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

Ok. Disappointed they did not change it.

That silver card or whatever it is seems pointless...

Nice to see a DX again though.

I'm going to have a hard time deciding whether to use the cloak or not. He looks so good without it.

I have to say some of those action poses with the screaming head do look pretty cool though.

You could cut him in half and use the screaming head for that.

Did he even open his mouth when that happened?

Screaming is definitely a "comic book" style thing. I would have preferred a bared teeth snarl actually. I'm sure most would.


But anyway, its still an awesome figure. Looks better and better. I'm keeping my bike, but I do see it becoming more and more useless to me.

That screaming head is gonna look awesome with Tony Stark's chocolate glaze donut or Scarlet Spider's pizza. The possibilities are endless.

I need to superimpose that laughing Maul over my Jack Nicholson laugh below.

I hate the cloak, it just won't cooperate

What's the matter with it?

Can you give us your thoughts on the figure as a whole?

 

[Hask]

For me it doesn't sit right it has no weight, I had to pull some of it around the back using the clip to hold it, the hood is stiched down at the back so I cut that so it comes forward more, the figure its self is great, nice details on the costume good range of accessories including 2 light up arms, the ankles on mine are loose which is a pain. I have no plans on using the screaming sculpt.

I'm sure water treatment will settle any problems with the cloak hanging correctly.

Another review

I like that guys reviews, he seems like a nice dude. And he does a generally nice job showing what you need to see.

 

[TurdFurgusonsHat]

Screaming sculpt actually works well if you want to go all XM statue and have him leaping off his speeder.

And as ZE pointed out on the last page it's also great for memes and general horseplay

Pretty sure he opens his mouth while falling.

Agreed. While the PERS might be fun to use and allow for a wider range of expression, they also hurt the realism and make the head look a bit more toy-like than I'd prefer due to those large, cut-out eyes. And I think I'd rather they just kept them sculpted like on the V2.

Thanks DJ you've put into words what i was thinking.
If i recall a similar wide eye incident with one of the Hot Toys Batman figures, collectors were going nuts removing the PERS and painting additional black to close the gap.
I may have to try something like that if i decide to buy this set.

That angry face is just bad as it can be. Totally out of place. They should keep focus on his movie adaptation and this angry sculpt then use on his later version from comics/tv shows, where he express his emotions a lot more.

Its not that bad

Thanks for the idea, I'll definitely be doing that lol. I like to have some fun with my displays.

Are you sure? Hard to tell, but it doesn't look open much...

Right? It's comedy gold.

In all seriousness, I've been working on switching my Marvel display to Superheroes in Suits Getting Coffee.
