The good ol days. Scary how expensive the hobby got

I do like the SS v.2 portrait better, but everything else on the HT is aces to me.

Looking at the price $54,99 that must be the V1. Unbelievable how much prices have changed ! But quality has improved no doubt.

He was a bit short though.....or maybe the head is big ??

So 29 cm tall means that HT has made him small, as he should be and like SSC did. That’s good.

Small but hopefully not underscaled like the SS figure appeared to be.

First page has been updated with DX 16 specs and pics, will get to DX17.

Nice one Maulfan

This release gives me hope for a ROTJ Scout Trooper with speeder bike deluxe edition.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Well that didn't take long. GOOD!

Tempted by the complete monster set.

Complete monster set for me! I want the speeder, it looks incredible, glad I never tried to put the effort into customizing the underscaled Hasbro speeder now. The bike is worth the extra $100 to me.

Really not very satisfied with the head sculpts though. Nice details of course, but expressions and likeness just aren't really 100% for me. I'll save final judgment until the figure is in hand as always though of course.

DX with speeder for me. At this point, whats another few hundred dollars.

 

[Hoody999]

So I'm edging towards the "Complete Monster Set" too.

Go hard or go home right

 

[Wor-Gar]

Likely this got done over the last 20 pages but the DX17 price is $328... plus the Sideshow fee so this will be $369.99-$379.99 (I was dead on)

DX16 HK price is $226 so after SS fee its like $269.99.


Speeder is definitely worth the $100. If that holds, I'm definitely going Complete Monster Set.

I'm most likely getting the regular as I don't see myself displaying the speeder. But who knows once the PO is up. One thing I'm not feeling at the moment is the open mouth HS. Reminds me of Jim Belushi in maul makeup rather than Ray Park.

Oh yeah, forget to mention I also am not real happy with the laughing Maul head. Looks very cartoonish. I guess they needed something for all the art and comic fans out there.

Laughing Maul es no bueno.

 

[D.R.37]

Gonna go Animal-Style myself. Really hope they rework that laughing sculpt to better sinister grin.

 

[davejames]

Dammit, it didn't look to me like he was laughing before, but now I can't unsee it.

 

[MaulFan]

Part of why the 2nd head looks silly is that it looks to be trying to keep Park likeness, but since he never makes that face, they took a guess at how he’d look and I think they missed the mark.

Pretty clear why it wasn’t at SDCC

 

[sithocan]

That second head is ridiculous. BTW, where do you get the prices from?

There was a pic with Hong Kong pricing on it about 10 pages back. That just converted. SS addition not clearly known, but should come later today I guess.

 

[guyver1]

Why did they choose a open mouth expression instead of teeth clenched or grinning

I don’t remember Maul opening his mouth in the film

 

[sithocan]

Thanks. Didn't see that.
