I never really liked steam-punk because the technology just didn't make sense to me. But these figures look flipping amazing, i would love to have some of them on my desk!
These Steampunk Star Wars Figures Are Bully!

Some pretty nice work, but I have to give one piece of criticism:
A but unoriginal to use such obviously german uniform details for Darth Vader. It's getting a bit old that pretty much everyone sees old, historical germany as the arhcetypical "evil empire".
Also, Luke looks pretty inappropriate. If the story had taken place in a pseudo-Victorian steampunk setting, then Luke would've hailed from a desert land, and by that reasoning he should've been wearing clothes inspired from middle eastern articles of clothing if you ask me.

Those are pretty sharp looking. I have to ask though, why did Jabba get turned into a Vogon? Will Han be forced to attend poetry sessions whilst in carbonite?

I really like a few of them, namely the Empire ones, the pilot guy, and C3-PO. I might look into these later. Thanks for the article.
Am I the only one that just doesn't get "steampunk"? Really, why? What's the point? Yes, I've seen some pretty creative steampunk stuff but why create something original instead. To me it seems taking an existing idea and adding rust and pipes is a bit... empty.
I am sure I am not the only one that thinks this but... Does anyone notice that Steampunk Luke Skywalker looks a lot like Cid from FFVII? just saying...
