Hey Jedha I know you really don't care too much about the box but since you have extra heads of Maul. I think it could be a cool display if you can find away to stand one of those heads to look out and have some of troopers walking beside it with Ahsoka. Just my thoughts. Keep up the work👍
Me and my wife recently started collecting HT (about a year ago) and we both like maul, however TPM and Solo Maul are impossible to find unless you pay huuuge amounts of money for so we went for CW maul and we are happy to get him.
I can definitely tell you which isn't... this one, I can't believe they used the old scrawny body that they made for The Wolverine figure... it even has the chest hair sculpt And the Solo one is whatever, so EPI Maul is the one, still the best, the one you should have if you have to choose
I do not know whose great idea was do not put the darksaber and with this Darth Maul. Out of every character he's the one that should have it the most. I just scored one on eBay from Hong Kong so I'm hoping it doesn't take too long to get here. Cuz I already got some ideas for posing him and its fight against Sidious. You need the darksaber in The Phantom Menace half lightsaber hith. You can pose him like the Revenge of the Sith Anakin crossing blades. That's just one quick little set up I have in mind.
I’m interred to unbox and actually mess with the figure, but i really love the idea of posing him locked away with the Courscant Guards as a display centerpiece.
By far my favorite head sculpt is this Sinister looking Phantom Menace, spot on Ray Park. Followed closely by the screaming Maul. I really don't see a difference besides the color of red that used on the Clone Wars Darth Maul to the Crimson Dawn Darth Maul. But they're all insanely awesome!
About the box Ryan, it's about the care and creativity around the product the manufacturer is demonstrating to its customers. They recognize how special these items are to their niche audience in the market that feeds them. I appreciate the effort and care into the whole package 📦 myself. Brother, I have been collecting for 45 years and I will tell you these last five years has been a golden age for 1/12 and 1/6 collects. Trust me, Hot Toys deserves our praise and respect in this regard. It is not a bad thing at all. It's all about your perspective 😉🤓👊🏿
I agree, as a designer myself, I geek out over creative packaging almost as much as I geek out over the actual product. It's why I have a hard time throwing away quality packaging design, whether it's cardboard or not.
"Picks up a lot of dust, and lint..." That's true for all figures dressed in black! 😏 Although the Solo Maul's legs look cool, the Clone War's legs make more sense - why would you have the wires exposed whhere they could be damaged? For that matter, why are C3PO's innards exposed, too?

