SSC Cyborg Darth Maul PF!

[Reefer Shark]

Maybe someone whose read the story would understand, I get the cyborg legs, but I don't get the weird, enlarged horns, that's actually the only detail I really don't like, but they really bother me.

I read the story, but don't remember any kind of explanation on the horns.

I feel the same way you do, it's only thing I really don't like about this design.. Awesome looking statue otherwise though!

 

[Awesome]

Zarbrak's horns grow like Hellboy's so they have to trim them >_>

EU/Infinities PFs now out-number TESB PFs 4 to 1.

Aurra Sing was in The Phantom Menace.

Regardless your point still stands of course re: EU vs. ESB PF's.

But it's like this with Hasbro, GG, etc. Everyone is paying alot of attention to the EU and CW stuff moreso than the OT. Hasbro has all but said they no longer consider the "collectors" to be as important as the kids now into CW. As for SSC, hot, young female Jedi/Sith/Bounty Hunters appeal to the fanboy base - they're running the same program with their Marvel stuff. And what's sad, is even the original OT hottie Slave Leia PF gets less attention than the Darth Talon PF. At that point I can see why SSC would want to pursue more of these style figures than OT stuff that will never make some OT purists happy. Plus, they have to cover new ground - certain OT designs/characters have been done too many times already.

Too many EU PFs and not enough main characters from the films done. Two Maul's and Aurra Singh before a Chewie and Lando? Really?

 

[woozie0]

People complain when they do too many key characters, people complain when they do non-essential/non-key characters... nobody can ever be pleased. Such is the plague of a collectors life.

I do love all the whining though.

Such is the plague of humanity...

Totally apples and oranges. Hasbro mass produces cheap(er) toys in the millions. They still produce lots of OT stuff. Sideshow caters directly to the hardcore, high-end collector... which is obviously a much more finite market. Therefore, their room for error is much smaller as well.

 

[Deak Starkiller]

Darth Maul was a throw away character and is all about design and nothing else. There are far too many other characters that need/deserve the love than Robo-Reindeer Maul. This is pandering to the SW fans, like a big *****-tatooed-Twi' Lek. But it isn't SSC's fault, it's the fans who eat this ____ up. Speak with your dollars my fellow SW fans. Say no to tits & tats.

Yea, but if the cheaper producers who can make tons of $$$ off of their Star Wars license are doing it, then one can expect that SSC will follow suit. Plus, Lucas has all the say in it anyway and, to be honest, I think even he is trying to shift the attention to the EU and CW to help continue his legacy. I mean, the OT is slowing down - you can see it in the price of vintage SW figures and collectibles. People are getting older and getting out. To stay sustainable, Lucas would want to push the newer, fresher concepts.

There's going to be a point when the kiddies are going to go "Harrison Ford, who? All I care about is the orange girl Jedi cartoon lady."

So 99% of all the prequel trilogy characters?

Raindrops on roses. Whiskers on kittens. Two of Maria's favorite things in "Sound of Music".

Tits. Tats. Two of Swabie's favorite things.

I will not say no!

 

[ezewok]

I wonder where Maul's colostomy bag is stored?

i almost fell off my chair.

 

[Star Puffs]

I get the cyborg legs

If Luke and Vader replace their hands with prosthetics that look like hands, why would Maul choose over-the-top evil chicken legs?

Touche' my fellow Starkiller.

Raindrops on roses. Whiskers on kittens. Two of Maria's favorite things in "Sound of Music".

Tits. Tats. Two of Swabie's favorite things.

I will not say no!

Look I don't mind tits or tats but not at the expense of other MAJOR Star Wars characters being released.

i almost fell off my chair.

Ew.

If Luke and Vader replace their hands with prosthetics that look like hands, why would Maul choose over-the-top evil chicken legs?

Cause. That's why.

 

[kl241]

Why don't they just clone him some legs? Why don't they just clone Grievous a new body? Vader too? Makes no sense.

 

[Reefer Shark]

Because he can run faster with these?

 

[psyberiantiger]

We need a Cyborg Max Rebo PFF!!!

 

[Star Puffs]

Well, scientifcally a clone is a new, discrete individual; it just shares the genetic code of another individual.

Outside of EU titles like Dark Empire was there ever any implication that you could transfer personality to a whole new body?

I'm talking about grafting limbs or transplanting Grievous' brain into a cloned body. I mean they have the technology. We can rebuild him.

In Dark Empire there was the Palpatine cloned Emperor.
