Medicom Darth Maul

[Ven]

Ohh man really ! man I want him now and the problem was he was sold out at sideshow so I had to buy him in ebay and I already payed for him.



Man!! he looks so sweet

then I think you should get it first... or atleast a bit faster than sst.

Hey fellas, question on the sideshow Maul; What is the difference/which is better- the regular Maul or the "Premium format"?

Or should I just wait for the Medicom out of the three choices?

Thanks

PREMIUM FORMAT is a 1/4 (in essence) statue.
The SIDESHOW Maul is 1/6 in size (12 inches).
No one has the Medi Maul in hand yet. (slightly smaller but more poseable):maul

Hope that helps.

Excellent brother, thank you. Let me put it this way- by the pics alone, which one would you side with? medicom or ss?

I own the Maul PF (but then I own all of the SW PF's).:maul
I also own the Maul from SIDESHOW (but then I own all of the SW 1/6 line from SS-- seeing a pattern here?):maul
I have the Medi Maul on pre-order and I'll get him, but I guarantee that you'll be missing accessories that you'd get with the SS Maul. Consequently the Medi Maul will be far more dynamic in posability as the body that it has allows for that. Also, if you want to put your Maul with another 1/6 (for example the SS Qui Gon) then the Medi Maul will look smaller as the Medi line are slightly smaller than 12 inches(more like 11 inches).:maul

Buy the SS Maul. Lower price and more accessories. If you don't like him sell him and go for the Medi-- or just buy the Medi outright. It's up to your tastes--but if I could get only one of the 1/6 Mauls--well, I already own one.

Wait for Medi Maul.It's gonna look better then anything out there ,but will cost you between $110 and $150,the price we pay for perfection.

Unless you're a die-hard Maul fan, I don't see any reason to pay Medicom prices for what looks to be at best a slightly nicer figure. I got my SS Darth Maul + the probe droid set for $40 on ebay!

 

[OSCORP]

The figure looks more than slightly nice to my eye so i'm the kinda person thats gonna wait.If medi's looks like the proto pics i'll be very happy.


:maul

 

[Darth Cruel]

WOW! SSF is looking more and more like Rebelscum every day with all of this Sideshow/Medicom angst going on. And, as entertaining as it is, it really has no use whatsoever. I'm not sure why dekadentdave got banned, but some of the rest of us should remember him to keep in mind that it can happen.

I just have a question...are we saying that the MediMaul is supposed to be shipping at the end of February? I hope so as that would be a good time financially for me.

 

[eighthsamurai]

i ordered mine from japan, and the store sends me email updates if they hear of any delays. they originally said feb so i think it should still be feb.

from medi's site, the medi version actually comes with all the same accessories as the sideshow one plus the crossed gloves set of hands. as for other advantages and disadvantages, it's too early to be entirely objective. you'll have to wait till the medi one comes out before you can truly compare. currently i'm happy with my ss one. but the expression and sculpt on the medi looks killer. hope the final product stays true to the proto.

 

[Scourge-of-the-Jedi]

I saw a few pics of it and the face detail is much better than SS IMO but I will end up owning both. I have the SS and like all the accessories. I didn't know there was a size difference in RAH and SS. Really want the PF version too!!!

Actually, what "extra accessories" does Sideshow Maul have that Medicom Maul doesnt?

It comes with lightsabers(both single long dual lightsaber and a pair of sliced sabers), binoculars and bracelet.

To my knowledge and from the pics seen so far, Medi Maul's accessories matched Sideshow Maul's PLUS RAH Maul comes with folded arms gloves(Like RAH ROTS Vader).

 

[OSCORP]

Hmmmmm never thought of that.Either way i'm lookin forward to this figure.:maul

:maul

Looks three times nicer to me.

Let's see

1) Far better head sculpt and paint

2) Far better robe and clothing

3) Far superior hands and boots (most of us don't like the huge boots and hands nor do most of us like our wrist joints to show.)

4)Far better pose-ability

5)Shorter fore arms (most of us are'nt into the over extended fore arms either.)

Medicom figure's are life like,kinda like SS's ANH Old Ben.

 

[OSCORP]

I agree:maul:maul

 

[TheObsoleteMan]

They definitely nailed that sculpt and paint. You can feel the hate radiating from it.

Hell yeah Maul is gonna love to go up against qui-gon or a future SS TPM kenobi.

2) Far better robe and clothing

Not really. Seen it in person and the clothing isn't any better than SS. Its as nice which is just fine with me. The outter robe SUCKS.

3) Far superior hands and boots (most of us don't like the huge boots and hands nor do most of us like our wrist joints to show.)

His boots didn't look any smaller than SS and the hands if they're like Vader's (ROTS) then they won't be better. If they're like the Clone or Jango then yeah those would be better IMO. SS hands on maul do not have the wrist joints showing.

5)Shorter fore arms (most of us are'nt into the over extended fore arms either.)

Actually his arms (SS one) aren't abnormal (IMO) its the gloves that add to the length.
----------------------------------------------------------
As far as I'm concerned I'm getting another great Maul item. I was happy overall with what I saw of the Medicom one and its worth getting.

This whole SS vs Medicom crap is just ****ing retarded.

How come then, you are one of those that constantly add fuel to this debate?

I'm sold. Thanks for the advice. This will be the only Star Wars model I get, as I'm a Predator guy.
