Re: Hot Toys - MMS - The Phantom Menace - Darth Maul and Sith Speeder

Halloween a few yrs ago, unfortunately the end of the night. I only post this to show what a few hrs did to the makeup. Took liberties with the horns.

I think based on the hours I spent doing this, and looking at Maul's face, the Sideshow sculpt is more accurate. Not better, just more accurate. I will likely buy the Hot Toys version, it sucks because I like the Sideshow sculpt a lot, but from pictures the sideshow figure looks so small compared to normal 1/6.

That must have been a fun halloween man!

SSC is accurate in making him short. Park is on the shorter side for sure, and hopefully HT does the same!
 
Re: Hot Toys - MMS - The Phantom Menace - Darth Maul and Sith Speeder

I am sticking with my 399 estimate.

This may be a release I want but pass due to price.

It definitely was, it took hours to do that. I give all of you who wear contacts major props, took me an hour to get them both in. I would say Maul and Beast from Disney were the most difficult costumes I have ever done.


I know Ray is short, somewhere between like 5ft 2"-5ft 4" but the figure looks very bizarre compares to other 1/6 Star Wars figures. It could perhaps be the bulk/size of the body and clothes, idk???

Yeah, I tried contacts once.. only once lol

Idk, in my minds eye, I see Maul as super short so it doesnt look out of place to me. but I feel you! I feel that way about Sideshows Malgus, awesome figure, but just throws me off because he seems too small.
 
Re: Hot Toys - MMS - The Phantom Menace - Darth Maul and Sith Speeder

How much were the last 2 or 3 DX's ??

Im not sure to be honest, never bought one before. Im just kinda guessing he’ll be at least $50 more than the Emperor deluxe ($315). But $400 is probably more where it will be due to pers and depending if he gets an extra headsculpt or not.
 
Re: Hot Toys - MMS - The Phantom Menace - Darth Maul and Sith Speeder

I'll pass too if he is anywhere near that price point. Hopefully we get a Standard MMS release. How many people will even remove the bike and droid from the packaging?

I’ll probably remove the bike, but never touch the droid.
 
Re: Hot Toys - MMS - The Phantom Menace - Darth Maul and Sith Speeder

A HT version of the Palpatine and Sidious two pack would be a savage DX set.
 
Re: Hot Toys - MMS - The Phantom Menace - Darth Maul and Sith Speeder

If he doesn't come with a second head, I think he prices about the same as the Emperor.

Re: Hot Toys - MMS - The Phantom Menace - Darth Maul and Sith Speeder

If preorder goes up in the next few months/end of year im gonna guess $349.99. If it goes up sometime next year $379.99-$400

Hopefully we get some more DX Star Wars releases in the future. Wasn’t expecting Maul to be one but I’m all for it. Nice surprise.

Who else do you all think deserves DX treatment?

Bespin Han DX 2pk w/Carbonite Hansicle
That would be amazing.

~350 would be a reasonable deal for Maul DX
