I don't like the look enough to spend HT price, but I keep hoping Hasbro will do a Black Series of the design.

Is there a wire down the center of the hood?

I think he looks great here from the Figure Hideout as usual! I’m not sure how I’ll have him posed yet, but I do like how he looks with the hooded robe on. I wonder how soon Sideshow might get this since their expected window is still for April.
I haven't seen any video mention it, but one did show that the back of the hood is stitched down in the back.
Given how nice the hood has looked in most images of it so far, that seems like a decent enough solution to get the hood to lay well.
The Solo Maul sculpt is awesome. It’s based on that specific look. I actually think it’s one of the better Hot Toys portraits I have in my own collection

Yeah, I hate it lol. I see zero Solo RP in that sculpt. None. Ziltch. Notta.

His face had aged and looked different to what we were used to in TPM.
And I thought the figure portrait was pretty faithful to it albeit idealized like most Hot Toys portraits.

Yeah, no I get RP looked different and older. I simply don't see that likeness transferring to that figure in anyway whatsoever.
Guess my eyes are broken lol

Man, HT needs to start doing wires down the center. Medicom did it right from almost 2 decades ago. Still the best sewn Maul cloak to date. Material off but I'll be using that for this.
It's unfortunate, but for now, I set the bar for HT at getting the shape right and having the hood usable. The robe for ROTS Obi-Wan is atrocious, you have to use magnets and odd folds just to get it to look remotely decent and like Kenobi looks in the movie, and given that he had it up for multiple scenes, it's not like it could be passed off as hey, they didn't care because it doesn't need to go up.
How does the Medicom robe work with the DX Maul? I have used it with my Sideshow custom, but it feels a bit snug on him, but it is passable.

before and after using the death stick
Thinner belt goes a long way.
That side by side really shows an improvement in the tailoring when it originally only appeared to be the heads and LEDs lightsabers being updated
Indeed, and in Justin’s video, it looked like the tunic fabric has the pimply quality of the film costume now.
Definitely a big improvement over the previous version, but I still hate those bulky and toyish looking hands they keep giving us. Why can they not make something that looks like normal, black leather gloves??
