Darth Malgus - Sideshow 1/6th Scale Figure

[Chrono]

I'm fine with my repainted Dooku as is. Dunno if I'll upgrade when they release him or not. But I really don't care much for Malgus' undamaged head. Will still display him with his damaged face and no breather mask. The thing about him that I love the most is his lightsaber. It's something that I will definitely be using if I was a sith.

OMG your dooku is stunning! Where did you get that from?!? I see you repainted it, but I did not know they made a 1/6 dooku to begin with. Do you have any before and after photos?

Edit: just searched and your dooku is the hasbro 1/6 version? i know there isn't a SS version. I would most likely have it by now lol.

Awesome display btw! You're just missing Sidious haha

It could be the Hasbro sculpt....it was a good sculpt with a lousy paint job.

Yep! The Hasbro version. Changed the bodies to a taller body with peg extensions. Now he's as tall as Malgus I think.

Kinda forgot that his eyebrows are actually brown and not white. But I'll repaint the eyebrows when I'm free. And I also need to do the lightning force effect using twisty ties on his hands.

Yup! It's very good imo.

 

[KerotanFrog]

Wow. I cannot believe that's hasbro. May pick if up lolol

If I may ask, how did you paint it?

I sent it in for a repaint. I can't paint skin color for ****e. Hahaha. Sorry can't help you further

Hahah that's ok
I've been looking at the sculpt and idk if it needs repainting.
Which body did you use for it?

Knock off HT body with extended pegs. Gotta find a narrow shoulder to make the suit fit.

I sent it in for repaint mainly for the skin tone. I still have to detail the hair, facial hair and eyebrows.

 

[KerotanFrog]

Just got it brand new off eBay for $20 and free shipping!

Hmm.. How is it out if the box? Saw positive YouTube reviews but the pics weren't too detailed.

Nice! Its okay, nothing spectacular. But to think Hasbro made such a good figure is nuts. I removed the stitches from his cape to get a fuller range of motion with his arms. But I do wish his cape drapes down like Malgus' or Grievous'. His cape is made of a thicker cloth. Easier to shape, sure, but it's hard to make it look natural. Let us know when you've got it!

 

[KerotanFrog]

Okay will do!
Yeah I couldn't believe it when I saw it was hasbro. They nailed Dooku.
What I mean is if I don't want to mod it, will it look good in that pose you had right away? (Left arm stretched, lightsaber down)

It'll look good, sure. But you have to remove the stitches from the cape. Or else you can't get it up as much as I'm doing with mine. The stock cape looks amazing in a static pose with his arms tucked under the cape.

 

[huskie]

I still don't know why they made this before Count Dooku.

Ok good good. Haha I'm just worried I've overhyped myself. How do I remove the stitches? And I was so happy when I found out the blade is removable. I contemplated cutting it off and finding away to reattach it.

I think with good lighting, the face will look really nice. Just like the medicom mgs4 old snake. Seems really similar.

And how necessary is it to swap out the body? I found a ttm21 body on eBay for $24.99. Saw someone on another site recommend it.

Yeah you have a good point. Malgus looks good, but there's no excuse for Dooku to have been ignored like this.

 

[GeneralZodLives]

I'm surprised SS didn't make Dooku. I'm assuming there was an issue getting Lee's likeness? I'd buy one in a heartbeat if they or HT make him.

 

[KerotanFrog]

If Hasbro can do it, HT and SS have no excuse. I'm sure its coming.. eventually. Supposedly, its been talked about for a while now.

And agreed. The Hasbro is a good placeholder until HT makes it.

Hahaha. Well, a good ol' fashion scissors or any knife really. They stitched the folds together. You'll see what I mean when you get it. And yeah, they just casted him in skin tone and painted everything else like MGS4 Snake. But that also is being sent to be painted for me. As for the body, before switching he's about SS Maul's height? Can't remember, but I hated it. I might send in my lightsabers to pixelpiper to change them into the Cold Cathode Lightsabers. It would be absolutely insane if all my SW stuff has their lightsabers lit up. Just need to collect all the figures that I want and I'm good to go.

I have no idea why they're not doing Dooku. He's absolutely cool with his curved hilt.

If anyone wanted to do a lightning effect thingy, using twisty ties are amazing. Did it for my Thor, and it could be done with the Siths as well. Just need to paint them whatever color you want. Sidious would benefit best.

 

[KerotanFrog]

Woah all cathode sabers would be awesome. I think I'll do it too. It's just kinda expensive. $50 per saber?

And the thing I don't like about the repaints is that they make them too dark. If you remember, old snake is super pale in mgs4. All the repaints make him look like he was chilling on south beach with mei ling the whole game. (Mei ling likes old guys joke )

And tell me more about this twisty tie thing. It does look sick. But which kind is it? And you said you paint them?

Sorry
