That is another pursuit of mine through the bay, along with a figure of Maul that's about 7" tall from Applause, it's him in Theed Duel garbs but with the Tattooine binoculars.

MaulFan, I have good news and bad news...
Good news I have one of this that I'm willing to sell or trade...
Bad news, it's at my folks back home in Mexico...:slap
I don't know when I'll be going there or if somebody would be coming anytime soon to the US, but I'll let you know!
 
That is another pursuit of mine through the bay, along with a figure of Maul that's about 7" tall from Applause, it's him in Theed Duel garbs but with the Tattooine binoculars. I was 15 when TPM came out so between lack of job and collecting resources, my collection was limited to what could be found at Wal-Mart and Toys R Us, and my collectibles dealer only got in Hasbro stuff, Applause was more a small comic-shop, Spencer's gifts type of company, too simple and cheap for bigtime collectible dealers and too much for low-end toy dealers. It's hard to see, but one of my other rare/odd items in there is a metal candy tin with a Maul head on the top, i got that as a gift from the family I stayed with in England, I went there when TPM was released. To this day I'm pissed, I was in London a day or two before the TPM premiere there, I wish I could have camped out and been able to see everyone, the place was much more casual than theaters here so it wasn't like there was a crowd ahead of me. I think I had seen some Darth Maul bath things once, but money was tight back then and I knew about toys I had wanted more so I passed on it, I can only imagine how my collection would be if TPM came out now :) I'm happy with where it's at and where it's going, the only thing I really want to add to it is an SSC Maul dio, I have something Maul from every Sideshow Star Wars line except the dios, they need to do that. I don't know if you can spot it well in the mix, but I have an Applause dio of Qui-Obi-Maul dueling just before Maul does his back flip onto the platform, it's really nice for it's scale, the figures on it are Hasbro sized but nice detail and solid materials. For overall quality and design, the 1:1 bust is definitely my most treasured piece, for sentimental value, the first Hasbro 12" Maul holds that honor.

A small little homage to your homage...:maul:D





A quick pic of some of my Maul stuff-- I didn't want to dig through my storage closet for the Maul still in packages and I've got other figs (the Evolution Maul and fighting Qui-Gon with Tatooine backdrop) deep in display and it would've been a major hassle to get them out just to put them back in.

I also got that little tin with the Maul head on it from the UK. I was visiting family and my cousin's little guy gave it to me as he knew that I was a big fan.

Maul's great-- and the reason why I was pulled back into collecting SW as I was well beyond 15 when TPM came out and with cash in my pocket and an enjoyment of the character he became the centre of the collecting SW vortex.

I'd love to get one of the SS 1:1 though... maybe some day.:D
 
See Marc, I told ya there'd be more to get between now and Medi Maul :)

SWS - Mighty Muggs Darth Maul

This catches me like the Medi VCD pieces, different, but neat too. Which makes me remember, my photo is also missing the Darth Maul Chubby from Hot Toys, forgot him since he's inside Dooku who's inside Vader right now.

I also have the GG Bloodfin statue on Preorder right now, that should ship before Medi Maul also.
