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]
