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

[DarthBakura]

The alternate head for this just screams fat *******. “Get in muh belleh!”

Crazy screaming sculpt is really just so silly and impossible. It's a total EU thing... maybe just fan-fiction even. Like Spider-legs.

 

[SilverStar17]

The Ultimate Warrior is what it reminds me of. The face paint only exacerbates it.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I wonder what the tariff fee will be on this in January 2020?

 

[DarthBakura]

Hopefully they listen to the complaints. Fans want Darth Maul. Not Darth Chucky.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I see this...





I hear this...

Remember the eyes are movable, I’m sure if the eyes are angled differently, then this sculpt might look better

 

[CollectorGuy]

^ Just... no.

 

[DarthBakura]

Yeah, it’s still a terrible sculpt. Can’t polish a turd.

 

[rayeknor]

It still baffles me why they didn't give their ESB Yoda PERS like this. If any character would benefited from that it's puppet Yoda.

 

[Wor-Gar]

They should DX the **** out of Yoda and give you his entire hut.

 

[rayeknor]

No. PERS Yoda would be just south of 300. with hut you'd be looking at choosing between the figure and a small car.

Regardless if they fix the snarling sculpt, I will likely sell it or never display it that way. What poses do you guys like best for maul?

Originally I thought his arm out extending both blades was great, but that shot of him with one arm behind his back with the saber fully extended at an angle is my new fave.

 

[Creighton]

Wonder If “JJ from Good Times” Maul sculpt will be revised in time?

 

[DarthBakura]

In time? Just delay it further. You know we could all use a little breathing room in between releases. Especially from Hot Toys. Jesus Christ.

Yeah even though he does do that expression in the shows and stuff, this is a Phantom Menace figure. I tagged JC Hong on Facebook. Whether he sees it or not.

 

[Lord Maul]

That thing just looks worse everytime I see it.

 

[K1NG J0RDAN]

It’s horrifying. And not in the good kind of way either.

 

[Freakazoid!]

This expression makes me think of him sitting in a dentist's chair and told to say "AAAHHH".
Maybe it will look better when posed.
