Cardboard Jon

Cardboard Jon, or American Jon, was created for a bumper for The Runaway Guys Colosseum 2022 by MalMakes, mostly as a joke because Jon was the only founding TRG member to not be around in person. Prior to the requisite bumper airing, this was hinted at as "Mal's Craft Project". A glimpse of it was shown in a YouTube Short on StephenVlog posted prior to the bumper's airing if you had a keen eye.

Trivia

 * Apparently has his social security number written on his back. This is what makes him "American", as Canada doesn't have that system.
 * Canonically, he's the third Alt-Jon to be made "physically". The first two times were Jon's cosplays of Buffton Jon and RosaJon.
 * This is the second time an Alt was made for a bumper (after Super Sentai Rosajon), although it was only adopted as such after the fact.
 * This is the first time a TRG friend (MalMakes) has made an Alt-Jon on their own. KampyDK is credited for going to FedEx to print it out.
 * The height listed in the bio section includes the stand when folded out completely, making it taller than Jon, Emile, Stephen Georg, and even R osaJon' s joke height.
 * It currently lives in Raleigh, North Carolina, with Stephen and Mal. While they were moving to North Carolina, it was temporarily with Stephen’s parents in Stephen’s old bedroom.
