Upcycled Toys Created from Junk Material

                                                                      

 These incredible toys are some amazing creations by Rupert Valero, a soldier serving in Kandahar, Afghanistan.  Rupert's action figure toys are made from scrap and recycled material (found in Afghanistan) like soda cans, bottle caps, used deodarant cans and any used stuff.  Rupert Valero has been collecting action figures for many years but his artistic skills emerged after he was stationed in Afghanistan. Rupert's awesome action figures can be purchased from his Etsy webshop.  Enjoy some of Rupert's incredible upcycled action toys.
