PF Maul QTVR Is Up

[The Josh]

Use the Map. He's on table #21

[Darth Loki]

No way I can pass this guy up.

[MaulFan]

My only wish with this pieces is that his saber arm were in a lil different position because the angle I'll want to display it at pretty much hides the arm all together, still a great looking item though.

[The Josh]

Yup, I'm not passing this thing up. I'm getting it for sure.

[Bum]

he looks cross-eyed

[MaulFan]

All the PFs could work, but this one really is perfect for putting on a table that's centered in a room where you could see it from any angle, with the horns on his head, even back views can look dynamic and badass.

[mfoga]

Anyone else notice the small plug and button on the back of the base?

Its going to light up:maul

YES!

[oxbeard]

I had actually thought about passing, but really like this pose. Probably won't line up for the exclusive though.

[The Josh]

Yeah, it said that in the SWI someone posted. I wish I'd get my copy in the mail already.

I do wish the angle of the saber was a little different because he won't be able to go in an enclosed case easily.

I think it will work better then most of the other poses. Its a major improvment over Grevious who would be much more Case friendly if the back sabers were pointed foward.

[The Josh]

That's probably true. Greivous is a pain as well.

[Seretur]

This really is a great pose, and the QTVR confirms it.

I just love how his clothes flap at an angle, as if he just finished one of his twirls!

[MaulFan]

Pose is cool, but I have to ask since I'm new to the PF line and haven't ever seen one in person, will his clothes somehow be treated to maintain that effect or how would that work cuz if they just hang on him boringly, the pose may not carry the same effect it does now.

[The Josh]

They will probably have a wire in it to hold that.

[MaulFan]

I would think they would do something, but now that I think of it too, this is the most action posed PF they've done, most of the others are more like publicity poses than in the moment designs with the exception of Vader and Obi-, but then that fight was more about dialogue and emotion than action so even in a duel pose, they're pretty static looking. Maul takes the PF line in a more Hasbro Unleashed type direction, which is nice.

[MaulFan]

I gotta say too, kudos to you Josh and everyone else starting these posts and spotting these things, I'm trying to keep up with the TF stuff and it's exhausting, especially cuz there are offerings besides Star Wars that I'm interested in learning about.

[Seretur]

MaulFan, today has been a tough day for all of us -- 31 new Sideshow pieces (okay, 29, we knew about Maul and the Crack), plus all the new GG and MR stuff.

I just hope the actual days of the Toy Fair won't feel anticlimactic after all of this!

[MaulFan]

No, there's still the thrill of on site photos, much better than previews and qtvr's

[Batty]

He looks great. I think it would be cool if he actually had a rotating base. You know you're going to want to look at him from all angles.

[customizerwannabe]

My God that's beautiful!!:chew

[MisterToyNYC]

he looks cross-eyed

Phew! Thank goodness someone said something negative. I was starting to worry about all these positive comments. Didn't seem right. :D

Never seen one in person?! My gawd, where do you live? Aren't there any comic shops in your world? :rolleyes:

Not that can afford those for merch, they barely have any SSC 1/6 figures, the ones I know of anyway, and my old hobby dealer I used to buy from stopped operating, plus he'd have never had them out of box anyhow so, nope, no chance to see one, and I have no SW collecting friends.

[Brent72]

Looks much better than the initial pic that was posted from the Insider mag. I'd say there's a very good chance I'll be buying this. :cool:

No problem. Just trying to make sure everyone gets to see everything as soon as it goes up. Plus since I can't do this during SDCC because I'm at the show I try to help out more during the others.

You need to get a laptop with wireless so you can walk SDCC upload pictures on the fly and keep that post count growing.

Well, I will be taking my laptop with me and it has wireless. Just not taking it into the Con. That's a bad idea too many people. I will be covering the show for Sandtroopers so I'll be covering a lot of stuff.

Thats just not going to cut it. I want to see you walking around with some sort of holder that puts it right in front of you so you can be posting the whole time:lol

[gambit]

somehow I am not happy with the pose of the statue

probably will buy but I will not be so happy for sure

[customizerwannabe]

Guess I'm in the minority, but I love the pose. I love everything about this but the exclusive aspect. Don't care about the ordering process as I won't bother with the exclusive anyway, but I wish it had been something with a little more thought behind it than the tired, overused droid aspect.

Very nice!! I love this figure.

Nice, Tom. I was gonna do this one too, but I was just too tired last night (and too drained from all of the new product reveals).

[Natrix]

According to the new Q & A on Sideshow's site, the saber will light up but will only have batteries and no AC adapter.

[mfoga]

But you can clearly see the plug for the adapter.

[tomandshell]

This is a mystery. The Q&A clearly states that this will run on batteries, but the prototype very obviously has a space to plug it in.

I am going to trust the Q&A on this one, since they obviously double checked and researched before answering such a specific question. Maybe they decided that the adapter was too much trouble or would raise the price too much. I know that I have never used the adapters when available--they clutter up the display space. I prefer batteries.

So I think that while the prototype has the plug, the final production version will not.

[King Darkness]

With all the Darkness excitment last night I didn't get a chance to look at the QTVR of Maul. I think he looks fantastic. One of the better SW PFs IMO.

Congrats Josh!

[The Josh]

Thanks and congrats on the Darkness PF. I'm very tempted to buy that because of how freaking cool it looks.

Obviously Maul if my fave character from SW as I've said several times here. So to see him get done in all the formats and know I can have most of them (except the 1:1 bust not enough money in my BA right now) it's a dream come true as far as a SW fan goes. The pose at first kind of puzzled me but after looking at it more I really like it and thank SS for doing this guy so early in this line.

Me too, wasn't sold one the intial shots, but the QTVR really sold me. The pose works great for him.

One day, maybe you can pick up the 1:1 bust. It just wouldn't be right if you didn't.

[The Josh]

I hope I can. Maybe later this year I can start a trek to getting this bust. It would really put the greatest touch on my Maul collection.

Its a must have for you Josh! Thats for sure.

It is. Just gotta figure out how to afford it. :lol
