The "I passed on Maul" thread.

[Indiana Fett]

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.

...Not to mention the space that they take up in the display case! But yeah, being selective is key. I have Boba on pre-order and would like to get many of the Stormtrooper variations (depending on pose)...and potentially the droids and Jango Fett...It'll definitely have to be a 'selective' few.

Didn't like the character, I mean he looked cool, but so what? That and the only Star Wars figures 12" or PF that I want now are 12" Snowbunny Padme and an Arena battle Padme PF along with Hoth Rebels and some Ep I and Ep II 12" figures which Sideshow has pretty much been ignoring so far.

Well, to me Maul is the best looking Sith to date (yes, even including Vader. Vader just had the cool voice and attitude, which maul had none of). I personally passed on him because I have the 12" and the PF was too expensive for me. I have to save up for the Obi/Anakin diorama.

I passed as I dont collect PF's (at least that's what I keep telling myself so I dont order any). Also the 12" is perfectly fine. Now if this maul was wearing a Santa Suit or had bunny ears or something else completley random along thoes lines then I would have ordered it.

 

[Bum]

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.

[metaphorge]

No 1:4 scale for me thank you.

 

[The ill Jedi]

No 1:4 scale for me thank you.

Many would say that those are blasphemous words!

I passed as I have not bought a PF yet (although they look phenomenal) and I am incredibly happy with the 1/6 version of The Phantom Menace's best part--- It's a price thing. I look at Darth Maul and think about all of he 1/6 I could get... One pose, too much dough...equals no go.

 

[PosterBoyKelly]

also, as far as sith go, robots and chris lee beat a nu-metal looking tattooed faced freak. ok, he looks cool, sorry. but tribal tats are so 1999.

 

[NASEDO]

I'm surprised so many people haven't tasted the PF line. I was collecting both PF and 12, but got rid of the 12 inch figures due to the PF figures being the best figures I have seen. I like to have an accurate collectible and the 12 inch line disappointed me. :emperor

 

[choopie]

I passed because I'm only interested in one character in PF, and that's the Stormtrooper. Fett would be a back-up choice.

 

[Boba Fett]

I have to agree with NASEDO. Once you tasted the PF line, there's no going back. You are completely sucked in.

After I received the Frodo PF I promptly cancelled all the 1/6 scale figures I had on preorder save for Medicom Fett, and I doubt I'll even keep that one. I'll still get a select few (Bespin Luke for one) but they just aren't the same to me anymore.

I'm trying to do the same. I had Grievous ordered, but cancelled him and I'm passing on Maul. Anakin w/Sith eyes and Mace would be tempting, though.

So far I have all of the OT ones. I probably should have stuck with just one Luke. I have a feeling they'll be making PFs of Luke, Han and Leia from each movie.

Not me. I got a Luke PF and was completely underwhelmed. Sold it a week later.

 

[LOTRFan]

I am passing Maul on to a friend, I don't feel the need for the PF after having the 1:1 scale bust. My decision was made easier because the pose wasn't the static Maul I was hoping for, and the best part about him is his face --- can't beat that in 1:1 scale.

:maul

 

[pordey2]

1.) The exclusive is lame.
2.) I have never bought any Star War Premium Formats from Sideshow.
3.) I'm dropping Star Wars for Marvel!
4.) I'm scared someone hold me!

Don't be afraid!

 

[Khev]

Yeah, the first Luke PF is pretty underwhelming. Looking forward to seeing the X-Wing version. Then I'll decide to get either that one or Dagobah.
