A potentially fun route for simple and dirt cheap waifu is to go 2.5D. By using sliding and rotating layers, you can produce a cute&light waifu. Laminating cardstock produces a durable, cleanable, low friction that can look like anything. For inspiration, look at this Gawr Gura. Imagine how her arms could be made of segments that rotate about the shoulder and elbow. How her head could rotate about a hidden pin behind it. How her clothes could be printed onto cotton sheets. There's heaps of potential for a creative Anon to pioneer a new road for roboflatties!

Thanks, Kiwi.  :^)

>Wasu Art
Always cute to watch these performances.  :^)

>Melonshu Acheron automata
Wow, neat find.

*  I think papercraft waifus are still a good idea in many ways. First & foremost is the cost (super low), ease of design & construction, ready access to materials, light weight, ...(and others I'm sure).
*  The downsides are low strength, low durability (very fragile -- especially by moisture), not very comfy-feeling as a shell material *, ...(and again, probably others).

I think if its used conscientiously in relationship with other materials (wood, metal, plastic, etc.), then many of it's downsides can be at least partially-addressed, while still maintaining most of it's upsides. And its still a very-strong contender as the primary source material for production of extremely low-cost robowaifus for everyman around the world (a personal dream of mine.  :^)

<--->

Regardless, I still maintain that its the best shell mockup material choice for robowaifu prototype designing (especially full-scale ones) bar none.
>tl;dr
1.  design robowaifu prototype shells using paper => patch same robowaifu shell designs with paper => (lather, rinse, repeat),
2.  transfer (geometrical) knowledge thus obtained to robowaifu shell production materials & manufacturing approaches.
Simple as.

*  The primary exception here being literal silk paper. Its expensive, but it can be obtained.
