I have been looking for cool "card kits" to throw in as gifts for friends and family at Christmas, and found several really cool models on Printables. I've printed a few different card kits already, as well as a remix of Dummy 13, which is an excellent model. The Dummy 13 model is a complex model, but there is a very handy video, that shows how to assemble it.
I specifically built the Dummy 13 (Beta) On Runners (Easier to print) models and the DUMMY 13 goes to COMIC CON - Deadpool remix by Mici (unfortunately no card kit version of the remix). I've never actually seen the Deadpool movies, but the figure is gonna be for a coworker. To test the model though, I decided to make one of the figures. Building one would also allow me to explain how to assemble the figure to the person receiving it (but I'm keeping the one I built, since it's also very cool). There was only one real tricky part in assembling the Dummy 13 model, which is that there are two very similar frame parts, which go into the torso and pelvis of the Dummy 13 model. The part that goes into the pelvis is the slightly shorter one. Other than that, the Dummy 13 model, and the remixed parts all went together perfectly and the figure is extremely poseable. I made a minor remix of a weapons pack for the Dummy 13 model, which is posted here.
I'm also working on an astronaut mod for Dummy 13, which will be posted in the next week (but here is a preview):

I'm planning to print several other "card kits" as gifts as well. These are some of the best I have found so far:
A remix of the Catapult Card. I'm going to print this one with thicker parts.
Gingerbread House Kit Card
Snowflake TIE Fighter Kit Card Ornament (pictured)
Star Wars X-Wing Snowflake Decoration (Larger stabilized version) (pictured)
At-at kit card (cool but hard to make it stand on it's own)
Star Wars B1 Battle Droid 2.0 Kit Card
Flexi Gingerbread Darth Vader (not a card kit, but I may "cardify" it)
And again the awesome card kit remix of Dummy 13
Below are some pics of the kit cards I printed so far (and assembled). As I print more, I will post additional pics.
Update 12/3/2023: The Astronaut Remix for Dummy 13 is posted on Printables:
