Very cool JLA by gaslight figures

Someone has kitbashed some very cool Justice League of America action figures, giving them a Victorian look and feel. I'm having trouble picking a favorite. Aquaman is very cool, but so are the Flash, Hawkgirl, Green Lantern, Superman... jeez, all of them, really.

You can see them in more detail on the source site, Sillof's Workshop. Thanks to Jeff at HeroMachine for the original link. It's covered over at the Evil GM's site, too.

Ride far and jump far, Evel. You'll be missed.
