Those look weird inside, like they're made up of different types of plastic all melted together, but far from homogeneous. Or perhaps they've mixed them with some kind of fiber (wood?).

I assumed the former. I've seen pallets and other such things made from obviously dissimilar plastics that stick together but don't meld together. They have a fibrous look to them. They even break more like wood than plastic, presumably because of it. And that's what I'd expect such building blocks to look like.

Of course, there's flammability to be considered. Burn, baby, BURN!
