Simon Creative Co., a renowned company in character design, marketing, and intellectual property management in Taiwan, has made a significant impact in the "anime marketing" field with numerous notable projects. One of their most outstanding creations is the illustrated character "Magi," inspired by the story of The Wise Man, also known as the Magi, from the Bible.
Created in collaboration with the Pingtung government, Magi was born with the goal of promoting tourism and showcasing the beauty of Wanchin Basilica of the Immaculate Conception. Magi embodies the spirit of Christmas and recalls the story of the three Wise Men who witnessed the birth of Jesus under the guidance of the Star of Bethlehem.
From the moment she debuted, Magi attracted significant attention and became the symbol of the Christmas festival in Wanchin. As the spokesperson for the festival, Magi participated in numerous local tourism events, helping to highlight the stunning Wanchin Basilica of the Immaculate Conception and its unique culture. Thanks to Magi, many visitors have been inspired to explore Wanchin, boosting tourism in Pingtung County.

Bohun, a papercraft enthusiast, challenged himself by designing a paper model of Magi due to his passion for the character. The template for the paper model is provided as a PDO file, and you will need Pepakura Viewer software to view and complete the artwork. When finished, this paper model stands 21 cm tall, designed on 4 A4 sheets of paper with double-sided printing support, creating a beautiful and meaningful product for papercraft enthusiasts and fans of Magi.
Magi is not only a symbol of the Christmas festival but also a bridge between culture and tourism, helping to promote Wanchin Basilica of the Immaculate Conception to the public.
