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

They only have 18 months to work on the damn thing.

Wow, HT got a lot wrong on those tats. Thanks a lot, matrix.

Whaaaaaa! But HT can do no wrong! HT CAN DO NO WRONG!!!

Is that all?

 

[DarthBakura]

How is the LED feature going to be handled? Is an arm really going to be attached to each hilt or have they finally learned to use conductive technology?

 

[Wor-Gar]

have they finally learned to use conductive technology?

You speak of HT Maul v2 technology in 5 years time. Speak not of this again.

 

[DarthBakura]

That’s the future though. Make it work Hot Toys. This severed arm **** is 2014.

Eesh, those comparison photos have me almost thinking about not buying these, even if i think Maul is the second most awesome character in Star Wars (behind Vader of course). The face almost looks like a different person entirely.

If they do make changes and improvements before release, will we be made aware of them before it's in people's hands?

Does Timewalker double box?

On display from a distance Maul is Maul in the end.. It’s not perfect, sure, but it’s still clearly Maul.

On something this expensive, I’d hope so. Can’t even imagine what kind of repercussions a lot of cancelled pre-orders for this would be.

When HT modifies things, they make a big deal of it in advance, like when they updated one of the Gladiator Hulk heads.

That appears to be the mindset of some folks here, no doubt.

Hot Toys, quite frankly, is overrated. Their QC issues aren’t much more tolerable than Sideshow’s. I’ve had pretty significant issues with the last five damn figures I’ve received.

In fact, the last time I actually had a good experience with a Hot Toys figure was when I got Dr. Strange.

At this point, Hot Toys is often only a step up from Star Ace and ThreeZero. Pretty soon even Asmus will be a better company. Their dedication is astounding. They actually listen and adapt. We’re STILL dealing with dye bleeding fabrics from Hot Toys, as well as that cheap *** “flakey” pleather ****. Absurd.

Ok, that's one I've never heard before.......

My only problems have been the fat suits and the escalating prices. Way too much padding. Otherwise they are pretty bang on.

They never really did much fanfare with the change in the Sparrow sculpt, did they? Or the real hair on Yoda. Seems like both got revealed pretty much when the figure dropped in HK.

I would imagine that you'll be right in this case though, and if Maul head #2 changes HT will in fact show it in all its glory. And it will be beautiful, just like Judge Doom said.

Hahaha, that last part made me laugh out loud.
