I'm not really surprised, the figure has it's problems. I am curious to find out what your issues with it are though.

dun-Dun-DUN

Seriously, though, are they design issues or defects? Cuz it sucks to be pumped up for a new figure only to have it be defective...

Ok here we go,first off with the complaints.Didn't like the cheap plasticky look of the sabers,they are of the same make as ROTS Vader's.It wasn't the fact that they were to thick,I actually don't mind them that way.But it was the lack of realness that they had.The sabers have this faint red color to them.I wish they made them the same as Medi luke's sabers.Luke's sabers we're a shiny color that looked more realistic.Also the way the sabers connect to the hilt was cheap.I don't no why Medicom didn't go with the same connection as Medi Luke's did?

Now the the neck!I was already aware of this from listening to other board members.So yeah the beck is a tad too long.but you can easily fix it by raising Maul's upper outfit and lowering the belt.I would almost bet everyone that get's this will have to do so.

Now the belt!No I'm not talking about how the belt is made of platic.I'm talking about the way the saber hilt goes on,very ++++ty connection again.

And finally we arrive to the boots.Holy ++++! Looks like Medicom went SS on me with the damn boots,very loose,a bit big,not tight like the rest of Medi's figure's.Getting him to stand on his own is almost as hard as getting an SS figure stand.

Other than the issues I mentioned above this is one awesome figure.He by all means is not perfect and not worth the $137.45 plus the 24.50 in reward points I paid for it.He's worth about $119 in my book.But I would still have bought it and have no real regrets of doing so.Not to the point were I would eventually end up selling him the way I did my SS Maul and most of my other SS figures.Besides the issues mentioned,Medi Maul has A lot going for it and is a definite keeper!


Some quick pics.

Nice shots you got there...

You're the last person that I thought would have issues with the fig, but the Sideshow one has just as many issues...

Although my SS Maul's boots are nice and tight...

If I said this in reverse you or someone else would be all over my butt for being a SS blind follower.

It's true! This a better looking figure IMO.I would much rather have this figure.
Just look at the pics dude.They speak for them selves.

I have the piece both in fact and look at them every day. I think they both are very nice. I am happy to have both in my collection.

I have no problem you feeling the Medicom one is better. I would expect you to feel that way. I still prefer the SS one but the Medicom one is up there. My point was that if I was to go into the SS Maul pic thread and say how much I liked the SS version you or another Mediperson would just rip me and tell me how much my SS one sucked.

 

[MaulFan]

Well at least the thread's about Darth Maul again

No ++++!! I was wondering how long that Luke talk was going to go on?

 

[MaulFan]

Can you imagine Luke vs. Maul , Maul would own him.

Seriously,if you really prefer the SS one,then I can deal with that.But really,it does seem like your just being one sided cause your the SS SUPERFAN and you can't like a Medicom figure over an SS one because it would damage your image.

Nah, all Luke would have to do is flip over him. He'd be so astonished that he'd just stand there and let Luke chop him in two.

Yeah,it would be all over before you'd know it.Maul would mind trick Luke into sitting on his saber.

 

[Ven]

luke would whine untill maul wanted to be killed.

You know, you bring up something interesting there, you never see Sith use the Jedi mind trick. I'd never thought of that before you said that, interesting. I've read before that Sidious controlled Mas Ameda with the Force, but regardless of EU stuff, in the 6 films, no one of the Dark Side ever uses the mind trick.

Worst death in Star Wars, and yet, the coolest looking villain. I hated that, bad enough they kill him, but to take an ass kicking Sith and kill him off like some little +++++ was tragic. At least Dooku got genuinely overpowered and had parts sliced off.
