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

[DarthBakura]

It definitely won’t go down. If this was an Indiana Jones DX going for $282, I could see it affecting sales of the next DX. They tend to pick “sure things” for DX releases though, don’t they? Which kinda sucks, because the DX prices do influence pricing trends for the rest of the figures.

Considering that no one has really ever done justice to Maul and his gritted teeth look... I hope that Hot Toys reconsiders the second sculpt. The price is steep enough that they really do need to put in a better effort. Especially since we are once again getting a damn saber arm. Well, two actually.

XM studio did that

Does anything else light-up on the speeder besides the engine?

The dashboard panel

If they peruse these forums, they would. Not many are having that Ultimate Warrior sculpt.

Then again, if they peruse these forums, they’d see how many people PO’d it anyway.

Sideshow got it with their first bust, just copy that.

Even the PF, though the teeth too clean, had the expression down.

HT could pull this off.

Now all I hear is Leto’s Joker when I look at this sculpt.

I personally don’t think anyone has done the gritted teeth justice. There is always something off.

I saw that... but it doesn't look lit to me. I thought that was an HT lie -- just showing the dashboard so you'll assume it lights up, then in 2020 when we get it and it doesn't they'll say 'we never said it lit up'.

Wasn't his dashboard red and purple anyway?

Just google image, “Darth Maul mouth open”. First image that pops up is Ray Park as Darth Maul with his mouth open like the sculpt.

Just did this under Google Images. Nothing of the sort came up for me.

I know the one he’s talking about. It’s been posted here already. It’s a promo image. That is NOT the face the second headsculpt is making. I’d argue that the only time Maul even makes such a face is in the comics.

I suck at posting pics since photobucket went cash hungry. See if that works.
