There’s something inherently special about the Pokémon community. It’s not the mutual nostalgia or the excitement of the battles—not that there isn’t plenty of both to go around. It’s the creativity and passion that fans bring to the table. And every few years, a fan-made project will come along that catches the whole community’s breath. One such recent example? A stunning 3D-printed statue of Cynthia and Garchomp that’s been going viral around the internet.
A Legendary Duo: Cynthia and Garchomp
Since her introduction in Generation IV, Cynthia has been one of the most highly regarded and legendary Champions within the world of Pokémon. With her streamlined black attire, flowing blonde locks, and authoritative demeanor, she’s the epitome of cool confidence. But without Garchomp, her namesake Dragon/Ground-type Pokémon for its speed, strength, and capacity to strike fear into the hearts of even the most battle-hardened trainers, her legacy would not be complete.
Together, Cynthia and Garchomp are now one of the franchise’s most iconic duos. Whether in heated game battles or climactic anime showdowns, their dynamic is undeniable—and it has endeared fans everywhere.
The craftsmanship is impeccable. From the detailed subtlety of Cynthia’s facial expression and clothing to the intensity and motion of Garchomp, it’s apparent that this wasn’t a simple print—this is a work of passion. The artwork is ideal in capturing the power and grace of both characters, and it is an excellent piece for any collector or Pokémon fan.
Want One? Here’s How
Even though this specific statue is not for direct sale, animeoxo3d has graciously made the 3D file downloadable on Patreon. Members can obtain STL files of split and unsplit statues, along with support files for various 3D printer configurations. You’re a professional 3D printing user or a novice; the files are simplified and customizable for your access.
These are also available in alternative versions that have a safe-for-work (SFW) version, so readers can choose the style most comfortable for their screen. And for readers who want to enjoy fan art from other franchises, animeoxo3d’s Patreon also has more extensive collections of high-resolution character models that range from anime to gaming.
Why It Resonates with Fans
It’s not surprising, therefore, that the Cynthia and Garchomp statue has been greeted with such open-armed affection. Both characters, naturally, occupy a permanent place in the history of Pokémon, and the statue captures their relationship perfectly. When animeoxo3d posted his work on Reddit, it proved instantly popular, attracting over 1,400 upvotes and a shower of admiring comments from fellow fanatics.
This piece of work is more than just a good piece of fan art—it’s a reminder of why the community of Pokémon is so wonderful. It shows us how fandom, art, and technology can be combined to produce familiar faces anew.
