Sorry for the late response Troopa, was at work. Nice satan trips.
Happily. There are tons of tuts online for making one, I'm hardly the first person to make a homemade cardboard cutout. But most online tutorials on this are shit and my quick rundown probably won't be much better, but here goes:
First, make sure you have a big enough sheet of sturdy cardboard to make your cutout with. This is probably the hardest step, as finding good cardboard can be a bitch. Thankfully at my job, we often have lots of good leftover packing cardboard that would've gone straight into the recycling bin, so this wasn't a problem for me. I got a few sheets, but none were big enough to fit Koopa's whole body, so I used a mixture of masking tape and glue to fix a few sheets together, double-layered for sturdiness. Take pic related (or any full body pic of Koopa you might have), and feed it into rasterbator.net (ignore the lewd name, it is a perfectly helpful non-porn site) and fiddle around with the Output size option until the end result is around Koopa's canonical height of 151.5cm (MARGINS CUT AWAY). I went a smidge over, to account for the grey border. Keep going through the process, not adding any effects or color shit, and you'll have a printer ready PDF to use.
(...OR, if your printer uses A4 size paper because it's the standard in your country like mine, then just use the one I generated: https://files.catbox.moe/lbno8t.pdf )
After you've printed it all out, cut off the borders and arrange the sheets like a jigsaw puzzle on top of your cardboard (like >>4091282) to make sure it fits (and your cardboard is big enough. Then glue it all to the cardboard. Don't worry about gluing the white background, but make sure you've spread out the glue liberally behind the printed parts that will be a part of the finished product, ESPECIALLY the corners. When the glue is dried, cut it out, then voila. Cutting it out with scissors alone would be a pain, so mixing in the use of a box cutter knife will help. You should now be at the same step I'm currently at.
>though I would understand that you probably want to make money out of it, its kinda tough for the non-american Troopas

As stated here: >>4092338, I'm actually hesitant about selling and shipping one out since shipping out a big ol' sheet of cardboard, not folding it up, and having it arrived undamaged (while preferably still not paying an absurd shipping cost) is a legit concern. If all of us Troopas were all neighbors this wouldn't be an issue and I would be more than happy to make more for absolutely anyone who wanted one, since making my own has been fun. But if you REALLY feel unable to make one yourself, let me know, and I'll see what we can arrange. Hell, I'd even deliver it to you personally if you're a fellow UKbro, if need be.
