Toy Modder Extraordinaire Steampunks Return of the Jedi
Posted by Gizmodo US Edition at 5:00 PM on October 10, 2008
Some of you may be suffering from Steampunk fatigue, but I still get giddy when I see it done up right. Master toy modder Sillof, whose work we've covered a couple times before, has tickled my fancy with an update to his original Steam Wars action figure line. This time you've got even more detailed Steamtroopers, a mob boss-like Jabba the Hutt, vicious Ewoks and (for the boys) Steampunk Slave Leia. Check out the gallery, and his website. [Sillof]

@rclAlaric: I admit, I'm just looking for an excuse to post this, but his feet do look regular sized at the end there. I just love that dance..

Just how does Admiral Ackbar jam those fish feet of his into those tiny shoes?

I'm not the only one who thinks that Jabba looks like a Vogon, right?

Is that an Ewok or is that Chewie?? And Steampunk these may be, most of them have zero resemblance to their originals. I mean, that's Emperor Palpy?

@praefector: Sadly I think it is an Ewok but it does look more like Chewbacca.
I also don't see any resemblance between most of these models and the actual characters in the film, but at least the Ackbar one looks similar.

Does anyone else think the Ewoks look like D&D bugbears?

@OMG! Ponies!: Well, it can't be any worse than the one about the lump of green puddy that some other guy found in his armpit one midsummer morning.

Leia doesnt have that look of distress that I like on my captive slave women.

@praefector: It has to be an Ewok. Chewy didn't have ears on the top of his head, and the skull on the figure's shoulder wouldn't be so big on something like Chewbacca.

At least the Ewok looks like it could beat up a stormtrooper.

@Toastie: That's the obnoxious little critter Jabba eats when he won't shut the hell up! I think he did a great job, with that one especially.

@venomous_duck41:
Yeah, well, she did end up killing Jabba with the chain that kept her at his side, so I'm guessing there's not a lot of distress going on inside either.

There's a giant cork plug fitted into each shoe. Note that Ackbar has crab-claw hands, which means....
