Some of our readers may remember the talented Japanese model and figure artist からけん KARA-KEN (@karaageakinai) who creates amazing Pokémon figures and displays as well as clever and practical Pokémon-themed devices such as Gengar tape holders and Quagsire fans.
KARA-KEN's latest creation is a Meltan!

This figure not only looks great, complete with a shiny metallic body, red wire-like tail and hexagonal nut-shaped head with black "eye" floating inside it, but is also built to be "life-sized." As fans may know, the Steel-type Mythical Pokémon only measures 8 inches tall, according to the Pokédex, so it's a size that lends itself perfectly to a desk-bound figure.
However, just like Meltans absorb metal, this figure likes to collect metal... in the form of paper clips. That's right, there's a magnet inside the hexagonal nut which allows you to use this Meltan as a paper clip stand!

As you can see, these Meltan paper clip stands look like they make wonderful deskmates.
"This is the first time I made a life-sized one, but this is good. It's like there are Pokémon right in front of my eyes."
If you're curious to know how KARA-KEN made it, you can watch the process in this video:
These Meltan paper clip stands quickly got noticed, and elicited comments on Twitter such as:
