Pokemon Fan Creates Awesome Holographic Spiritomb
Spiritomb, like other Ghost-type Pokemon, has a floaty, ethereal appearance that's hard to replicate in real-life. What better way to try, then, than bringing the spooky ghost-type Pokemon to life as a hologram?
Ghost-type Pokemon have been fan favorites since their introduction in Pokemon Red and Blue, with new creatures being added to the list in nearly every mainline series entry.

After he was satisfied with the design, he used a 3D printer to produce it, with it taking 30 hours just to produce the basic keystone. Once everything's printed, BigRig carefully sands, paints, and assembles the base so that it can hold the fan.
The final product is very impressive, and would likely be a striking decoration to have in any Pokemon fan's home. It's easy to imagine this
