S.H. Figuarts Star Wars

Well, he'll be half the man he was then. I tend not to count stuff that isn't movies.

 

[Big Deano]

Well, Disney does make a big deal of thoses shows being canon [emoji14]

Maybe, but, Lucas didn't bring him back in the later movies, so, as far as he was concerned at the time Maul was done and dusted.

 

[Big Deano]

Lucas came up with clone wars though? Sorry man, not trying to argue, just giving the facts

Wasn't that later, after the prequel movies were finished with?

 

[Big Deano]

Yeah, Clone Wars isnt long finished, couple years ago, but Lucas had it made before the Disney buyout, so its his creation.

I know Clone Wars is his creation. What I meant previously was that it seemed to me that when Lucas had Maul effectively killed off in TPM, he had no plans at that point in time to bring him back. If he had you would have thought he would have come back in AOTC.

 

[Big Deano]

He likely didnt, true, but in Star Wars, if you dont see someone die they likely arent dead. Thats how I have always seen it. Its also why people think Mace is alive too, he jumped out that window himself. Maul was a massive reveal in clone wars, no one expected it, even Kenobi thought Maul was dead.

Is Mace dead then, I can't remember what happened to him. I'm sure, if Lucas can bend the rules then so can I, LOL!

 

[Silrian]

Maul isn't dead, canon, by Lucas' consent. There's plenty of reasons why he would not like to use him in aotc and rots. Apparantly Lucas told Jackson that he's fine with Mace being alive and in hiding. So that's not canon (yet), but by Lucas' consent, apparently?

Anyway, you can have your own version of anything, until you wanna discuss it with others, then canon is the only possible arbiter, and clone wars and rebels are canon. Maul plays quite a part. In the movies there isn't really a place for him. I used to wish dooku had been maul returned, but that doesnt work, because Dooku is pulling strings Maul couldn't have. He also can't replace Dooku nor Grievous because that would out the Sith as leading the seperatists, which destroys their galactic appeal. So that's not much of an argument.

 

[Rogerbee]

LOL, starts getting complicated!

Anyhow, here's a couple of shots of my Maul:





You could be forgiven for thinking he was 1/6 in that last one. SHF did such a good job on him.

 

[Big Deano]

Oh yeah, Mauls figuarts is literally a shrunk down version of the actor in makeup, the face and paint detail is perfect on both heads.

Wow. The idea of a Figuarts Maul/Obi-Wan display is getting harder and harder to resist.

 

[Smudger9]

Got my order in for Mullet Kenobi. Very excited about this one, even though I'm not the biggest fan of the prequels.

 

[Platty]

Got my order in for episode 2 obi.

 

[CaptSpock]

Same here. I completely forgot that was last night, but woke up to him being available. (along with Iron Man Mk 3) Awesome! : )

 

[JonEl]

Just got my order for ep 2 Kenobi!

 

[piprox74]

My mafex 3po and r2 are on their way....excited for two main reasons. Mafex do metal better than shf, e.g. Phasma...and they are available now!!

 

[Guff]

Thanks to the above folk reminding me, I got my order in for AOTC Obi. Gutting it is too with the pound dropping so much. Costing us £40 each and that's if they *don't* get caught by customs. Ouch. Thanks, England.

 

[superdoug]

Where are you guys ordering episode 2 obi? I didn't see him on amiami
