Cyber Wars: the latest from Sillof's Workshop

I have sung the praises of Sillof before. He re-imagines Star Wars characters in a variety of other settings, then crafts handmade action figures for them.
Sillof's latest project is Cyber Wars:
This line was actually one of the first redesign idea I had almost 15 years ago, in 99, when I first started to redesign characters. The line is intended to have a 90's sci-fi aesthetic. It has some elements of Cyberpunk, the Matrix, Akira, Ghost in the Shell, etc. I envisioned the movie as a struggle by a group of rebel hackers struggling to break free from the oppressive system of control by a mega technological corporation that controlled all aspects of society. I tried to stay true to my original ideas for characters as I made the line.
The figurine to the side is Sillof's reworking of Luke Skywalker--Link Sourcecoder:
Link is a new to the world of hacking he is forced to go on the run after his family was targeted by Vector. I went with the classic color scheme but incorporated the mechanical hand to go with the sci-fi feel.
