That does look great! You got the cloak looking really good there.

Thanks gents!

This stuck in arrival phase at LCDN. I think they changed the status as soon as the ship departed HK. And now they are waiting the ship.

Luckily I ordered this through a dutch etailer that already shipped a few weeks ago. I have the 1:4 Vader on order through LCDN though and am already dreading the "en arrivage" period...

So, has anyone that had a slightly warped Maul lightsaber get a replacement from SS? I finally submitted a request with images on Monday, and today get a run around BS email response...

Spoiler

Thank you so much for taking the time to submit pictures of your Darth Maul Special Edition 1:6 figure. I have reviewed your pictures and compared them to our in-house sample and a few other pieces.

However, I do not believe we can provide you a replacement that would be a significant improvement over your current item. Keep in mind that all of these collectibles are hand-crafted and hand-painted by individual artists, so there will be slight variations in the cast, fit, paint application, and detail work between pieces.

Your request in regards to the bent dual-blade lightsaber hilt appears to be one of these common variations, as all the collectibles I examined looked similar to your current item. The last thing I would want is to send you an identical replacement that risks more serious damage during the shipping process.

That said if this piece does not match your expectations you can request to return it for a refund, per our 30 Day Product Guarantee.

Should you have any additional questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to let me know.

Eh. I knew it was a waste of time. It's something I can live with I guess.

I still don't understand how some can be warped and some not. It doesn't appear as if it's a joint where two pieces were put together, almost like it was removed from the mold before solidifying fully. But they're all bent in the same place it appears.

Is it just the standalone hilt that has that issue? Or the lightup version as well?

Pretty sure I've only seen it on the standalone so far.

Now I know for sure my probe's antena is crooked

The version without the speeder is now sold out on sideshow.. Didn't even see a "low stock" status.

This figure is amazing. I cannot wait to get mine

Huh wow, that's unexpected. I figured they'd have ordered a **** ton of these to have in stock. The exclusive speeder is sold out too, so just the regular Speeder version available.

What's the exclusive speeder?

EDIT: nevermind, forgot this had a mini-holo "selfie" to hold. So Millennial.


So basically the Regular and the Exclusive are both now more valuable than the Deluxe that I bought.

Is the regular still available anywhere? Looks like it just went out of stock at AE too

So glad I finally stopped procrastinating and went ahead and got this, along with the little holo ex figure. Still struggle with whether I should've gotten him with the Speeder, but I really didn't feel I needed it for the extra $123 which would've stayed in the box for quite some time.

Surprised it's sold out already. Most of the more popular figures seem to hang around for awhile, like ESB Fett & ESB Vader still being available. Either this guy proved to be way more popular than HT anticipated, or they just made less due to being split into 2 versions (w & w/o Speeder).

And SS the whole time was trying to push their version. A couple times they had the HT pic in emails and on the website, but when you clicked on it the link brought you to their version..

Big Bad Toy Store still has him

Just got a mail that he is in the store now. Have to make final payment. Really looking forward to getting this

 

[otheradam]

Does anyone have any tips on how to get his hands into this pose? I can't get his hands anywhere near each other enough to do this... is it even possible?
