Sideshow Darth Maul Sixth Scale Figure

[Knightstalker]

Easily Sideshows best figure. I’m strictly an OT collector, but I couldn’t resist Maul, he’s too damn good.

Anyone know where to grab one for 200 or under? 240 seems a bit too high for this =P

What's the complaint with the body? I haven't done rigorous posing but I've been able to get him into any pose I've tried for and it holds well, doesn't feel loose or floppy.

Tried to get him into certain iconic poses that he did in the Final Duel but was unsuccessful. Particularly the kicks he does.

Most real people would have difficulty getting into that pose.

Ha... Ray is certainly more flexible than most of us. I have to say the images I've seen on this thread recently of the figure are great. There's a repaint image of the unhelmeted SSC Snowspeeder Luke and while it's a little heavy it's certainly a better likeness. I think the fact this is a different kind of paint app really help the sculpt for Maul. The portrait shot on the last page just highlights this.

No doubt this looks far better than their human paint apps. Sideshow has problems with realistic human skin and hair. That said I am curious what a HT Maul would look like. He would at least come with the robe

Who knows how long the wait but I would be shocked if it didn't eventually happen.

 

[DarkChocobi]

yeah but again the question just who knows and how long the wait ?

cannot imagine how busy Hot Toys would be with their current Marvel projects, and that Infinity War...oh boi, and up coming Han Solo

 

[jedibear]

They are not.

Well, he has finally arrived, and boy does he not disappoint. To my relief, no QC issues, and I'm just stunned by this figure, this IS Darth Maul, and the overall figure is easily on par with Hot Toys level, doesn't feel like a Sideshow figure at all, they did a great job. It was weird opening a Sideshow package again, haven't bought one of their pieces in years, it was like a snap back in time, the plastic wrap around the figure box inside the shipper, the tabs on the box, owned many Sideshow figures back in the day.

Congratulations, Sean. So glad the figure didn't disappoint...it is truly exceptional. As always, your shots are great too.

Looking forward to more. ..

All these great shots! Makes me wanna pick this figure up. Definite buy if a robe was included. Not savvy enough to create one as a couple others have. Only PT character I’d pick up. Will see what HT has to offer when/if they make him.

 

[loki2371]

It's been hard for me to skip this guy too. With out a doubt HT will make him. But like you said, the question is when. Since Disney has a ridiculous amount of movies coming out, and HT needs to support those as well, I'm sure it limits how many OT & PT characters they can make in a year. Patience is key in this hobby, unless you have unlimited resources that is....

Amazing pic, Brainiac!

Thank you
It's funny, all I did was stick him by the window and pull the curtains enough to just let a tiny bit of light in, long exposure shot and retouched the eyes

 

[TonTon]

Yeah, awesome shot, Braniac. I was wondering about the eyes. Sweet effect.

Oh man what an awesome pic!

I may have a chance to get a V1 Darth Maul for free. Is he worth thinking about at all, or is the V2 the way to go?
