Action Figures Reimagine Star Wars as a Western

[irani_che]

R2 D2 really should be mexican or polish (i dont know why i first thought polish, i think its the sound of the language)
and CP30 has to translate for him

This stuff is just too cool. Even better than the Steampunk ones, and those were awesome.

Can you buy these action figures anywhere?

Now that I think of it, they're probably freakin expensive if so...

 

[SmileyBat]

Fucking awesome!

Seconded!

Darth Vader as some corrupt or despotic sheriff/marshall? He should be a General of a ruthless Union army or the leader of some organization like the Ku Klux Klan.

Dear George Lucus,
If you truely intend to continue abusing your fans and unnaturally prolonging the life of the Star Wars franchise, please use these figures (Or maybe the steampunk ones) as the basis for future projects. Yes, it'll probably suck if you have anything to do with it, but at least it'll be better then most of the other shit you've vomitted up over the past decade.

They made R2-d2 the manliest character in the lineup.

this...is pretty awesome
this caught my attention much faster than the steam punk news ever did for me (hmmm firefly?)

 

[Chase Yojimbo]

It's called Firefly, and River is the only Jedi.

 

[Bloodstain]

Wow...Darth Vader looks...badass. I want that outfit.

This needs to be a movie one day. A western re-imaging of Star Wars, itself heavily based on westerns, would make an excellent film if done earnestly and with heart. And this is coming from someone who generally hates westerns.

George Lucas has milked the series enough, but why not.

I'm finding it difficult to continue being awe struck by all these 'amazingly creative' people.

Don't get me wrong, what all these creators have done is very impressive and their skill at what they do is unquestionable...

But when it's seemingly only ever aimed at Star Wars I feel bad because while I look at these things that are, like I said impressive shows of skill and artistic ability. I can't shake the feeling that I'm just very, very bored of Star Wars now...

These are pretty cool, I thought the face bandannas designed to look like the helmets was a clever little idea.

Obi Wan wasn't really recognizable at first, due to his duster's color, but I'm guessing it's a bad picture. The description says "I kept the brown and tan color scheme.", but it looks black and gray in the picture.

Chewbacca is a tad too muscular, he looks more like a certain Cimmerian Barbarian, than a native american, or indeed, Chewbacca.

But, having said that, the Stormtrooper looks ace, and so does Boba Fett and Vader.

I didn't know AHHNOLD was posing as Chewie for Wild West Wars

 

[MrGalactus]

Most of em just look like NCR rangers to me.

 

[Psycho Cat Industries]

Someone should make a contest out of these remakes

 

[MB202]

Due, these are SO FLIPPING AWESOME! This guy, Sillof, is a GENIUS!

 

[Krantos]

Given the fact that Star Wars was already a Space Western, this isn't too much of a stretch. After all Look at Han's figure. The only difference is they added a hat.

 

[Sejs Cube]

I love how Western Chewie, all injun, decked out in bear skins with a tomahawk...

...also a whipcrack mechanic. Amongst his people he is known as the great warrior, Properly Calibrates Instrumentation.
