Japanese university student and papercraft artist @02ESyRaez4VhR2l (Haruki) loves Japanese snacks and sweets just as much as the rest of us, but he appears to be a bit more interested in the packaging they come in. That's because Haruki, who's been featured on national television for his outstanding artwork, has a talent for turning that packaging into awesome characters and even scenery.
He's turned an empty Pringles can into a dashing gentleman, then a full-fledged boy band, chocolate boxes into Studio Ghibli-esque towns and Final Fantasy airships, and even a box of Chivas Regal into a badass knight!
Haruki's latest piece takes an empty box of Gari Gari Kun, a popular Japanese popsicle, and turns it into an impressively crafted winged superhero.

As with his previous work, Haruki creatively uses character features on the packaging--such as Gari Gari Kun's face--to craft his own figure's looks, and even tops it off with the "Soda" flavoring written on our masked hero's wing. Perhaps Soda-man would be an appropriate name.
