Medicom Darth Maul

And by some considerable margin. Callous had a great base to work from with the GG sculpt but his reworking makes it even better and the paintjob is stunning.

And the movable eyes.

 

[Cocoboloboy]

well it looks like it worked for me right?????? i could be wrong....but the numbers say it all.....i didn't get a rejection or anything!!!!!

You might get rejected when they actually go to charge you for it before it ships.

From the Sideshow FAQ for Rewards points site:

Q: What can I purchase with my Sideshow Rewards?

A: You can use your rewards towards a purchase of almost all of Sideshow's products on our site!

Currently you cannot use Sideshow Rewards to purchase a distributed product such as Hot Toys, Medicom, Acme, etc.

And the movable eyes.

Mine hasn't got the movable eyes as I got it before he'd finished doing that version but I've seen the pics of it and it makes an already awesome sculpt even better. In a perfect world all headsculpts would be that good.

If we can use RP for distriuted products now that's awesome. But I will also cry, as I recently had enough points to get the HT Power Loader for free.

The rules say you can't but some of those who don't bother to read them have tried and it has worked.

 

[MaulFan]

You used RP? I don't believe you can use RP towards distributed products. They can earn them but not use them type thing.

Via a fault in the system or whatever, RP can be used for disti items. I used them on an HT Alien once and got it half off, though it was in stock and I've never risked them on a pre-order.

 

[OSCORP]

I used RP on medi Peter parker a while ago and it worked fine.

well whatever...i used my rewards points towards this thing....so $90 shipped isn't bad at all!!!!!! but i really wished they kept the skin texture!!!!!!! the picture before the closeup looks like it could have the skin texture!!!!

Interesting. I had the same thing happen on a ROTS Clone which Josh turned into the 501st but figured it was a glitch.

I hope it works for you too Alias. It never has for me but that's the way it goes for ole' Coco.

 

[The Josh]

Yeah good luck.

 

[Elder_Predator2]

did you try doing it when you ordered and it wouldn't let you...or did they cancel it when it shipped and they charged you full price????

 

[Cocoboloboy]

I tried one time and it made it thru the order process then I got an email sometime later that said I couldn't use them 'cause it wasn't a SS item. Then I did it a second time on a Con exclusive (also a nono) by accident and it stopped me at the ordering process.

 

[Shai]

hmmm those last pics seems to confirm that the proto was much better.looks toyish now IMO.He still has the better expression of the 2 Mauls, but its lack of details makes him a bit disappointing IMO.

 

[OSCORP]

The flash is washing out the detail.(i love that he comes with the extra folding arms)

 

[MaulFan]

I don't think it's just the flash. The way the flash catches on some of the ares in the flashed image show the reflective qualities of the figure, if the texture were there it wouldn't have the soft plastic look it catches.

 

[OSCORP]

It's for sure not helping.I dunno if the texture is there or not,if not fine i didn't really expect it to make it anyways.But the flash is for sure washing out detail compared to the first pic.

 

[MaulFan]

Well it is a bit dissappointing to have texture in the proto but not the production when HT's doing it.

 

[OSCORP]

A tad.But i never really expected that to make it,it's not medi's style.It'll still more than rock,we just need to see some better pics.

 

[IrishJedi]

It will indeed disappointing if there is no texture and it turns out more toyish, but I'll wait until I have it in-hand or at least see better pics.
