Maul in the Blog w/New Pics!

[Cagoda]

He looks great! I agree with several members, I'm so glad he doesn't have the way overdone "teeth-grit." I think his stern expression lends far more mystery to the character.

Hey all...I'm a little late to the party...that work thing you know...

Anyway...I think the prod pics look great! I'm with those that are appreciating the cool expression used on this figure (instead of that limiting snarl)...this one captures that perfect moment as Maul is pacing beyond the energy barrier as Qui-Gon meditates...can't wait to pose them both accordingly...

I wish that those upper-torso tats were going to be there...what a handsome display that would have made with Jan Duursema's superb DH comic art in the background...but hey, perhaps that can be a future edition of the figure, eh?

Also glad that the Joan Crawford poofy-shoulders are gone on his tunic too...that was looking a little bizarre on the proto-pics. The only niggle (and it's a minor one) is how wrinkled his robe looks in the shot...but I'm sure between water-treatments or a little subtle ironing, we'll have it looking great once we get him....which is when exactly again? :maul (soon I hope!!)

The expression on Maul is perfect, I can't wait for this figure.

 

[scriff]

Looking good!

At least it looks like Maul is still coming in the original style box instead of the Powers that be mandated ugly box.

He looks awesome.

The outfit looks great, now. That was a major concern of mine. It looked like pieces were just 'pasted' on it and too puffy. Almost like what happened with proto Anakin with his crudy looking tunic and crudy leather jerkin. The production turned out way better and 'polished'.

I wonder how the face tats are being done, stencil? and a black body?

some close-ups of Maul...

He looks fantastic...can't wait!

He looks fantastic...can't wait!

That he does, and neither can I.

 

[The Josh]

Yup! Can't wait to get this one. He is my fave 12" so far.

 

[Khev]

While the Klan is certainly vile and despicable, I plan on displaying my Maul as a Sith instead. :emperor

 

[The Josh]

I'm going with this.

 

[D. Martin]

I'm gonna pose him like this...

 

[The Josh]

Nice!! You got a blue sith speeder?

 

[EVILFACE]

I'm gonna pose him falling down a shaft besides himself.

Sideshow Collectibles: Dreaming Of A Sith Christmas?
Posted by Dave on November 20, 2006 at 08:13 PM CST:
Collectors who ordered their 1:6 scale Darth Maul figure directly from Sideshow have been receiving emails informing that the Sith Lord will be showing up at their Los Angeles warehouse in the next 20-25 days. That means many collectors will have this sweet figure before Santa comes.

 

[Seth Gecko]

Cool i'll still be having mine in Jan. though.(going through an online place with this one)Nice to hear it's coming and that means final pics.

Re: Maul shipping email

Yup...

Woo Hoo! I love when Pre-orders become Christmas Presents!

 

[Dusty]

Looks like he's coming a little earlier than expected! Won't quite make it before Christmas, unless there's a shipping miracle, but still - late December is better than January, eh?

 

[pixletwin]

....but still - late December is better than January, eh?

I have feeling this only applies to regular orders though. But whatever ships out whenever it does, congrats to those who get notices. Exciting news!
