Never tried painting a head. What kind of paint is it? I figure arcylic, but matte kind, I guess?
I don't understand why people think his face should be Ferrari red while Hot toys shade of red is really close to what we see in the movie. Here's a movie still to illustrate.
They're probably all accurate to a degree. There are times it's darker and times it looks much lighter. We all win lol
The actual makeup used was Reel Creations body art ink "Flame" which has a brighter tint than a deep red.
And this is true, for a few reasons. First, the makeup is really thin, and is designed to be applied with an airbrush. So, it can have varying degrees of shades just due to how heavy it was applied on any given day. And then when you factor in on set lighting, color grading and timing in post....viola...different shades of Maul.

Is this a brown coat/blue coat situation? What's in reality versus what was on the screen?
Beyond that, the coat is fabric and permanent, this is makeup that is subject to weather conditions, set lighting, degree of application, lots of room for variation, even the tattoos, in some shots the lines from his eye sockets to the spades on his forehead vary from thick to thin. There is no singular Maul look that all products should follow as a guide.
One thing I don’t like about the Sideshow v2 or Hot Toys is the generic horns they gave him, the Phantom Menace horns have distinct shapes to them. Hasbro’s first 12” Maul and the Sideshow v1 got that aspect right.
Finally got a waitlist conversion for the dx16 exclusive. Picked it up.
Would a water treatment help the cloak sit better? Figured I?d get this one and if I end up preferring the solo version once it?s out I?ll sell this for that.
Also got my waitlist converted for the Exclusive.
Also had a $25 code on my account that was expiring in a few days so perfect timing to cover the new tax charges that they do now.
