Reflect Upon Childhood And The Ravages Of War With A Melted Toy Soldier Bowl

It the melted plastic army men bowl a statement about the futility of violence, and the transience of our own lives? Probably not, but it looks neat, and is a clever way to recycle old toys.

Each bowl is custom made with a random assortment of soldiers, meaning each fused basket is uniquely melted together. A perfect, individual snowflake of plastic warfare. Each bowl is £159.00, and available in Battle of Waterloo and English Civil War versions. What, no Franco-Prussian War model? Piffle! [Inhabitat]

    159 pounds? Its time to dig through the old toybox and fire up the oven. What rip off for a bit of melted plastic.

    I could throw a bunch of old army men into a wok and get the same result for free!

    …now if you’ll excuse me, I have a date with some random Lego bricks and a non-stick wok.

    I’d hardly call it a bowl.
    Perhaps a paperweight?
