Sideshow Darth Maul Sixth Scale Figure

[galactiboy]

I painted that head as well.. although I was doing 4 of them and the one I had for myself got messed up. So it's sitting partially painted on my work bench

Great sculpt though, and even if I go with the new Maul it will make a great swap-out sculpt.

I agree great looking sculpt. Sorry to hear yours got mess up, I hope you can fix it. I'm working on the Sith Speeder, its repainted with LEDs. I made one a few years ago and sold it.

 

[galactiboy]

Yeah, luckily just the paint... so it's fixable. I just don't relish the idea of painting that damned pattern again

I think I remember the Sith Speeder you did (or someone did), it was pretty badass. Hasbro got a few things right during their 1/6 figure run.

I would be interested if this was a cartoon version or a mechanical version.

This Maul will certainly have a second snarling head.

Yeah, but I think we also expected that on the first release. But, a 2nd head would be a real boost to this figure.

He's got nothing else to justify a $200+ price tag. 2nd head is guaranteed. Just like Hoth Han and Luke.

SS will just add a stand. Apparently they add quite a bit to the MSRP.

 

[Darth Zangetsu]

This might be the figure that breaks my no Star Wars vow! Which means I could get Captain Rex...

 

[MaulFan]

I had to sell off my Sideshow and Medicom Maul figures, I was waiting for an eventual HT release but delighted to see Sideshow coming back and doing Maul right. The portrait is already a step up, hope the costume, especially his robe, look more like the film than the first release, just hope there's an option to get a basic figure, don't want robo Maul or his bike or droids. Wonder if they'd be bold and do his body tats.

It's a lot easier to swap heads on the modern body than the old Buck, look at Palpatine, he was two whole figures instead of 2 costumes and 2 heads.

Lightsaber (lit up version and hilt only), binoculars, and stand would be my guesses for what he'll come with. Probably his cloak too but that's more part of his outfit I guess.

 

[Darth Fok]

I'm going to wait for the reveal before I decide. But I'm leaning towards a yes

 

[Sidious-66]

I have never really had a problem with the original SSC Maul but there has always been something off about the figure when I have a glance at him and I'm now really looking forward to seeing what SSC do to update this guy.

So far we want -

2 head sculpts
better body
better boots
better robes

 

[FlyAndFight]

I've never had a major problem with the Sideshow Maul either. I added his droids and the Hasbro speeder and it still makes for a cool display.

 

[galactiboy]

Considering the price on the original Maul (I think $70) he was a damn impressive figure... even the buck body was not a major issue given that it was well hidden. I think the biggest issue was the paint work... the stencil was a bit off so you had some weirdness around the mouth and then the eyes of course were very dead. A few tweaks and he's an impressive figure.

But, having said that if Sideshow can deliver Hoth quality on him I think the new one would be worth the purchase. But I'll keep my old Maul at least until I have the new one in hand in case Sideshow is still using the ugly thick saber blades.

 

[JCFETT]

Perhaps the only amazing thing to come out of the PT. And I'm still out.

Looking forward to the pics though!

[Rambler]

I'm torn too. I've decided to cut off all purchases of PT stuff after I got Grievous, but this is tempting. I may succumb, I may not. Either way, looking forward to seeing what SSCs looks like.

 

[galactiboy]

I'm not much of a fan of the PT... it has it's moments, but over time I like it less and less. But there are a few shining moments and while Maul is not a favorite of mine, he's still pretty cool and worthy of addition to the collection.
