It still not there IMO as far as intensity..it’s there.but not quite. When I compare the two. must be the bland paint
The mouth still looks too scrunched

There’s nothing bland about the paint job, at least not on my shelf. It’s on par with anything HT has ever done in that regard. But, it’s an eye of the beholder thing I guess.
We’re definitely looking at two different figures.

and since I don’t own the SSC , I have to accept your judgement. 
I guess, and it always changes the perception when you have it in hand, I know for a fact this is always true with 1/6
But as my first 12” Maul , I’m still going with the HT..sorry
I don't like the carved in tattoos. Hopefully that will not be necessary on the final prod sculpt.
But Maul, Dooku, Jango, Cody is a good start at a PT Villain line-up.
Waiting for Grievous and Nute Gunray to complete my set.

Didn't know you were into these PT figures Wor. I'm happy they've gone relatively quickly into the line, means more room for OT figures
But seriously whats left ? Grievous, Nute (maybe), Padme, some more troopers, battle droid. A couple more iterations of Obi-Wan & Anakin and Qui-Gon. OK that's a lot. 10 figures I guess.
Love him or hate him, Jar-Jar screams PT more than almost any other character.
There are facets to Maul, subtle, but they're there, in some moments, his face is almost relaxed but the combo of his tattoos and the contacts cast a burning intensity upon his face, which is what I feel Sideshow nailed, other moments, he was being expressive with his face as part of the heat of battle.
SIDESHOW MAUL
HOT TOYS MAUL
Depending on how you hold Maul in your fandom mind, one or the other will likely speak more to your tastes. I personally enjoy the Sideshow route more, I enjoy the moments where Maul seems cold and holding his hate inside where only his eyes really show it to be the best moments as a character. I don't feel HT's sculpt is inferior to Sideshow, just not my cup of tea and with HT's abilities, I would have expected a portrait to build upon all the good qualities Sideshow already captured, but so far, it only looks like the same techniques Sideshow employed being used on a different expression of sculpt.
