Medicom Darth Maul

Remember folks...

All Sideshow Figures SUCK! And are CRAP!

All Medicom Figures are amazing, perfect, and the flaws are because the owners don't know how incredible Medicom is!

The SS maul sucks IMO,there's no bias,it just sucks!It has everything wrong with it,all non-fixable.Medi Maul appears to have the neck issue,but the rest of the complaints aren't complaints at all.It's you that's biased.

I'm not biased. I just don't think that figure is worth it's price. I look at my SS version and think I got a kickass figure for sixty bucks.

I own Medi Neo, Luke, both Vaders and Bruce Lee and think they were all worth what I paid for them. I think Jango and Boba will be worth what I pay based just on pictures.

But Maul based just on pictures is not worth the $150 I'd have to pay...not when I already have the fantastic Sideshow version anyway.

Wow! They do? No they don't all SUCK! But quite a few of them I could take a piss on,much less put them in my collection.

Right now I have two SS figure's in my collection,and I'm hoping SS does well with there armoured figure's,so I can add those as well.But SS Maul is definitely on the ++++ list for figures IMO.

pretty freaking sad that a thread dedicated to a Medicom figure draws out the such defensiveness... why do people feel the need to justify their preference of owning the slightly inferior sideshow product (when we all know that you are full of it)?

Yet in your very sad post you wish to dredge up the old arguement. LOL!
That is your opinion still mind you.

wow. so much hate. guess it's apprprate in a sith thread. No justification for it mate. Some of us like SS maul. and some don't some like medi maul, and some dont.
i can see, and appreciate the sides of the plate for both figures. personaly, i realy like medi-maul, AND SSC maul. i like them both enough,m, that i plan to own both of them. Already got SSc maul, just need to get some cash for a medi-maul, some time in the next few months.

I can't, and won't defend, or downplay the faults on side-maul any more than i will the faults on medi-maul. the falts are there, and no bit of justification will make them go away.

FYI, I concur 100% with everything said by michal crawford. Yes, even the part about it not being worth 150$, or three tikmes as good as Side-maul.
The thing is, i like it enough to ignore the price enough to buy one I'm also a good enough customizer that i'm gonna make him look as good as he can with a few changes here and there. IMHO, any SSC maul is awesome and medi sucks, or Medi is awesome and side maul sucks, is just fanboy posturing, and it's a pissing contest i can do without.

If the Sideshow version had his eyes painted in the same way as the Medicoms, that would make a big difference I think.

then he'd looked sleepy-eyed... trust me, it has to do with the sculpt.. same with SST luke.. the eye lids are not looking through the brow.

Well,it's too bad it's not.

 

[amarcord]

Well it's too bad it's not.

Sure is, it is the intensity in his eyes what makes the Medicom the winner.

 

[Ven]

The SST was not sculpted that way, even with the greatest repainter, you could not make maul look angry.. When sculpting an angry face his eyelids should be under the brow.

Like Venakin said,it's not just the paint,it's the sculpt.SS Maul got this
dumbfounded look on his face! Like "uh.. where's the party"?

And it's more than just the eyes that make Medi Maul the "winner".

 

[plasmid303]

Someone should repaint the SS Maul eyes, if they really wanted to prove a point.

Yes and the plastic belt and floppy sabers just seals the deal Just accept its not perfect... you'll probably prevent an ulcer if you do

And Venny, Coco did a repaint of the SS Mauls eyes and it did actually make a lot of difference... he still doesn't look pissed, but more determined than the stock SS paint.

I don't care what side of the fence your on, ALL ya'll can suck it!!!(i love this maul y'all can keep fightin like kids while i play like one)

 

[The Chaver]

How ya like them apples.

 

[galactiboy]

Found an image of Coco's... hope he doesn't mind me reposting it.

And just to be clear, I really do think the Medicom figure is great looking... but it does have a few shortcomings. I'm just prodding Chavez 'cause he's being an absolutist about everything

 

[Ven]

I was just going to post his picture!

Sorry coco, to use yours as an example, please forgive me.



It doesn't not look angry no matter how you paint it. Coco did an amazing job, as he pointed the eyes slightly upward like the medicom.. but the sculpt is just not angry enough.. and plus the jaws a bit wide.

here was my attempt.

 

[galactiboy]

Two pictures from different angles look a bit different on him. Looks like we each picked the one that supported our points better

Good post Ven, i'd have to agree.
