It is almost a certainty that if you are reading this article right now, you are in fact a geek. Don’t feel bad, everyone else here is too. It’s nothing to be ashamed about. What you really need to do is embrace your true self, instead of shying away from it. One of the best ways of doing this is to spruce up your work space. Chances are you already have a healthy (or unhealthy, depending on who you ask) collection of action figures brightening up your desk. But if not, here are a few places to get started with your redecorating.

Sillof’s Workshop

There really is no getting around it, steam punk looks awesome. The alternate reality futuristic setting has led to some of the best stories out there, as well as some of the most striking visual imagery. At Silloh’s Workshop, some of the most iconic characters–most notably those from the Star Wars universe–have been re-envisioned with a steam punk aesthetic. The results are pretty incredible. My pick? The seriously sophisticated looking Yoda.

Mighty Muggs

The majority of the heroes and villains we love are seriously tough looking guys and girls. But that doesn’t mean they can’t still look cute! Hasbro’s Might Muggs line takes characters from the Marvel, Star Wars, and Indiana Jones universes and super-deforms them, making even hideous creatures like Venom and Darth Maul look simply adorable.

Play Arts

This is for all of you Japanese role-playing fans out there. Square-Enix’s Play Arts line of figures takes recognizable characters from game series like Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest and renders them with stunning detail. Some of the figures–like the various versions of Cloud and his bad-ass motorcycle–are a little extravagant, but awesome enough to invoke a great deal of jealousy in anyone passing by your cubicle. That is, if you don’t mind parting with a god deal of money.

Mez-Itz

Though difficult to find, Mez-Itz are some of the coolest figures around. Like Mighty Muggs, these guys are smaller, deformed versions of their actual selfs that are almost too cute for words. And that is saying something, considering the series features characters from Alien, Army of Darkness, and Edward Scissorhands. But my personal favorite (and not just because they happen to be looking at me from my office shelf at the moment) is the Run DMC set, complete with tiny mics and turntables.
