Action figure customizer extraordinaire Sillof is at it again, following up his Steampunk Star Wars collection with a World War II themed line of figurines. Choice pieces include Han Solo in a bomber jacket, holding a German Mauser (which incidentally was the base for the prop used in the Star Wars movies) and a gorgeous rendition of a Stormtrooper, outfitted in armour and burlap. The gallery is below. [Raving Toy Mania]

These are amazing customized figures. They should do a WWII version of Star Wars in comic book form someday. Would be a pretty sweet take on the originals.

Yeah, World War II was so cool we really need action figures… I just hope no Hebrew will see this site otherwise they will be offended by this (I know I would be and I’m not PC at all). Please be a little more tactful next time, so collectors won’t be seen as the most stupid people on this world for not realizing that WWII _action figures_ are not that cool and “beautiful”.

Geez Theo, are you a little sensitive?
Report Permalink“cool and beautiful” are comments about the design and sculpture. Not a comment on the holocost!
Why don’t you grow up and stop being so offended by everything.

I’m not easily offended, in fact I wasn’t offended like this in a looong time. I’m from Germany and maybe we’re a little sensitive about our past. Still, it’s not cool to have WWII action figures. Sorry, but stuff like this is what’s not grown up.

Star Wars action strikes everybody in few days as this film on watching will know about Star Wars Costumes, where there are exactly found in Eastern Toys.
