The only one I don't like is Vader, but the rest kick ass.

Very cool customs.

someone please explain steampunk to me

it's a genre of science fiction. the concept is this, really: what if technology came about in an earlier time? steampunk usually takes place in the victorian era, and includes things that never actually existed back then, like computers and such.

[edit] looks like someone beat me to it!

[Apocalypticon]

[GuyverJ]

Very cool!! Like that R2D2's the most.

[Spawnomite]

IMPRESSIVE, MOST IMPRESSIVE!!!

[Battlefield]

Holy crap those are amazing!

[Thrall]

Am I alone in thinking those are horrible?

[Joranthalus]

i hope so. Those are fantastic!

[Thrall]

The concept is good, but they just look bad. More so the figures themselves than how they turned out.

If that makes any sense.

While not a fan of most steampunk I like these, they most definitely hit the mark.

Two things I would change though, one is getting darth out f the outfit and making a more metal looking designed cape, secondly I would drop the size of artoo's detail, giving him a little finer look.

Nice to see some creative customizing on these boards.

steampunk is really taking off recently
considering that it's been around for a while ... it has just been getting more and more popular in the last 2 years :D

neat figures

it makes sense... you're just utterly wrong. Those are fantastic and you're very very wrong. How's it feel to be so completely wrong? ;) :D

I'd have to be wrong in order to feel what it's like to be wrong. ;):D

The concept I think is better than the execution, but they're still extremely cool. More steampunk is always a good thing.

metal cape? The look he was going for was jackets I would have suggested a longer jacket. The thing about R2 is he is a furnace and shouldnt look slim and fine he needs to be bulky.

[BloodySloth]

I like everything about Vader except his mask, specifically his hamburger-for-a-mouth.

I guess I would have approached the whole concept of Vader differently. I would have gone for a big, bulky suit, like an old diving suit or one of the big daddies from BioShock, since the thing is supposed to be a life support system as much as anything else.

looks to be Marvel Legends...
?????
the Chewie looks like a custom made from Doc.McCoy

[Jin-Saotome]

I think they're freaking AWESOME! I don't do steampunk yet but noticed a good 10 emails a week I get are requesting that style of figures, usually steampunk Marvel heroes.

[SyedFahd]

those are very very good. Steampunk is awesome.

[jt4470]

Those are some amazing customs.

[moviemaniacks]

not really digging the Vader, but the others are great. You have to go to his website to see it, but the R2 lights up inside.
