The "I passed on Maul" thread.

[the Doctor]

i dont need or want the exclusive...with captain america pf you got two heads,two shields and this you get the same thing as a 12" got

im not sorry if i'm underwhelmed.ss could do so much better but aren't?

I passed on Maul for several reasons:

1st: I am just plain happy with the 1:6 version.
2nd: Space...with 3 PF and now Jabba w/Throne in my collectors room, real estate is becoming an issue!

What I do not understand from SS on the PF Maul: they normally do not release similar versions of the same character in the different scales soo close to release with each other. Years have gone by and we still have no 1:6 Farmboy Luke or ANH Han....so, I was shocked that mere months have gone by with Maul. Did they just figure he was that popular?

I didn't pass because I got rid of my 12 inch SW dolls because they look nothing like the character, they all look deformed. So I got Maul The PF SW line is the best line out there.

The recent release of the 12" figure didn't keep Maul from being the fastest selling PF in the line so far. I think he really IS that popular.

I'm sure they did, and yes he is I said in posting on another forum, I think Maul is just the perfect collectibles character, he works great for any scale and format, so I'm sure it was a matter of Maul being a great character for the PF scale and knowing the 1/6 collectors would kill to have a great Maul in that line, and luckily we got both. Perhaps some of you that didn't order because it just didn't fit with your lives but your collecting hearts wanted him, will luck out and circumstances will favor you some day to acquire him.

I guess you guys are right....for me, he was the best part of EP I - I wished he had been used even more, but I guess that is what makes him perfect....his role was short, but sweet. Space is such a huge factor for me, if not for that, I would probably own all the PFs! Thanks for the comments!

I passed because I cant afford him. I was approved, but my pocket book is waiting for something better (like the next PF LOTR perhaps).

 

[the Doctor]

what is wrong with sidious that they haven't done him in any format yet.
and if they f..k his exclusive then i give up.

I would say / hope that Palpatine/Sidious could be one that is revealed later in the year and my hope would be that they'd do him in a more Hasbro Unleashed style with some force lightning, which would be great with LED, but may require a bit more R&D to execute the lighting in a high quality manner and not have it be toyish.

 

[the Doctor]

and when they do him are they going to do him again in another format in a couple of months from the first 1.with the same exclusive.

 

[The Josh]

Yes, he is that popular. He's one of the top 4-5 most popular characters in the SW Saga. The only reason his 12" didn't sell out fast was due to it being an inclusive edition. Maul is the perfect character for collectibles because he is totally eye catching.

I liked it and I'm glad it isn't actually that expensive (I don't want the exclusive, I've got both the 12" and the probes) so the regular is pretty good, but I've got to spend my money elsewhere. And if I got a PF it would be General Grievous, although I can't afford the $450 that's for the Second Chance. Although I'd gladly take a free one from Sideshow and pay shipping.

 

[Darth Madden]

I passed. He looks cool but I don't have the $ or space for him. The only PF fig I want is Vader and someday I will get him.

 

[PosterBoyKelly]

over hyped

 

[blue_rogue]

I'm not just passing on the exclusive, I'm passing on this PF altogether. I don't like anything about this one. The face looks a little off to me and I can't stand the pose, no matter what angle I view it from. I don't like how the clothing looks on him, either. They should have gone without an action pose and included his robe.

That's wonderful....

I just cancelled Boba last night... nuff said.

 

[Seretur]

Why thank you!

My waitlist chances just got one bit better.

 

[dharper]

I have nothing against Maul, the 12" figure looks great. But I have no interest in getting any PF figures from the PT. They are too big and expensive not to be picky. Even with the OT I have to be very selective.
