They're Not 'Toys'-Theyre Action Figures

If you are at all like me, then you are a connoisseur and collector of finely crafted and artistically imbued action figures. Mind you, I don't play with them, i just take them out of the box and arrange them in a glass case so i can pretend my office is a museum. See Here.
It is one thing, however, to collect action figures; it is quite another to man up and build your own. You can go on to trump that by creating action figures of your favorite franchises with amazing art inspired concept variants. For the highest achievement in the latter category, look no further than SILLOF's WORKSHOP , where you will find custom figure collections including (among other things) WWII SW, SteamPunk StarWars, Victorian Avengers, McQuarrie SW, and The Venture Bros-just to name a few.
It is imperative that you visit www.sillof.com to browse the full galleries, as what i have posted above is a paltry sample meant to whet your appetite. If you have any interest at all in the future of sculptural craftsmanship; you will heed my advice and pay SILLOF a visit. His website is way better than ours, anyhow.

Steampunk Star Wars

The idea of a steampunk version of Star Wars has been on a bunch of blogs lately. This is a freaking awesome interpretation of Vader, but what is his saber made of? It looks like red-hot metal. I found it here. The original person given credit for this idea is Eric Poulton.
