Nothing like heated discussions about a figure that we haven't even seen production pics of. 
Medicom Darth Maul

Thats so ridiculously partisan. "Disect SSC because its SSC, but all Medicom toys should just be assumed to be correct."
Some of you guys bust my balls because I like SS. Well, at least I talk about what isn't right too about the SS figures.

tthe expression on jedi Luke from sideshow is goofy, BUT Atleast it looks like Luke, and not his stunt double...
these expressions match the sideshow figure. Dear god i HATE the expression.
nother pic, ignore the goofyy quote..
med-luke is ok, but the headsculpt is... just not him... the cloak also SHOULD NOT BE CRUSHED VELVET. it should be thinn, and brown cotton.
If i could get a medi-luke, i probobly would, but I'd end up getting someone like andy to make a head for it. one that ACTUALY LOOKS like luke. and one more thing, Someone find me a picture of luke from the movie where he had an expression on his face that looks ANYTHING like the medi figure, please ?

Wow. i watch alot of anime, and just rememberd something, here's a quote form Shiro Masamune's Ghost in the shel that talks about this, heh
" most japanese sculptors are so wrapped up in the technical details of something, that they can't sculp organic very well. they have a real problem geting things like faces right"
-Batou
perhaps there is some truth to that?

You can't totally wright Medicom Luke off on the likeness alone,Medicom got everything else right.SS luke has a better likeness,but then he has a fat head.
And then you got the fact that his outfit looks oversized and goofy.Along with the buck body that makes him look even more goofy and awkward to pose.The only thing that they got right for me was the gray flap that opens on his chest.

I can grant you some of that, but not all of it, medi body better? Check
Medi Death star outfit fit the body better? Check
Medi Vest Better 9 unsure, i need to see betterpics, but probobly)
Medo cloak better? No way, it fails for being the wrong fabric.
Granted, the sideshow cloak fails for the same reason, wrong material. if you look at when luke comes down the stairs in jabba's pallace, you see that you can see through his cloak to the light shining behind him.
n ot the best pic, but it's not velvet... damnit , i need to go dig my photos from the magic of the myth exhibit out
slightly better picture

One laste mote, sideshow has come a LONG way in terms of QC, we no longer have super mellons on the figures, old ben and palpatine prove that. I just hope they keep making improvements, and perhaps go back and offer new heads for some of the older figures.

I'm not going to dip my feet in the Medi vs SSC pool, but I will say the figure looks pretty cool. But I'm not that big a fan of Maul's. *runs for cover*

Can't argue with that, it's true! 
as long as we keep getting quality products, I'm happy, no matter where they come from.
On that note, i had to cancel my Medicom Yagami Light to be able to get my Palpatine twopack.

If your into fat hasblo heads,big boots and goofy outfits,then so be it.
Hey! I look like that normally...
What I want is a dark-side luke...from the EU...
This one perhaps?
That would be the ONLY Luke I'd buy...and it would have to be in the Sith line...
Recycled Darth Vader anyone??? (Just looks at his lower body)

However, my BIGGEST BEEF with medicom has nothing to do with the size, of the figure ( unless we're talking about vader, he should of been much taller)
i hate the Boffer weapons they are given instead of lightsabers....

I've actually always found the Medi cloak to be superior. Is it a match in fabric, no, but I'm not a slave to matching materials entirely, so long as the overall aesthetic look matches closely to the screen, which is why I like Medicom's better. The SSC cloak is a better material but the cut of it is dissappointing. Luke's cloak should come down right in front of his body with a small slit showing as open, the Medi can but the SSC can't achive this and look right.

I keep reposting this today, you mean this luke?

i agree. it's another reason the sideshow cloak fails.
IMHO Neither cloak is any good, they both are made of equal fail, just for different reasons. hmmm... perhaps i should make my own.....
