their Mewtwo card holder on Reddit. The user shared three images of the head of Mewtwo with a panel on the top that can be removed. The fan says that their son wanted a deck box that could hold hisPokemoncards, and the parent responded by building this. RubDue1609 also notes that they made the opening large enough to hold their son’sMagic: The GatheringCommander deck, as well.
How the Mewtwo Card Holder was Made
The creative parent went into more detail on a page where they alsoposted the projectfor fellow fans to print out if they’d like. They note that they used a Mewtwo model created by artist alessandro.zama, cut it down to just the head, and added eyes themselves, as the original model was lacking them. From there, it was just a matter of finding the right scale, adding the cavity for the cards, finalizing the model, and then printing it. RubDue1609 also notes that they have plans to do Pikachu and Eevee next for their nieces, which should be interesting to see.
Meanwhile,Pokemonfans are discussing which Pokemon they’d like to see holding cards like this. Ultra Beast Stakataka was recommended, as well as Voltorb, Mimikyu, Victreebel, andGimmighoul in Chest form. While simply putting the cards in a slot like the Mewtwo would be sufficient, some fans suggested other methods for storing the cards inPokemondesigns, like Gengar holding the cards in its clenched teeth, or making it so that opening a Gimmighoul box would push the cards up and out to make it easy to grab the deck.
Whether RubDue1609 creates any of the suggested designs remains to be seen, but with any luck, they’ll share theirPikachu and Eeveeworks next for fans to enjoy.
