I received my Maul from kit today!
What a great figure. He improves on the original in so many ways. This is everything a V2 should be.
All my previous doubts based on the blogger shots are gone.
I'll go into more depth later, but for now some quick phone pics.

Hopefully Sideshow starts shipping this out soon.
Similar for me. My top 3 characters/designs are Darth Vader, Sandtrooper & Darth Maul.
I'll try to make some time later today to write down my thoughts on this release.
He's not perfect, and I'll likely do some mods to him in the future, but he's by far the best 1:6 Maul ever made, and improves on the V1 in almost every way.
So Maul has a completely different upper body compared to the V1!
Important note: The V1 on the right is modified. I dremeled the lats and extended the neck. And I repainted the sculpt.
The new upper body gives him much better proportions in the traps, upper arms, and overall silhouette.
The arms can move closer to the body now by making the lats smaller. This is something that bothered me about most HT figures I have, I'm glad they fixed that.
They also fixed the neck length, which was too short on the V1. My mod and the new neck length match pretty much exactly.
So they really fixed all the issues the V1 had!
The one downside is that the neck has a much smaller range of motion since the rubber neck sleeve and chest are one piece. I might have to do something about that. Otherwise I fear it really limits dynamic posing.
He also comes with fatsuit pants by the way, but I left those off when redressing him. I feel they are completely unnecessary.

I absolutely love this figure! This is by far the best HT figure I own.
I still have to take some more time to write down all my thoughts on this, but here already the result of my photo session today.
If you have the V1 and want to wait to grab the new sculpts parted out, please do yourself a favor and get the whole figure. You won't regret it. This is a better figure from top to bottom.
