Hot Toys - DX16 / DX17 - The Phantom Menace - Darth Maul and Sith Speeder

[Wor-Gar]

Decided to futz Maul today... gave that terrible cloak a try...

 

[jedibear]

I haven't even attempted the cloak yet. That looks pretty good, especially the hood on the head.

I'm liking the scream head a bit more for display...probably because it's so different from many of the Mauls we've seen previously...and it is really well done.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Thanks, JB.

Yeah, there's so many different parts to use you can really make three different Mauls... Cloaked, Naboo Duel and maniac Maul.

A little annoying that the instructions say Maul comes with a left and right binoc-holding hands... but in the box you only get a right binoc-holding hand.

Ok I'm glad I'm not ****ing crazy. I kept wondering what the other hand would be. I commented earlier, odd they only included a left fist too; I don't know if I've not seen both fists included on a figure whether they punched someone or not.

This is still my favorite prequel figure

Amazing shots Darth Fok!

 

[Cocoboloboy]

Nice pics, guys!

Great cloak shots, Wor-Gar. I just tried mine out the other day. Kinda hard to get it to sit right. I stuck some nickels in the dangly sleeves to give them some weight. Doesn’t look too bad.

Great pics Darth Fok! Where did you pick up the signed Ray Park plate?

Nice! Is that a 2.5 x 3.5 plaque? I've definitely toyed with the idea of doing some of those plaques.

Yeah, cloak is stiff and really a poor fabric -- much worse than I thought it would be. And water treatment doesn't seem to do anything much like the Leia dress. You really have to work it and find places that you can 'prop' it against (like arms at side holding it in place). That said, I do like the look of it on Maul... haven't had this look since the 3 3/4 inch figure.

My cloak sort of sweeps to the left so I tried to work it in as a kind of wind-swept look.

Should have mine in a couple days, very excited.

I won’t mess with a water treatment then. This is about as good as I could get it.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Yep, that works. I mean, he pretty much wore this cloak through the entire movie until he removed it to die.

Yeah. The stand I ordered from rebel scum, all were responsible prices.

Did the plaque come from rebel scum as well? Is it a website or someone here on this site?

 

[Wor-Gar]

I wonder if a wash would help soften up the cloak? It feels so stiff that there might be some kind of starch in it.

 

[Darth Fok]

The plaque was done by outside of this site. Can?t remember as it was years ago

 

[IronPatriotFTW]

Aside from some white powder on the clothes, the figure arrived in wonderful condition. Such a great figure, I?m glad I ordered him. This is my first DX and he comes with tons of stuff which is awesome.

I think my saber came straight, honestly I just threw it into a quick pose and threw it in a detolf. I?ll give it a better go over soon enough.

He takes up a whole shelf in a action pose.

I love the second headsculpt.


I got the DX16, I hope I won?t regret not getting the speeder like I originally planned.
