CardBoy

CardBoy is made from - yes you guessed it - card, with a little bit of vinyl too! CardBoy comes from a cardboard box and in fact is a cardboard box. (Although, that is not to say that he's 'living in a box, living in a cardboard box!' He does however fight crime in cardboard city.) Unpack him, fold him inside out and put him together and you have one of this years most sort after design classics.

CardBoy comes in eight different guises, though which one you get when you order one, no-one can say as they are all 'blind packed'. CardBoy may be small, coming in at only 9 x 5.5 x 5.5cm, but he punches above his weight when it comes to uber-cool urban style.

Batteries not included, but then you don't need any.
