London-based designer Ryan McIlhinney made this lamp out of action figures held together with a polyurethane lacquer:
Trawling for materials quickly became an obsession, with Mc Elhinney’s limited budget, natural eye and vivid imagination ensuring he spotted the perfect finds to bring to life his early designs. Full of expression and movement, dollar-a-bag sacks of second-hand plastic toys became the designer’s chosen medium. Telling a story with each manipulation, Mc Elhinney meticulously gloss-painted and fused together each figure in a six week process, creating the first in his series of ‘Toy’ frames and lamp bases.
I can see Buzz Lightyear, the Thing, and Spider-Man. Can you identify any others?

This is the pierce-free model: the metal hoop allows the deluxe pencil sharpener collection to be attached to your child's lip, ear lobe, belly button, or ... other ear lobe ... without the shame (and expense!) of having a piercing!
