Steampunk Star Wars

I did have something witty and insightful that I planned to post today, but between toying with the pacing of CALLARION AT NIGHT and general busyness, I kind of forgot. So instead I will today regale you with photos of Steampunk Star Wars action figures.



The view of all the characters -- Obi-Wan is on the far left and a stormtrooper is on the far right.




C-3PO and R2-D2


Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luke Skywalker




Chewbacca and Han Solo




Stormtrooper and Darth Vader

Am I too much of a nerd if I say that I really really want to buy the entire set?

You are not a nerd. They are very cool. (Well, maybe you are a nerd, but who cares?)

Valerie Geary said...

Okay... that is AWESOME!!! (Did I just reveal my true nerd colors just now??) :D

Matthew Delman said...

Valerie --

Yes, yes you did. But that's ok.

Susan --

Thanks for the OK on being nerdy. These figures are just too cool to not share with you all.

Oh my goodness that's FANTASTIC!

Natalie Whipple said...

Oh, I want. I want! Wow, I love whoever decided to make these. /drool

You're not alone. I want them too, and I'm not even that huge of a fan of Star Wars. (I know, I know... I just don't get it, I guess). But yes-- want!!!

Joshua McCune said...

Very cool, but where are the ewoks?

Stephanie Thornton said...

We all know you're a nerd, Matt.

But those are soooo cool!

Susan Kaye Quinn said...

These are beyond cool, somewhere in a perfect storm of awesomeness.

I'm really, REALLY, going to have to start reading steampunk now.

Bane - I'm pretty sure steampunk would be an advancement in technology for the Ewoks.

Also: Is is me, or does Chewie look unchanged from the original??

Matthew Delman said...

Susan Quinn --

The original Chewie just had the bandoleer as clothing. This one includes a vest and pants.

"Perfect storm of awesomeness" ... totally have to use that phrase somewhere now.

All --

I'm glad to see I wasn't the only one set to drooling by these.

Amalia Dillin said...

No, no! Not at nerd-- a COLLECTOR. And man, totally worth snapping up.

Emma Michaels said...

Natalie said...

I've been coveting these for AGES. Genius, I tell you. GENIUS.

And Luke looks kind of non-wuss. How did they accomplish that?

Shelby said...

well, being a nerd isn't a bad thing is it?

:)

cheers.

p.s. I like the figures.

I've been a recovering nerd for years, but I just had a major relapse.

I think it's more geeky than nerdy to want stuff this cool!
