Medicom Darth Maul

[Wolfwood723]

So I've heard, but I'm a huge Maul fan and couldn't pass it up.

On that subject what is considered to be the best body to swap to?

Was able to nab him on ebay for 151.50. Will post up pics when he gets here, although my SW collection is just starting out, my only jedi being HT Luke, so their will be some fun shots of him and Luke doing battle hehe.

I need to see that.

I used the HT slim body from the DX 02. It's all black and is perfect for Maul. It's quite and endeavor to switch but its well worth it.

Maul, Version One on a custom body.

Very nice. Which body did you use? I see your still using the Medi neck. He does look more filled out.

Body made from:
Sideshow/HT Clone Chest
Old HT Inner Arm connectors
Medi Maul Arms
Old HT Torso/Legs
Makes for a nice, tightly jointed figure with better physique. Sorry..I didn't take pics....my bad.

The nice thing about the Neck is that it's on a HT ball joint. If I ever want to do the Head mod to put in on a HT black neck, I can just pop the new neck on. I'd probably want an extra Maul head before I start cutting, though.

That is one heck of a body mod. Looks good.

Just got one of these off of BBTS. I don't mind the sock body- but I guess I'll have to see it in person.

Is it the 2.0 version? If so the new body should be solid. Maybe a little beefing up but there should be no reason to change the body unless you just want a beefier one.

 

[Keenan]

It's the V2. And I kinda like him a bit smaller.

 

[jedijim3002]

Gotcha. It's a great body and accurately scaled in my opinion. I put my version one on a TT slim black dark knight dx02 body cause its a lot stronger than the fragile 1.0 body. Plus I fixed the tiny kid neck that bothered me.

 

[Keenan]

That looks really sweet. Nice work!

 

[jedijim3002]

Thanks. I'm happy with it.

I want to buy a Darth Maul, would you guys advise the Sideshow or RAH? I own mostly Hot Toys and I hear the RAH are smaller and fragile. I am looking for realistic sculpted action figure, that would look great next to Hot Toys quality.

Thank you

Medicom! The new bodys are not fragile. SS maul looks like crap.

 

[jedijim3002]

Agree. Check out my pics above of the Medi RAH maul. Very realistic detail. Costume is spot on. Boots are top notch. The only thing SS has going for it that's better than Medi in this set is the real leather belt and maybe the saber if you wanted one that comes to a point rather than the wider blunted blade.

Yes that one with the photos looks great! I just saw a custom on ebay of Darth Maul thats real nice but it has jumped up to 256.00 from 50.00. I deff want to get one ill check the boards, maybe a freak is selling one!

Here is a link to a few comparison shots of the SS vs Medi.

Here's a Lil to a freak selling Medi maul for cheap. I think it's the first version.

What are the significant differences between the first and second versions?
