Was reading some post of the people who received this Bust at SF..It seems the paint job on the eyes is a very big disapointment...I was wandering what people here think of this...Will we be more tolerant of the paint job because were the '' freaks'' ??? Just curious...
So, MAUL bust a disapointement ?????

what is SF, and what did they not like about the eyes. can you post pics?
Arn't the eyes supposed to look exactly like the photos on SSC's website? I thought they updated those photos of the Maul bust from Prototype to Production pics. If so, why would they not look exactly like the pics?

I saw some pics of someone who got this in the Phillipines and it looked great. Won't know for sure until I get mine next week.

The color is so off!!!
It's clear that this thing has changed a lot since I saw it at Comic Con last year...

They didn't put the blood shot effect on gthe outside edges. Not sure that would be an issue if I was getting it the rest of the detail looks amazing and the eyes on this haven't changed since we saw it at SDCC. Not sure what the shock is to some folks.

Going by those pictures, then I'd be gutted with this bust! 
Those eyes really lack a hell of a lot of detail. I'm sure I've seen better yes - human ones. They don't have that 'wet' look that eyes have.
For the price, I'd want them to better... but I'm a fussy

Should have used glass eyes.

I had no idea that he even had blood shot eyes in the movie so I doubt it'll bother me at all. Glass eyes are an idea though.

That was my first thought on seeing the SS piece. At $600 it's a very nice piece, but I think glass eyes painted right would have been spot on. The current SS eyes in that pic look lifeless compared to the movie pic. I understand it's a bust and not Ray Park, but I think the eyes could have had more detail.
That said, it's still a piece I'd LOVE to have.

I have scrimped and saved like a ***** to get this bust 
The Fedex shipping estimate is 6pm on the 12th. Having read all these posts im now waiting nervously (hoping it looks as good as the prototypes)
Fingers crossed.:redblob

Just so you realize, the Maul photos that are on the product page on the Sideshow site:
https://www.sideshowtoy.com/cgi-bin/category.cgi?item=2909
were taken from the production sample, not the prototype. The eyes in those photos look to be the same as the eyes posted at the top of this thread - just without the glaring flash pointed right at them

But the pics posted above from Toy Fair do have the blood shot in them. Why would it have been left out of the production pieces?

The flash really hurts it. Here's a hi-res of the production bust.
