SSC Cyborg Darth Maul PF!

[anakin1138]

I'm sure those sabers are touched up in Photoshop... Looks too damn good! That's what all the promo pics look like for all light up features, but when you see them lit up in person it doesn't have the same effect.
I could be wrong this time... I hope so!

No, those are actual in hand pics, not photoshopped, you can tell as the top of the lightsaber is a lil less brighter than the rest but still a great improvement over the older PFs! Sideshow improved the light up lightsaber on the pf from the release of Cyborg Maul, they said that even in a Q&A of some time ago.

The new pics were already posted Dino but thanks anyways.

Oh well. Late as always.

Thanks for actually being cool about it instead of the usual "welcome to yesterday" comments.

Awesome... I was unaware.

I remain hopeful, but unconvinced. I will wait for in-hand pics to judge how good the light up saber looks.

They confirmed it even in this week newsletter.

This statue looks so goofy!! I admit I love the new lightsabers, but I just laughed to myself looking at the sideview pics of robot Maul. It kind of reminded me of one of the toy creations from the evil kid that lived next door to Andy in "Toy Story." Star Wars fans will buy just about anything (I purchased the GG Ugly-Wan Statue)!!

I don't understand why people need to endlessly bash pieces they do not like or understand.

That thing came out really really nice. Could be one of the more visually impressive PF in the line once more people get a chance to see it in person.

so they say...yes it will be better than previous sabers. BUT, whether it actually looks like those pics when folks receive them remains to be seen...

Cant wait to get this in-hand, i hope the sabers look as impressive, and i like to think SSC isnt stupid enough to update the pics 2 months before release only to show a function they havent perfected, if they had left it people wouldnt be sceptical yet, but them adtivley showing the light means they must have it working and are proud to show it off.

 

[Alice Adrenochrome]

Regardless, the quality of the photography has definitely gone up.

JimJimmyJones, you are right and I apologize. If you can't say something nice, don't say it!! I'm sorry for throwing out my opinion because I know many folks are looking forward to this. I will say that I liked the Cyborg Maul story in the Star Wars Visions TP. Obi-wan was very cool in that story!!

If the new lightsabers will be like these in the future, then this is good news indeed! I really hope this is not just Photoshop...

Hello my friend, do you guys see, as I said before, that the lightsaber glow in a lil less bright to the top like orange? so this are in hand production pics... I have the whole PF collection and the Sith lightsabers are glowing orange from half of it. Now, with the improved lightsaber, the orange is only just at the top. So I'm sure this is what we'll get in hand! And that makes me want my Jedi Luke with the Lightsaber glowing like this... anyway it's just good next Sith and Jedi PFs from now on will have this improved lightsaber glow!

Hm. Makes me wish for an "General Grievous light sabre upgrade pack". Come on Sideshow, you can do it!


EDIT: you MUST do it!

If you look at the product page and launch the zoom gallery, you can zoom in on the tips of the lightsaber and see that the ends look like they are a little thicker/rounder. The light doesn't go all the way to the end of the saber.They look like they could be cathode tubes.

That light-up feature is pretty sweet. Much better than the other lightsabers that have been done.

I'd buy an upgrade pack for all my PF's with sabres if it made them look like Cyborg Maul's here.

OK, so I'm a little bemused by the thought that the most deplorable Star Wars PF is given the most successful light up feature yet.

Here is a high resolution picture so you can see the construction of the lightsaber blades better.

Deplorable...

They were saving the improved light-up feature for the most badass PF yet.
