I know but I was really drunk and I felt bad for her. It was kind of a mercy thing.

You tell him Josh! LOL! The ugly ones need loving too!

Maul was the most difficult to photograph. If I put him in the shade, the pic was too dark. If I put him in the sun, it was too shiny. Here's what I have so far. Enjoy

perhaps someone has already cover this, but is maul's face tattoo supppose to be sculpted? if not, then that's pretty lame, especialy if you can see bleeds in paint.

Yup, it's been that way since the ordering images were posted, it's exactly what SSC advertised on their site for ordering. At least, from people's in hand images it looks just like the web images, those with it can verify how similar they are, but for sure, Maul's tats are sculpted in, probably to ensure consistency through the production, where some of the 1/6 Mauls show some inconsistency without guides to paint by.

Yeah, they're sculpted but other than a few with the light up feature not working I've not seen nor read any problems. It matches the Proto exactly and looks 2 be pretty damn perfect. I think there are some people just look for a reason to ***** about a SS product and trying to find something with this one. Cause there ain't anything IMO.

not really looking for a reason to ***** about SS (whatever ***** means) just expressing the first thing poped into my mind when I saw this. I am not a PF collector so I dont really bother to look at the proto pics. I do think SS makes great PF stuff, SW, marvel, etc, and I do appreciat the higher paint/sculpt quality 1/4 has over 1/6, that's why I was surprised to see sculpted tattoo lines since PF suppose to look more realistic to the real thing, and I never seen maul's face tattoos has little lines around them. (unless its supposed to be added digitaly in the special ediiton from Lucas in a few years...) As for the paint bleeds, well, I dont have a PF maul, so I can't really tell if that's very visible or not, i can only commend on what I see in the photos and they are very visible to me, and if the sculpted tattoo lines are there to guide the painters, then I guess they missed the mark.

I can see your point and would even agree with some of it. However, are you really going to look at it an inch away from your face?

Paint looks great on mine!

:maul

:maul

Mine 2 and I've looked upclose and personal to see if there is any bleeding.

 

[El Roranous]

I really can't see anyone complaing about Maul unless their saber didn't work. Honestly, this is one of the best SW PF's Sideshow has released. :maul

 

[minivader]

seriously guys, I dont have a PF maul so i can't look at it in person, all I can do is judge from the pics posted, and I see bleeds, what can I say, they are not there? And congrats to people that has a perfect maul, as to the bleed ones I see, well, paint op is a big category in terms of the quality for me, if I can see bleeds, then that post a problem to me.

 

[The Josh]

You're also looking at pics that are SUPER zoomed in that might show a slight bit of bleeding. I've not seen a pic that showed any bleeding that was more than where the two lines met.

 

[MaulFan]

Josh, if you look at the closeup side view Tom took of his Maul's head, you can see some bleeding, but considering how small it is in a picture that's about up to 1:2 scale, on 1:4 I'd bet it's minimal, as are the sculpted tats, in Tom's pics, with the lighting he used, you can't even tell the tats are sculpted, it just looks ****ing beautiful.

 

[The Josh]

I just looked and saw that. That's the only one I've seen where there was a bleeding issue. It's so noticeable I missed it the first 100 times I looked at it.

 

[BadMoon]

I'm still waiting for mine!

Sadly, I have several complaints on mine. The saber doesn't light up unless I stand there and hold it in place at a certain angle, and with a bit of pressure. As soon as I let go, it goes out. Also, two of the horns have problems. The front-most horn is bent at a really odd angle (that doesn't match what I see in any of the pictures that have been posted), and another looks like it was bumped against something during handling/packing for shipment. Some of the paint is gone, and the tip is sort of flattened off. And, the clear plastic saber blades are noticeably curved.

Back he goes...

alright guys, no need to get defensive.
Yes, I know how it is, when you like something and there are people that points out things about it, then it bothers you. Its natural, I do it too. but seriously, its just my personal opinion from observation of the pics posted, and I am not in any way or shape trying to change your opinion or make you agree with me or even debating with you about it. so relax, if you are happy with your maul, then enjoy it.

BTW, I do think that's what bleed means, where the two lines met. So I am not really sure what do you mean by that? there is bleed or there is no bleed?

 

[The Josh]

I'm not getting mad nor does it bother me that your pointing out something from one piece. I'm just giving you my POV since I acutally own the piece from looking at mine and others. Not just looking at pics on a message board. If anyone needs to relax it's you Mini.

Bleeding is like what you saw on the side of Tom's where you have the black going into a red area.

hey jlcmsu, its probably just how things gets lost in translation on a blog. if you are offended or something, then my apologies. And really though, weather there is bleed or not, its not that really a big concern for me since I am not getting Maul so I am not aggrevated or anything. all i am doing is just making a comment, based on what is posted like eveyone on this forum have done thousands of time, no big deal.
