Cardboard robots are nothing new, but cardboard robot toys that feature movable parts and such a high level of detail are. Pietro Viviani, owner of the Etsy store Cardboard Myth, is behind each of these eco bots. The toys differ noticeably from other robot toys in that they aren’t made of plastic, which makes them greener and ensures that they can be easily recycled.
Each of these cardboard robot toys are highly detailed and are made out of nothing but cardboard. Viviani has even made a replica of the ED-209 from the film Robocop, which should please movie geeks. Each cardboard robot toys sells for $33.68, so they cost a bit more than normal toys. That being said, each one is completely recyclable and also doubles as a piece of art.
