Hot Toys - DX16 / DX17 - The Phantom Menace - Darth Maul and Sith Speeder

Less is good, at least for displaying. Putting figures on a rotation for display is a good idea.

I'm in between houses at the moment. I think I might start to do that. Although it is a pain to pack and unpack.

Still I guess better than not enjoying them at all.

I'm actually waiting for Hot Toys to make a Scout Trooper, because it's my favorite stormtrooper design. Should they make one with a speederbike... that would be damn tempting, I can tell you that. The only issue would probably be the space that thing needs to be displayed nicely.

Same here. If they do, I hope it’s around this price. I can’t justify the SS offering coming in at well over $500 for the set but $400 is doable.

Scout trooper and Pfeiffer catwoman. Holy grails.

It's possible with sales and coupons. Got my Speeder for just over $200 shipped on Amazon and Trooper from SS with a coupon and free shipping (plus got double rewards) for just under $200.

Any Sideshow incoming notices yet for this guy?

I got an early arrival notice like last week but that’s about it.

First small shipment will arrive, then months until the rest. Likely the original release date will be the same for most of us.

Did anyone succeed in getting the cloak to look good? ...sort of feels like a must for me.

So for those of us who got the notice will get it early?

Looks like the second batch has the corrected eyes. Not as wide and bugeye as first batch.

Second batch of HT?

I didn't read this as being a concern before, what do you mean? There were issues with the eyes?

 

[irezumi]

Eyes don't look as wide open in this shot below.

Are there any bodies you as able to buy with the magnetic head attachment? Could then knock up the Tatooine look with cloak covering most of it up.

I thought things were on the up when Hot Toys released Leia and Luke from The Last Jedi. Those sculpts were really good, Maul and dooku even obi from Rots was lacking.

Wor-Gar's infamous "2nd batch syndrome" strikes again.

 

[Wor-Gar]

But its true.

From a certain point of view.

 

[davejames]

Narrower eyes would definitely be nice, but I'm not going to get my hopes up.

I saw that Ganghood is putting out a set of clothes with a body for the Spider-Man upgrade suit, they're just including a magnet to pop into the neckk of the body. No idea how well it'll hold, I imagine you'd have to glue the magnet in or the head would fall off easily.
