Things From Another World

Seriously, that's it for me and suggestions I'm done

Bam! Ordered! Managed to get it for under $200 shipped which is much cheaper than Sideshow. I've never even heard of that website before so thanks!

thanks for the link DGT! necer heard of them before...seem legit though

This is precisely why I've been so reluctant to buy any 1/6 Star Wars figures. I'm a big Star Wars fan but no one on here would know it because I don't really post in the Star Wars thread. I've been avoiding it. With Star Wars there is sooo many characters and soo many cool variants of those characters I fear it would consume me. Well, not really but you get my point. All this has stopped recently though as I've been hearing the Force call for too long. I went ahead and sold a few things that I wasn't displaying anymore to pull the funds together for DX Luke. I will be POing Vader when that hits and Im on a look out for a loose Old Ben. Christ......

that's what I was afraid of too so I set a few ground rules. Musts=All Obi-wan and Anakin/Vader incarnations, top fav clones, then VERY selective PT/OT characters. No scene specific characters for me like the cantina crowd.

yea waaaaay back when this guy went up for PO, even SSC had in the description that it came with a light up saber but they quickly changed it. CSC literally just copy/pastes from SS website. They're good but AE and a few other places I've ordered from are better IMO

was there free shipping? The figure is $197.99 and one would assume shipping is $10+

Shipping was $20 for me... but when you sign up an account on their site, they send you some coupon codes. One was for free shipping on any order over $50. Mine's already on the way and should get here on Friday... sooooo it seems legit!

ahh so the trick is to make an account first before you order....hmmm

Sorry if this has been asked before. The 2nd re-issue is the same figure? And is the neck portion a tad long like the original?

Thanks so much.

 

[OSCORP]

Same exact thing.

 

[jedijim3002]

What about the body? Is it the new improved better material body with stronger joints?

 

[zeiss]

I got the first release of this figure for about $100 a couple years back. Definitely the best 1/6th Maul out there. However, it is sad that Medicom didn't make ANY changes. They could have at least shortened the neck.

 

[OSCORP]

Well obviously.

 

[jedijim3002]

Well obviously.

Is it? Really? They didn't just take a bunch of left overs from the old Medi wharehouse and ship them out with no updates? Do you have this and can you confirm it?

 

[chRd]

+1. I have the first release and the joints are really brittle. But just the same, this to date is the Maul to own.

Yup. I agree. I have the first also. I have a black TT slim from the DX 02 I'm going to swap it out with. We'll see how this turns out

 

[shockwave]

Same exact thing.

Thanks for the update.

I wonder if the neck can be shortened. Just thinking out-loud...

 

[jedijim3002]

@shockwave

I tried to respond to your pm but it would not let me for some reason.

I got the slim more expensive body but found one for only $48.00 shipped on eBay. The larger body will not accommodate the Medi costume. It will be too tight and too tall.

I just relieved mine and started on the swap last night. I just have to figure out how to cut down the neck portion on the head and how to attach the hands since the Medi wrist pegs are too wide to fit the TT holes.

I'll send you some pics and post them on the thread when I'm done.

Thanks jedijim3002,

I just added you to my list (new thing?). I appreciated the help.

 

[jedijim3002]

Here are some progress pics.
*Cut the neck off the head to match a HT fit.
*Back filled the empty head with hot glue and mounted it on a HT black Spider-Man neck.
*Shaved down the Medi wrist pegs to fit the HT arm holes.
*Used a stretch fabric strap to bridge the gap that the Medi belt does not cover. (HT body is a bit wider so it won't close over the waist and clothing.
*Transferred all clothing to the new body.
