Thanks man. Unfortunately my speeder’s lights aren’t working. Out in a request for a new one. Really kills the mood.

Ouch! Bad sign to start.

Is there texture on his head? Looks smooth

Eyes sell it people. Pose them looking up and it’s a great sculpt.

Awesome thanks fore the pics. Love when we start to get in hand pics and reviews.

Keep em coming people. Still no email from KGHobby for me. #sad

I guess that's what happens when he does a somersault off the bike and just lets it careen into a sandhill.
bugger!

Good job, Darth Alias. The eyes looking upwards really do make a difference.

So head down, eyes up is the way to go.

 

[Cocoboloboy]

That does look good. No cross eyes either.

Waiting on mine from Loontentoys. Was told he'll have it some time in August...

 

[Skillerwhale]

Mine just arrived, can't wait for this day to be done so I can unbox him!!

 

[DarthAlias]

Thanks guys. Yes. Maul looking slightly up is just his character. Since he’s short very rare is he seen straight-eyed or looking down. It’s essential to his look.

Hopefully sideshow can replace my speeder. Shame it’s busted.

I think I’m going to be more akin to the leaping over speeder pose with saber overhead of yelling head and eyes pointing down, at his target. Looks sick.

Apparently it takes a Maul aficionado such as yourself to know this. Many collectors aren’t doing his eyes correctly at all.

So many out of the box QC issues. Holy hell. Will update after I get of the phone with SS.

Besides speeder lights not working, what were some of the other issues on the v1?

 

[Hoody999]

That would be an awesome shot of a Solo Cop Patrol Trooper pulling over Maul and giving him a ticket for a faulty indicator light on his speeder.

Someone must have both these figures....

You know it brother! ;p

So my Deluxe Maul arrived today. Out of the box I was initially really happy with him, the head sculpts are truly amazing. BUT as soon as I picked him up his right bicep was shattered in several places, not fixable, has to go back to SS. Was still excited to check out the speeder, figured I could have Palpatine ride it while Maul was getting replaced, but nope! The left hand side foot rest was snapped off. Hopefully this thing just got beat up in shipping and it's not an issue for anyone else.

The scout droid is in good shape though, so at least there's that!

 

[Wor-Gar]

Two for Two is a bad sign...

Was able to get the Sith Speeder fixed up nicely, the light up features are fine on mine. Palpatine rides again!
