Artist and Star Wars fan Sillof is back with a new line of custom action figures! His latest project is a series of figures that illustrate the connection between Star Wars and Masters of the Universe.
Most kids, myself included, did not realize at that time that the Masters of the Universe was essentially a mash up of Conan the Barbarian and Star Wars with some of the style of Frank Frazetta and elements of Flash Gordon (of course Star Wars already owed much to that universe as seen here.) This line is intended as a commentary on the similarities of both toy universes. This in not a mash up or intended be “Look at this character dressed as that character”. Rather, it imagines a world in which the similarities are extended to place the Star Wars archetypes inside the Masters of the Universe world.
Get a closer look at all the figures at Silo’s site.