Hey Ryan you brought up a good point on those leather wrist peg pieces on maul, let me ask did you do that on your other mauls too and is ir better because that's honestly something I hate as well is those on my tpm maul
I've had my Phantom Menace Darth Maul since he came out in my detolf no dust on him at all. Just take a feather duster to him everyday no more dust. I dust my whole collection everyday I don't have many 12, with 3 more coming, takes me about 10 min to run the feather duster over them.
The difference in color of the head and body makes sense as his head is obviously more exposed to sunlight. If it was purposely done , which I think it is, it's a genius move, not a flaw.
Maul's torso is obviously a lighter shade of red because Hot Toys intended for it to be. Yes, this is in fact the best detail on the figure. You see, if he's wearing that black sith robe all the time, he's not particularly likely to get much exposure to the sun. He just has more of a tan on his head, that's all. - The Hot Toys quality control team
Very disappointed in this release. Maul is one of my favorites but the head sculpt is just lazy. I have two phantom mauls and one solo. Think I would rather get another solo than this.
I guess not to waste a very good box if you already have a Darth Maul use one of the head Scopes and Scotch tape it inside of that Mandalorian box and have that as a display
If they was going to create another Darth Maul from the Clone Wars they should have created one where he is the new ruler of Mandalore and give him a throne and the darksaber
I mean this is the exact same look he has when he was the new ruler of Mandalore so all you would need to to get the Darksaber from a Moff Gideon figure and use that.
Taking into account that they went for more of a realistic version of Maul, I would have liked to see more mechanical details to his legs. Like ,for example, pistons or cables between the metal plates.
That particular armor is from death watch and it's very refined and sleek. No wires or pistons. All his other tech legs (especially solo) have that look
I’ve worked outside most of my adult life so when I take off my shirt my chest is 3 or so shades lighter than my face lol. Maybe Clone Wars Maul did manual labor in another life 😂.
To me the best Darth Maul 6 scale figure will always be from Phantom Menace that's the only one I would want to get my hands on I wish they would do a re-release of that
The sarcophagus was a cool thing but to use it they should have given a second headsculpt. Similar to Pennywise. I think for me solo maul and phantom menace are my go to. And I love clone wars
The head and body are different tones because the body is molded in red. The head is molded in black. I repainted the red parts white, then red and looks much better. Phantom Menace Maul is too hefty. He isn't that big in the film. And the screaming sculpt is comical. Solo Maul is my favorite.
Personally I think the Phantom Menace maul looks the best face sculpt said. The Solo Maul is probably the coolest. The CW Maul just looks way too skinny in my opinion when displayed shirtless. I obviously don’t have these figures to compare but still. Being as the only one is currently available from retailers, I’d pick the CW one but idk. He needs to drink some milk.
Thanks for the review. I can tell in your voice your not impressed with this figure. Lol… I’m still thinking if I want to get this figure. I don’t like the color difference between face red and body red. I think Hot Toys is getting a bit lazy. Or didn’t care much about this Maul!
When they announced it I wasnt interested cause of the reused head, but later I reconsidered since I didnt have OG Maul figure and I wanted one to go with Ahsoka. Then my brother bought OG Maul from someone anyways.
Phantom menace maul is the best for me. The new ones head is too big for his body, the single jointed elbows, the reused head sculpt, the mismatched paint, the lack of weathering. Eat pass for me. And the solo maul is cool too but not as cool as the phantom menace maul.
I'm just like you I don't like single jointed elbows on my figure seamless arms and double jointed elbows or the future of figures and should be on every single figure #nomoresingle jointedelbows
He actually should have the same saber as he has on the solo fig or that saber he has would be cut in half and he’d also have the dark saber but when he fought Ashoka he had savage’s saber the one he has on the solo fig
You can replace those pleather wrist bits by using black nylon. Glue one end into the gauntlets, and make a tiny hole on the other end for the wrist peg "nipple." The nylon is super thin, and does the same job as the pleather (hiding the wristlet), but with less bulk.
why would you need to display the figure in the box, when you can just print his eyes and stick onto it LOL booooomb you got two darth maul display for 300 XD
Besides being a TH-camr Why do you guys buy figures you don't like and constantly talk shit about? Just to resell them back to your Facebook groups. But collect what you like right? Lame

fair enough
Definitely EP1 Maul, I think it has the best face sculpts and I love the classic sith look
I agree

Great vid Ryan!
Finally! Ive been waiting for your review!
On what scene he’s shirtles in clone wars, I forgot beside with his spider leg and rebel vers
Nice, was just wondering today when will you drop it.

Maybe this isn’t a popular opinion, but the Sideshow 1/6 Darth Maul is still my favorite version followed by the Hot Toy’s Solo Maul.
Great video! I really do enjoy my clone wars maul despite all the hate.
Are the heads compatible with the other releases?
How much do you pay in shipping from pop collectibles? Please respond back
"Picks up a lot of dust, and lint..." That's true for all figures dressed in black! 😏

Star Wars tech is not supposed to be the most efficient in any way
Just an FYI I recently received my Asoka figure from sideshow and it does have ankle articulation
Great review....I really wish wed get a savage opress
That would be pretty sweet
Does the solo maul, also have the issue with the arms?
It will be nice to see a posing video with Ahsoka against Maul with multiple alternatives
This will be customized into a "REBELS" Maul for my collection.
be sure to share when you do

@@kriscontinuum3267 It shouldnt be long since HT will make one officially, since all that remains is his outfit.
I like the box, I ordered a custom head sculpt to display it without the actual figure in it cause that's stupid
right on
Same idea I had. Display an extra inside. Time to decide IF I get this Maul though LOL
Good Idea. I have a Sideshow head sculpt I can use for that.
@@Blitz0065 it's good man, you won't regret it
Hey Ryan you brought up a good point on those leather wrist peg pieces on maul, let me ask did you do that on your other mauls too and is ir better because that's honestly something I hate as well is those on my tpm maul
Just take them off.
I would love to see you do review on V for Vendetta figure.
Still heavent got mine looks awesome
Quick questions for those who have it.
Can the screaming head fit on the clone wars maul's body?
Yes
@@dacollector4452 Thanks!

I bought a cheap 1/6 Maul head from ebay to put in the box, then have two Coruscant Guard figures flanking it.

