Medicom Darth Maul

[MaulFan]

it will own is all I know. :maul

But we won't own for a good while

 

[Scarlet]

It's okay. Febuary 08 is the rumoured release. Just perfect for my birthday gift.

Anyways, til the end of 07, it's going o be really tight with Boba, Jango, Peter Parker, Blade V2, and maybe some Ultraman or Masked Rider figures

 

[MaulFan]

Well, not concerned about the finances, but good point; once we get Boba and Jango, at least those of us going nuts for Maul that have either/both of those on order, we'll have some kickass figures to enjoy and get us by, but at the moment, we're salivating for 3 very bad ass figures and need one of them in our hands to satisfy.

Got pushed back to Aug. as far as I know (luckily for my wallet after Cap)

 

[Sachiel]

August. Jango in October (I think).

 

[Scarlet]

Aug? I'm hoping July.

 

[rw23]

I am just glad I didn't pull the trigger on a SS Maul now!

Is maul going to be any different then Sideshow's?

Well, it's be Medicom so yeah. Not trying to be a smart a$$ sorry. But yeah, It looks like from the fuzzy pic we got he'll have a slightly angrier expression (but not like the PF where his teeth show) and of course size/body will be dif. I'm sure he'll only come with 1 saber hilt and 2 blades to attach like all the other RAH. The clothing should feel dif. too like most Medicom. I mean, it's similar, but dif. I'd say if you're REALLY happy w/your SS one, don't spend the cash, but for people who want something with more poseability or don't have a Maul yet, I say this is it for you. If you're cheap, just wait it out for a sale.

 

[hairlesswookiee]

more maul is always awesome. im pretty certain that after a while it will be like the rest of the RAH SW figures and drop price drastically.

 

[PosterBoyKelly]

Exactly. The only one that's kept NEAR it's original price is ROTJ Vader, and even that you can get for a deal if you're patient and keep up looking. I know a lot of us have no patience, and need to buy things right away, but if it saves me $50-$70 than I will generally wait. I CAN'T wait on Boba, but Maul I'll wait out..........probably

 

[abake]

I don't know if the price will drop that much on the new figures.
For one, the price in general has dropped on Medi figures, Luke was around 180 and Vader was around 200 when they were first released, and now all figures have come out at around 130-150.
Second, SST's SW line has slowed down, and the initial rush is sort of fading, so people are again looking seriously towards Medicom for their SW fix.
And third, knowing now that Medicom is serious about their SW line just makes it more interesting for collectors.

 

[PosterBoyKelly]

Retail was always $150-$160, regardless of secondary market prices, and now Luke can be had for $75 (give or take) and Vader for (average) $120ish. They'll go down. Stormtrooper retailed at $150 too and now you can usually get one a t a deal for $100. It's jsut a matter of patience and not buying into the hype that they'll go up. In my experience, they'll go down, FOR SURE. Not all the time, not commonly, but they will show up and you just gotta be ready.

Even the "limited" ones aren't that limited. The 1000 Shadow Troopers or Sandtroopers are ONLY 1000 in the States. There's still more out there. I'm sure Boba and Jango will hold their value for a little longer than most, but even than I bet in a year or 2 you'll find one now and then at an awesome price. PATIENCE is all it takes along with the constant checking of sales threads and eBay.

2 lines?!! 2 FREAKING LINES!!!!???? man, i felt sorry for the character when he got the chop in ep1, now I feel sorry for the actor.

Did he even get to speak in X-Men...

 

[PosterBoyKelly]

Did he even get to speak in X-Men...

Yeah I think he said something like "What?" or "Huh?"

 

[MaulFan]

Did he even get to speak in X-Men...

I believe his few lines in X-Men were his own voice.

"Weren't you supposed to bring someone back with you?"

"Quit playing around."

"Let her go."

"Don't you people ever die."

Worst for him was Sleepy Hollow, you never see his face or hear his voice.

 

[Puay]

Does anyone has any idea what's the worldwide edition size for RAH figures?... at least for their SW line.

 

[Puay]

I believe his few lines in X-Men were his own voice.

"Weren't you supposed to bring someone back with you?"

"Quit playing around."

"Let her go."

"Don't you people ever die."

Worst for him was Sleepy Hollow, you never see his face or hear his voice.

Yeah... I almost forgot. Noone will ever argue about the likeness of his head sculpt in Sleepy Hollow.

2 lines?!! 2 FREAKING LINES!!!!???? man, i felt sorry for the character when he got the chop in ep1, now I feel sorry for the actor.

Actually, he had another two lines:

"Tatooine is sparsely populated. If the trace was correct, I will find them quickly, Master."

And yeah, Park was overdubbed by Peter Serafonawicz (sp?)

Got pushed back to Aug. as far as I know (luckily for my wallet after Cap)

Where did you hear this information? Is it a wild rumor or something more official???
