Steampunk Justice League of America modded action figures

A brilliant action-figure modder has created a set of custom steampunk Justice League figs based on the Gotham by Gaslight comics. They're absolutely perfect:

Inspired by the comic book, Gotham by Gaslight by Mike Mignola and Brian Augustyn. Set in 1880's , Batman attempts to stop Jack the Ripper, who has come to Gotham.

I attempted to re-design the famous members of the Justice League in the Victorian Era. I went for a darker look & tried to give them the right period feel, but also keep the feel of the original character.

Speaking of Gotham, they'd be right at home here http://my.opera.com/gjhall/albums/showpic.dml?album=66369&picture=935520

Those who like this kind of concept may also want to check out the comic JLA: Age of Wonder (here is the cover of the first issue featuring The Flash, Starman, Superman, Green Lantern, and Lex Luthor & Lois Lane; here is the cover of the second issue featuring Plastic Man, Wonder Woman, Batman and The Atom. Info on the storyline here.)

There must be steampunk in the air today, I blogged about a steampunk guitar today on my blog Guitar Noize!

I recently rediscovered Gotham by Gaslight among my childhood comics. Easily one of the best ever Batman one-offs.

And these beautifully realized figures are the first articles of steampunk that I've unreservedly loved. Absolutely perfect indeed. I tip my hat to the artist.

I love that Aquaman. If DC published an Aquaman book with that look, I would definitely pick it up.

Even though similar things have been done, these are some great designs; Hawkgirl is awesome.

Those who like these are advised to check out the work of Glorbes, a customs maker who posts on Fwooshnet. Amazing stuff, and most of it in the same vein.

What's a good resource for identifying the hallmarks of steampunk fashion?
