Toy Modder Extraordinaire Steampunks Return of the Jedi
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] -

Question of the Day: Do You Still Play With Toys?
After diving into the disastrous effects having a toy collection can have on the love life of a grown man, I feel compelled to ask: are you an adult that still plays with toys? And, just to be clear, when I say "toys" I am referring to products normally reserved for children—like action figures and legos. If you do, make sure to list your favorites in the comments. More » -

Jin Saotome's Custom Action Figures Really Capture the Essence of Tony Stark
The Iron Man movie may have short-changed Tony Stark's legendary drinking problem, but Jin Saotome really captures the essence of his addiction with this boozed up version of our favorite party loving superhero. However, Saotome's brilliant work is not confined to parody figures alone. As you can see from the gallery below, he brings a lot to the table. Hit the Wired link to check out more of his custom figures. [Wired] More » -

WWII Star Wars Action Figures
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 armor and burlap. The gallery is below. [Raving Toy Mania] More » -

Star Wars Action Figures Stoke the Steampunk Fire
You would think that steampunk would have gotten old by now, but when masterful artists like Sillof work their magic on products like Star Wars or Iron Man figures, we just can't help but get swept up in all the nerdiness. Peruse the gallery to see what I mean. [Sillof's Workshop via Slashfilm] More » -

Steampunk Justice League Modded Action Figures
Inspired by the comic book, Gotham by Gaslight by Mike Mignola and Brian Augustyn (Batman vs. Jack the Ripper set in the late 19th century), the modder behind these action figures sought to place the members of the Justice League in the Victorian era. I think you will agree that he did one hell of a job. Hit the gallery to check out the individual figures. [Sillof's Workshop via Boing Boing] -

Make Your World of Warcraft Character Into an Action Figurine
Creating an action figure that kind of looks like you is cool and all, but if you're a World of Warcraft player you're probably more attached to your virtual avatar's looks than your own. That could be because you spend more time grinding than washing yourself, but if that's you, FigurePrints can make a scale model of your character for the relatively low price of $115 (including shipping).

Hulk PC Mod is Nothing Short of Spectacular
It may have taken 14 months to complete, but I think you will agree that the gargantuan effort put forth on this Hulk PC Mod is readily apparent. This is in addition to the fact that it takes a tremendous amount of creative vision to attempt a caseless mod with a 13-inch poseable Hulk figure and a micro ATX motherboard. Plus it gets mad points for theatrics. [Fusion Mods] More »