With regard to Mail, not sure I want this one. I have Soli Mail, crime boss. Do I need this one🤔 Just not sure.
Very disappointed in this release. Maul is one of my favorites but the head sculpt is just lazy. I have two phantom mauls and one solo. Think I would rather get another solo than this.
Do you prefer the TPM or the Solo maul?
I thought I would love the solo maul, and it IS a nice figure, it just doesn't have the wow factor that this one does (even with the issues)
I guess not to waste a very good box if you already have a Darth Maul use one of the head Scopes and Scotch tape it inside of that Mandalorian box and have that as a display

They can’t add things that aren’t there. All of the mechanical parts are underneath the casing.
I've had Clone Wars Ahsoka and Maul paid off forever ago lol. Seriously hoping mine get shipped out asap
I'll probably get mine in June or later, lol.
I’ve worked outside most of my adult life so when I take off my shirt my chest is 3 or so shades lighter than my face lol. Maybe Clone Wars Maul did manual labor in another life 😂.
use the empty box and put a couple of shock troopers guarding the prison. like if he was in there
Isn't the tattooed body a new feature?
yes it is
To me the best Darth Maul 6 scale figure will always be from Phantom Menace that's the only one I would want to get my hands on I wish they would do a re-release of that
The sarcophagus was a cool thing but to use it they should have given a second headsculpt. Similar to Pennywise. I think for me solo maul and phantom menace are my go to. And I love clone wars
I love the box tbh
The head and body are different tones because the body is molded in red. The head is molded in black. I repainted the red parts white, then red and looks much better.
Phantom Menace Maul is too hefty. He isn't that big in the film. And the screaming sculpt is comical. Solo Maul is my favorite.
And then need to put some USB power in those lightsabers cuz having that arm that you have to attach you put a serious risk and breaking your figure
Personally I think the Phantom Menace maul looks the best face sculpt said. The Solo Maul is probably the coolest. The CW Maul just looks way too skinny in my opinion when displayed shirtless. I obviously don’t have these figures to compare but still. Being as the only one is currently available from retailers, I’d pick the CW one but idk. He needs to drink some milk.
Also the Solo and CW face sculpt looks identical. He just looks bulkier in the face on the Solo one.
Thanks for the review. I can tell in your voice your not impressed with this figure. Lol… I’m still thinking if I want to get this figure. I don’t like the color difference between face red and body red. I think Hot Toys is getting a bit lazy. Or didn’t care much about this Maul!
Episode 1 maul for me and I’m not collecting anymore mauls…
If u dont have maul and want one its a good choice but man they got super lazy with this figure
When they announced it I wasnt interested cause of the reused head, but later I reconsidered since I didnt have OG Maul figure and I wanted one to go with Ahsoka.
Then my brother bought OG Maul from someone anyways.
Definitely think he looks better with his robe. His belt looks too big w/o it.
Just can’t get over the fact his body is clearly a shiny red and the head is a different color red
Personally I think Solo Maul is the best and Bro that single joint elbow sucks!
Sideshow Maul is best 👀
A bit late to the review but taking a look through the vids for insight. This isn't a $260 figure.
Maul skipped torso day
Solo Maul all day looooong!
Phantom menace maul is the best for me. The new ones head is too big for his body, the single jointed elbows, the reused head sculpt, the mismatched paint, the lack of weathering. Eat pass for me. And the solo maul is cool too but not as cool as the phantom menace maul.
I'm just like you I don't like single jointed elbows on my figure seamless arms and double jointed elbows or the future of figures and should be on every single figure #nomoresingle jointedelbows
I wouldnt say its the best, but it is the one i like the most. I really like his clone wars look.
its solid for sure
He actually should have the same saber as he has on the solo fig or that saber he has would be cut in half and he’d also have the dark saber but when he fought Ashoka he had savage’s saber the one he has on the solo fig
Would’ve been nice to trade the Card-caphagus for double jointed elbows
Me: *enjoying my superior Maul figure*
Most people's heads are darker than their bodies anyways lol it's realistic. He's got his face a little tan from the sun. 🤷
You can replace those pleather wrist bits by using black nylon. Glue one end into the gauntlets, and make a tiny hole on the other end for the wrist peg "nipple." The nylon is super thin, and does the same job as the pleather (hiding the wristlet), but with less bulk.
Or you could just forgo them entirely, they add nothing.
why would you need to display the figure in the box, when you can just print his eyes and stick onto it LOL booooomb you got two darth maul display for 300 XD
After watching this and sideshows display video of CW Maul, I have cancelled my order for this guy. Honestly just not impressed.
I think he is 3/3 ……….. it’s def not moving to a next level
In my opinion.... The DX 16 & 17 are the best. The original Maul is always going to be the best representation of the character.
