Hello, fellow creators of Paper Iconic! Are you ready for another exciting project today?
The FIFA World Cup 2026 mascot lineup is finally complete! After the releases of Maple the Moose and Zayu the Jaguar, KikCraft has now unveiled Clutch the Bald Eagle, giving papercraft fans the final piece needed to finish the full collection of the tournament's official mascots.
There's also a small story behind the wait. Shortly after releasing Maple, KikCraft shared that he had a mild case of food poisoning, which temporarily interrupted work on the next project. Thankfully, after taking some time to recover, Clutch is now here and ready to join the lineup.
Like the previous two mascots, Clutch keeps the same classic paper toy style that makes this series so enjoyable to build. The entire model fits on just a single sheet of paper, making it a quick project that pairs perfectly with Maple and Zayu on display. If you've already built the first two, this final release completes the collection just in time for the knockout stage.
As the FIFA World Cup 2026 moves beyond the group stage, the Round of 32 is almost set, with the final qualifiers now taking shape. The excitement is only getting bigger, and completing the mascot trio feels like a fitting way to celebrate the next chapter of the tournament.
Has the team you're supporting reached the Round of 32, or has their World Cup journey already come to an end? Which knockout match are you looking forward to the most? Let me know in the comments below!
