Have you ever experienced the quick, sharp, stinging pain that shoots through your foot after you step on your son’s action figures barefoot? Do you sometimes wish they would just go away, someplace other than in the middle of the floor or his toy box? Ryan McElhinney has found a way to fuse lighting and the small figurines into something functional. McElhinney has created kid-friendly lamps out of bonded action figures. Each Toy Lamp is one of a kind made from recycled action figures bonded together then coated in a high goss polyurethane lacquer. What do you think of the action figure lighting, would you prefer your son’s toys to be in a lamp or in the middle of your floor?

I think this is hilarious, my son would have loved it in his room when he was younger! What a fun idea.
