SSC Cyborg Darth Maul PF!

[psyberiantiger]

This is clearly one of the best PFFs I have ever seen. Those who dislike must be drinking way to much haterade. Can't wait 'till he arrives. I'm guessing no lightup function... has anyone heard a definite answer?

But that makes it all the more painful to behold that weak characters get the best treatment.

Agreed. Darth Talon is obviously depicted as strong and sexy in the comics and her pose and sculpt reflect that. Cyborg Maul is a charging tiger again perfectly portrayed in his PF. Jedi Luke, at the peak of his knowledge/power, unflinching before Jabba, Vader, and Palpatine himself, gets a PF where he's posed like a timid child? Come on.

It's a great PF, but the character choice is terrible. No way I'd buy this.

 

[Amanaman]

Luke's pose is vague enough that he looks alright holding a saber, blaster, dog leash, or even a shopping bag.

They should have scrapped the exclusive at the design stage and given him a two-handed saber stance, of which there are a ton to choose from in ROTJ.

 

[FlyAndFight]

Still think it looks awesome.

I don't know... I'm seeing it more like Rembrandt painting Sponge Bob Square Pants. An excellent rendition of a ridiculous subject.

The more I look at it the more I like it. Not enough to buy it, I think its overpriced even though its visually striking considering the niche character but if I won this in an SSC chat I would happily accept it or got a giftcard big enough to take a huge chunk out of this I'd definitely consider it. Despite the arguments both ways, its definitely a headscratcher IMHO considering that I think that SSC has gone a little too varied in their character decisions and could definitely get back to the core characters but you can't deny that its one of the best executed PFs that Sideshow has done.

The Jedi Luke pose would have worked much better as a Bespin Luke since he was sneaking around the halls like that. The pose was a big let down for me so I passed on that one and I wanted a Jedi Luke PF in my collection as a must have.

Bart: Dad, remember those self-hypnosis courses we took to help us ignore Grampa?

Homer: Do I ever! It's five years later and I _still_ think I'm a chicken. I'm a chicken, Marge!

Marge: I know, I know.

Look more like satyr legs than chicken legs. But, I guess satyrs aren't as funny.

I don't collect PF's, and I do feel bad for those who do, being that 4 of the last 7 have been EU or very close to it. However, this statue is badass. Not as badass as Talon, but close.

[tylerdurden]

personally, i like the design. it's a wee bit contrived but the execution of this pf is pretty good. the choice of pose, esp in the stride with one leg off the base conveys a strong sense of power and movement. very visually arresting. and maul's expression is pretty badass.

don't think i'll get this though, since i have too many things already on order.

I'm still perplexed by the choice of the Mystery Machine Teenager Pose for the Jedi Luke PF. Killed the entire thing for me. Doesn't suit that character in that film at all.

 

[The Mike]

To me it'll depend on the corresponding Vader. If we get a Vader in a more static pose with his lightsaber lit, it could easily resemble an artist interpretation of the ROTJ scene "under the rafters". Where Luke is seeking Vader. You could simply pose Vader behind him at distance and it look as if it a right before the battle scene.

 

[Amanaman]

Still, it should stand well on its own without needing a companion piece to make it relevant.

Indeed, this is the case with any $300 product.

 

[The Josh]

I don't see where you need a companion item for this. Looks pretty bad ass by itself.
