This is the one PT figure that I'll get, looks too good to pass up. He's a true villain compared to Waah-akin Skywalker
Well I watched Episode 1 again today and now I’m really bothered by the sculpted tattoos. Not that I was okay with it before, but seeing that fight again and the first time on my 4K tv really made it obvious how smooth his face actually is.
I wish they’d rework that along with that second sculpt.
I get that the second headsculpt is... interesting. But I honestly, really think that HT will make an adjustment here. It's been universally panned.
But all that aside - I can't wrap my head around the sudden spike in love for the SS version. Sure, it is probably the best SS release in years, but the quality is still SS. For $40 more you get a full second hesd, PERS, the probe droid, cloak, light up saber, swoosh effects, the wrist control gauntlet, and if you go through the right retailers, the hologram. On top of that, you're just going to have a better experience with the HT version out of the box, the paint alone will be light-years ahead.
Remind me again why you should go for the SS? The likeness that has equal but different imperfections to the HT ones? We're in stupid prices now anyway, so I'm honestly throwing that out of the door given the additional HT content. You want a HT Maul with nothing like the SS? It'd be the same price, which is too much for a barebones figure as we established with the SS version. You can probably sell the cloak alone for that difference if you care that much.
The only instance I would tread lightly would be if you already had a Maul.
I'm so happy that HT rendered the prosthetic aspect of the horns. Star Wars is all about that tangibility and pseudo lo-fi believability. Retaining that aspect instead of using creative liberty makes a better product, I think.
Loving this figure, but not wild about the open mouth sculpt -- he always seemed like more of a snarler than a shouter/screamer (teehee). I'd have preferred something like this for the second sculpt:

Exactly. THIS is what I want. Everyone, which I believe is the majority who wants this sculpt, needs to start bombarding HT with emails. Worked for Boba Fett.
More of a true villain than Darth Vader?
Not more than Vader, but more than Anakin from Ep3 (at the end)
What email address should we send the suggestion to?
And what happened with Boba? I wasn’t watching that one closely (to avoid temptation!).
So Vader.
